Creating a Custom Rating View in SwiftUI for Image URLs

When developing a SwiftUI application that features a list of images, you may encounter scenarios where each image also requires a rating system. This allows users to express their preferences for each image individually. However, a common challenge arises when you find that the ratings for all images change together, rather than independently. In this post, we'll explore how to create a custom rating view for each image URL using SwiftUI, ensuring that each rating is unique.

The Problem

Your current implementation of a rating view uses a single state variable to bind the ratings across multiple images. As a result, when one rating is updated, it inadvertently changes the ratings of all the displayed images. This occurs because all rating views share a single source of truth for the rating value.

To effectively manage individual ratings for each image, you will need to adjust your data structure and the way ratings are bound within your views.

The Solution

To achieve a custom rating view for each image, follow these steps:

1. Update Your Data Model

Instead of using a simple array of image URLs, you should use an array of objects that contain both the image URL and a corresponding rating. This can be done by defining a struct that holds these properties:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

2. Modify Your ContentView

With the new data structure in place, update your ContentView to work with an array of Picture objects:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

3. Update the RatingView

Make sure that your RatingView remains the same, as it is already set up to display individual ratings based on the binding you provide. When you pass each picture's rating, it will uniquely control the rating for that image.

4. Final Thoughts

By modifying the data structure to hold ratings alongside image URLs, you allow each rating view to function independently. This way, when users click on a star associated with a particular image, only that image's rating will change.

This approach provides a solid foundation for more complex functionality, such as saving ratings to a database linked to a specific user.

Conclusion

Creating a custom rating view for images in SwiftUI is straightforward once you set the correct architecture for managing ratings. By binding each rating to its specific image URL, you can enhance user interaction and provide a more personalized experience.
