SOLVED: Change background for Buttons in ForLoop.

Forums > SwiftUI
@ThaC0derDre  

I feel like this is simple, but I've spent too much time trying to work it out.

I have a ForEach loop creating 4 Buttons. All of these buttons have a default background. When a button gets tapped, the button turns green using a ternary op. Now, if the user changes their mind and selects another button from this loop, I'd like for the user's first option to retrun to its default color, and for this new option to turn green.

Here's a sample code:

struct QuestionButtons: View {
    @State var isSelected       = [false, false, false, false]
    var numberArray = [5,10,15,20]
    var body: some View {
        HStack(spacing: 20){
            ForEach(0..<numberArray.count){n in

                Button("\(numberArray[n])"){

                    isSelected[n]   = true

                }
                .frame(width: 60, height: 60)
                .background(isSelected[n] ? .green : .teal)
                .foregroundColor(.black)
                .cornerRadius(10)
                .shadow(radius: 5)
            }
        }
    }
}

Thanks to whoever can help me proceed with this project!

How about something like this?:

struct QuestionButtons: View {
    @State private var selection: Int?
    var numbers = [5,10,15,20]
    var body: some View {
        HStack(spacing: 20){
            ForEach(numbers){ number in
                Button("\(number)"){
                if selection == number {
                  selection = nil // deselect if pressed while active
                } else {
                    selection = number // make active if pressed when not active
                }
                .frame(width: 60, height: 60)
                .background(selection == number ? .green : .teal)
                .foregroundColor(.black)
                .cornerRadius(10)
                .shadow(radius: 5)
            }
        }
    }
}
