In my StoryCardView I have a String value I get from observing a view model.


Here is the view model

import Foundation
import Combine

class StoryViewModel: ObservableObject, Identifiable {
    private let storyRepository = StoryRepository()
    @Published var story: Story

    private var cancellables: Set<AnyCancellable> = []

    var id = ""

    init(story: Story) {
        self.story = story

        // set up binding for story between the stories id and the viewmodels
        //id then store object in cancellables so it can be canceled later
        $story
            .compactMap { $0.id }
            .assign(to: \.id, on: self)
            .store(in: &cancellables)
    }

    func remove() {
        storyRepository.remove(story)
    }

    func editStory(story: Story) {
        storyRepository.updateStory(story)
    }

}

In StoryCardView

It comes in like this storyViewModel.story

If you print storyViewModel.story on a button action in view it returns this

Story(id: “”, bodyText: “”, userId: “123”, etc)

I want to pass userId to another view

If I print storyViewModel.story.userId it prints “123”

I want to pass userId value in a sheet that renders StoryAuthorProfileView()


Thanks for having a look

Here is a link to post I wrote about this app and it has a repo if anybody wants to have a look: http://bit.ly/hacking-mvvm

That probably needs a bit more explanation. If you are passing the storyViewModel into the view as a binding, then changing the values should propogate back from the view. If it is passed into another view then that view will have the new value.

Sorry I did not write a better question, it was late and brain was a bit broken.

I ended up just adding a property on the StoryAuthorProfileView let storyUserID: String then just passing the userId

StoryAuthorProfileView(storyUserID: storyViewModel.story.userId ?? "")

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
