How can I run an action when a state changes?

Question

enum SectionType: String, CaseIterable {
    case top = \"Top\"
    case best = \"Best\"
}

struct ContentView : View {
    @State private var selection: Int = 0

           


        

Answer 1

You can't use didSet observer on @State but you can on an ObservableObject property.

import SwiftUI
import Combine

final class SelectionStore: ObservableObject {
    var selection: SectionType = .top {
        didSet {
            print("Selection changed to \(selection)")
        }
    }

    // @Published var items = ["Jane Doe", "John Doe", "Bob"]
}

Then use it like this:

import SwiftUI

enum SectionType: String, CaseIterable {
    case top = "Top"
    case best = "Best"
}

struct ContentView : View {
    @ObservedObject var store = SelectionStore()

    var body: some View {
        List {
            Picker("Selection", selection: $store.selection) {
                ForEach(FeedType.allCases, id: \.self) { type in
                    Text(type.rawValue).tag(type)
                }
            }.pickerStyle(SegmentedPickerStyle())

            // ForEach(store.items) { item in
            //     Text(item)
            // }
        }
    }
}
