Protocol¶

DynamicProperty¶

An interface for a stored variable that updates an external property of a view.¶

Declaration¶

protocol DynamicProperty

Overview¶

This protocol is the one that all the data property wrappers implement:

The view gives values to these properties prior to recomputing the view's body.

You will rarely implement this protocol yourself. However, if you do, It would look something like this:

var globalLoadCount = 0

struct CustomProperty: DynamicProperty {
    var localLoadCount = 0
    mutating func update() {
        globalLoadCount += 1
        localLoadCount = globalLoadCount
    }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var reloadSwitch = false
    var customProperty = CustomProperty()

    var body: some View {
        Text("Load count: \(customProperty.localLoadCount)")
            .font(reloadSwitch ? .title : .body)
        Button("RELOAD ❗️") { reloadSwitch.toggle() }
    }
}

A gif displaying a text view that reads "Load count: " with a button underneath that reads "RELOAD." When pressed, the load count is incremented by 1 and the text toggles from body text to title text, growing in size. This update is rendered with each click by the dynamic property.
