How could I make a button change the value of a Bool in SwiftUI?

Forums > SwiftUI

I am building an app that will store multiple Nintendo consoles and their details (kinda like Mactracker but for Nintendo stuff).

I have a favourites view that stores only if consoles that only have a bool variable set to true, the consoles are stored in a consoles file which will be showed below. This is all working fine but I want to make a button that changes the value of the bool from false to true and then from true to false if its tapped again.

I tried using .toggle() but couldn't get anywhere.

I want the console in which I press the "Add to favorites button" to save it in the favorites view. Which means I need to change a favourites bool in the console list to true. When I press on the same button again I want it to be removed from the favorites view

The button is in the ConsoleDetailView. I have a main menu which has the multiple categories including the favorites category which takes me to the favourites view.

Here's the main menu (The else if's help me put them in different sections so don't mind them):

import SwiftUI

struct MainMenu: View {
    // Use categories ordered by alphabetical order
    var categories = ConsoleList.categories.sorted(by: {$0.key < $1.key})
    var con = ConsoleList.consoles

    var body: some View {
        // Navigation view for all types
        NavigationView{
            List {
                Section {
                    NavigationLink {
                        CurrentConsoles(con: con)
                    } label: {
                        Image(systemName: "folder")
                            .foregroundColor(.red)
                        Text("Current Consoles")
                        .fontWeight(.semibold)}
                    NavigationLink {
                        Favorites(con: con)
                    } label: {
                        //Favorites part
                        Image(systemName: "heart")
                            .foregroundColor(.red)
                        Text("Favorites")
                        .fontWeight(.semibold)}
                }
                Section {
                    ForEach(categories, id: \.key) {  category in
                        if category.key == "Home Consoles"{
                            NavigationLink(destination: ConsoleMenu(con: category.value), label:{

                                    .fontWeight(.semibold)

                                    .fontWeight(.semibold)
                            })

                        }
                    }
                }
                Section {

                        }else if category.key == "GameBoys"{
                            NavigationLink(destination: ConsoleMenu(con: category.value), label:{

                        }else if category.key == "Game & Watch" {
                            NavigationLink(destination: ConsoleMenu(con: category.value), label:{
                                Image(systemName: "folder")
                                    .foregroundColor(.red)
                                Text(category.key)
                                    .fontWeight(.semibold)
                            })
                        }else if category.key == "iQue" {
                            NavigationLink(destination: ConsoleMenu(con: category.value), label:{

                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            .navigationTitle("Famitrack")

        }
    }
}

struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        MainMenu()
    }
}

Here's the favourites view:

import SwiftUI

struct Favorites: View {

    var con: [ConsoleDetails]
    var body: some View {
        //list of consoles
        List(con){ cons in
            if cons.favorites {
                NavigationLink(destination: ConsoleDetailView(con: cons), label:{
                    Image(cons.imgName)
                        .resizable()
                        .scaledToFit()
                        .frame(width: 50, height: 50)
                        .cornerRadius(4)
                        .padding(.vertical, 4)

                    VStack (alignment: .leading){
                        if cons.category == "Game & Watch" {
                            Text(cons.consoleName)
                                .fontWeight(.semibold)
                            Text(cons.mostSoldGame)
                                .font(.subheadline)
                        }else{
                            Text(cons.consoleName)
                                .fontWeight(.semibold)
                            Text(cons.category)
                                .font(.subheadline)
                        }
                    }
                }).navigationTitle("Favorites")
            }
        }
    }
}

struct favorites_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        Favorites(con: ConsoleList.consoles)
    }
}

Here's the Console Detail View with the favorites button near the end:

import SwiftUI

struct ConsoleDetailView: View {

    @State var con: ConsoleDetails

    var body: some View {
        VStack{
            HStack{
                Spacer()
                Image(con.imgName)
                    .resizable()
                    .scaledToFit()
                    .frame( height: 60)
                VStack(alignment: .leading) {
                    Text(con.consoleName)
                        .font(.title2)
                        .fontWeight(.semibold)
                    if con.category == "Game & Watch" {
                        Text(con.mostSoldGame)
                    }

}

Here's the list of all consoles (but I put one to save space):

    var processor: String = ""
    var screenSize: String = ""
    var dims: String = ""
    var favorites: Bool = false
    var discontinued: Bool = true
    var isHandheld: Bool = true
}

struct ConsoleList{
    //The consoles list but I'll only put one to save space
    static var categories = Dictionary(grouping: consoles, by: {$0.category } )
    static var consoles = [

                          D: 0.55\"
                          """,
                       favorites: false,
                       discontinued: false,
                       isHandheld: true),

You .toggle() the Bool in the ConsoleDetailView but do you save the change? If not, you will never see the difference in the Favorites view.
