How to add a TextField to Alert in SwiftUI?

Question

Anyone an idea how to create an Alert in SwiftUI that contains a TextField?

Answer 1

This is an example based on the SwiftUI Sheet class that displays a dialog with a prompt, a text field, and the classic OK and Dismiss button

First lets make our Dialog class, which will pop when user want to edit a value:

import SwiftUI

struct Dialog: View {
    @Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode

    /// Edited value, passed from outside
    @Binding var value: String?

    /// Prompt message
    var prompt: String = ""
    
    /// The value currently edited
    @State var fieldValue: String
    
    /// Init the Dialog view
    /// Passed @binding value is duplicated to @state value while editing
    init(prompt: String, value: Binding) {
        _value = value
        self.prompt = prompt
        _fieldValue = State(initialValue: value.wrappedValue ?? "")
    }

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text(prompt).padding()
            TextField("", text: $fieldValue)
            .frame(width: 200, alignment: .center)
            HStack {
            Button("OK") {
                self.value = fieldValue
                self.presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss()
            }
            Button("Dismiss") {
                self.presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss()
            }
            }.padding()
        }
        .padding()
    }
}

#if DEBUG
struct Dialog_Previews: PreviewProvider {

    static var previews: some View {
        var name = "John Doe"
        Dialog(prompt: "Name", value: Binding.init(get: { name }, set: {name = $0 ?? ""}))
    }
}
#endif

Now we use it this way in the caller View:

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    /// Is the input dialog displayed
    @State var dialogDisplayed = false
    
    /// The name to edit
    @State var name: String? = nil
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text(name ?? "Unnamed").frame(width: 200).padding()
            Button(name == nil ? "Set Name" : "Change Name") {
                dialogDisplayed = true
            }
            .sheet(isPresented: $dialogDisplayed) {
                Dialog(prompt: name == nil ? "Enter a name" : "Enter a new name", value: $name)
            }
            .onChange(of: name, perform: { value in
                print("Name Changed : \(value)")
            }
            .padding()
        }
        .padding()
    }
}

#if DEBUG
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        ContentView()
    }
}
#endif
