I wanted to make a custom SwiftUI text field that can handle first responder but I had this error with my code:
Cannot assign to property: '$text' is immutable
What should I do?
struct CustomTextField: UIViewRepresentable {
class Coordinator: NSObject, UITextFieldDelegate {
@Binding var text: String
var didBecomeFirstResponder = false
init(txt: Binding<String>) {
self.$text = txt
}
func textFieldDidChangeSelection(_ textField: UITextField) {
text = textField.text ?? ""
}
}
@Binding var text: String
var isFirstResponder: Bool = false
func makeUIView(context: UIViewRepresentableContext<CustomTextField>) -> UITextField {
let textField = UITextField(frame: .zero)
textField.delegate = context.coordinator
return textField
}
func makeCoordinator() -> CustomTextField.Coordinator {
return Coordinator(txt: $text)
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: UITextField, context: UIViewRepresentableContext<CustomTextField>) {
uiView.text = text
if isFirstResponder && !context.coordinator.didBecomeFirstResponder {
uiView.becomeFirstResponder()
context.coordinator.didBecomeFirstResponder = true
}
}
}
In beta 4, the implementation of property wrappers changed.
Until beta 3, this was valid:
self.$text = txt
In beta 4, it changed to:
self._text = txt
Check for the difference in implementation, in this other question I posted:
