Fully updated for Xcode 11.2
There’s one more thing to add in order to finish off this screen, which is to make the Confirm Order button work. We’re not actually going to send the order off somewhere, but we are going to show an alert confirming that it all went through successfully.
Like other things in this form this requires us to add another @State
property, this time tracking whether the alert is visible or not. And this is where I hope the reactive nature of SwiftUI starts to become clear: we don’t say “show the alert” or “hide the alert” like we would do in UIKit, but instead say “here are the conditions where the alert should be shown” and let SwiftUI figure out when those conditions are met.
So, first let’s create another @State
property saying that the payment alert isn’t currently showing:
@State private var showingPaymentAlert = false
Now we’ll attach an alert()
modifier to our form, with a two-way binding to that property:
.alert(isPresented: $showingPaymentAlert) {
// more to come
}
It’s a two-way binding so that SwiftUI knows to show the alert when showingPaymentAlert
becomes true, and will also set showingPaymentAlert
back to false when the alert is dismissed.
What alert? Well, that’s the alert that will show a confirmation of the price they paid plus an OK button. Put this in place of the // more to come
comment:
Alert(title: Text("Order confirmed"), message: Text("Your total was $\(totalPrice, specifier: "%.2f") – thank you!"), dismissButton: .default(Text("OK")))
Now we can make that alert show whenever we want, just by setting showingPaymentAlert
to true. So, change our button to this:
Button("Confirm order") {
self.showingPaymentAlert.toggle()
}
Run the program and see what you think – it’s really coming together now!
