Hi guys,

I'm losing my mind a bit trying to figure out how to create some sections based on the day component of a day but no luck. I have tried multiple methods but I'm getting stuck every time, I would appreciate any hint. Last time I tried with a dictionary and I realise that the flaw lies in the Date proprety having such a granularity that every moment is different from the other but I can't think of anything else. Thank you!

Struct:

struct Scan: Identifiable, Codable, Comparable {
    var id = UUID()
    var scanDate = Date()
    let content: String

    static func < (lhs: Scan, rhs: Scan) -> Bool {
        return lhs.scanDate < rhs.scanDate
    }
}

View:

struct History: View {
    @EnvironmentObject var modelData: ModelData

    var groupedByDate: [Date: [Scan]] {
        Dictionary(grouping: modelData.scans, by: {$0.scanDate})
    }

    var headers: [Date] {
        groupedByDate.map({ $0.key }).sorted()
    }

    var body: some View {
        List {
            ForEach(headers, id: \.self) { header in
                Section(header: Text(header, style: .date)) {
                    ForEach(groupedByDate[header]!) { scan in
                        Text(scan.content)
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

edit, I tried with scanDate as a computed proprety as well but it changes the value to all my previous saved object also :(

struct Scan: Identifiable, Codable, Comparable {
    var id = UUID()
    var scanDate: Date {
        let now = Date()
        let components = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.year, .month, .day], from: now)
        let date = Calendar.current.date(from: components)
        return date!
    }
    let content: String

    static func < (lhs: Scan, rhs: Scan) -> Bool {
        return lhs.scanDate < rhs.scanDate
    }
}

Edit2: Solved it by refering to another proprety outside the computed proprety like this:

struct Scan: Identifiable, Codable, Comparable {
    var id = UUID()
    var now = Date()
    var scanDate: Date {
        let components = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.year, .month, .day], from: now)
        let date = Calendar.current.date(from: components)
        return date ?? Date()
    }
    let content: String

    static func < (lhs: Scan, rhs: Scan) -> Bool {
        return lhs.scanDate < rhs.scanDate
    }
}

Turns out you're right, it works this way too. Thank you DMG! edit: it's not the case to add one second after 12.00 AM
