How to Save an Imported File Name as String in SwiftUI

If you're developing a SwiftUI application and you're looking to import JSON files while also keeping track of their names, you may find yourself running into some challenges. Perhaps you've got a file importer working, but need help saving the filename as a string to display on your app. This guide will provide you with a clear solution to this common problem.

The Problem: Saving the Imported File Name

When importing a file, simply being able to select it isn’t enough; sometimes, you'll want to display the selected file name in your app's UI. Storing the name of the file you just imported allows you to enhance user experience by confirming to users which file has been selected.

The Solution

To solve this issue in SwiftUI, you'll need to work with a few state variables and implement a file importer. Here's a breakdown of the necessary steps.

Step 1: Setup the ContentView

We'll set up a basic SwiftUI ContentView structure where we'll define our state variables. The main components we need are:

A state variable to manage whether a file is being imported.

Another state variable to store the selected file name as a string.

Here’s the initial setup:
