Hi all, quite new to SwiftUi, thanks to Paul I make some progress. Having finished Project 10 of "SwiftUI in 100 days" I tried to write a first little app on my own reading from and writing to a little API I wrote to see the data from my photovoltaic system. But I came across a problem I can't solve on my own (well, I did solve it, sort of, but my feeling is, that there must be a better solution).

It's all about master and detail view - and editing data in the detail view. I wrote a most simple (and totally useless) app to demonstrate my problem. When I switch to the detail view - how can I pass my variable in so that any change I make there gets reflected in the main view? I just want to edit the data from the respective row.

What I tried is this, but there must be a better solution than to look for the UUID of the row?

struct ContentView: View {
    class Test: ObservableObject {
        struct Row {
            var id: UUID
            var name: String
            var nummer: Int

            init(name: String, nummer: Int) {
                self.name = name
                self.nummer = nummer
                self.id = UUID()
            }
        }
        @Published var title = "Test"
        @Published var rows = [Row(name: "Item 1", nummer: 1), Row(name: "Item 2",nummer: 2), Row(name: "Item 3", nummer: 3), Row(name: "Item 4",nummer: 4)]
    }

    struct detailView: View {

        @ObservedObject var test: Test
        var itemID: UUID

        var body: some View {
            Form {
                TextField(test.rows[getItemByID(itemID: itemID)].name, text: $test.rows[getItemByID(itemID: itemID)].name)
                Text("\(test.rows[getItemByID(itemID: itemID)].nummer)" )
            }
        }

        func getItemByID(itemID: UUID) -> Int {
            return test.rows.firstIndex(where: {$0.id == itemID}) ?? 0
        }
    }

    @StateObject var test = Test()

    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {

            List {
                Section("Title") {
                    Text(test.title)
                        .font(.headline)
                }
                Section("Title") {
                    ForEach(test.rows, id: \.nummer) { row in
                        NavigationLink {
                            detailView(test: test, itemID: row.id)
                        } label: {
                            Text(row.name)
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

    }
}

I don't think you're far off. The biggest issue I see is your data model looks like you put it together in a way that "solves" some of your issues with your View design.

If you start with a cleaner data model, I think you'll find a clearer path to your solution.

I'd probably start with a class as a container for your editable data, constructed as an @ObservableObject, and have it expose data struct(s) or even just properties directly.

There was a similar discussion about this topic over at this thread. See -> Modify array in an observable object

Also, a similar article here: Nested Observable Objects

I remember reading on StackOverflow some code creating ObservableArray. This would publish any time a value INSIDE an array element changes. Probably closer to what you'd like to see.
