SwiftUI how come this is happening? - swift

Question

struct LoginView: View {
#ObservedObject var vm : ViewModel
#State private var username = ""
private var searchAllowed : Bool{
if(username.count>2)
{
return false
}
return true
}
var body: some View {
NavigationView{
VStack{
Text("Enter your Username:")
.font(.title.bold())
TextField("Username", text: $username)
.frame(width: 280)
.padding(.bottom)
NavigationLink{
if (vm.apiLoaded)
{
ProfileView(vm: vm)
}
else{
ProgressView()
.task {
await vm.userToUUID(username: username)
await vm.fetchPlayerData()
}
}
} label:
{
ZStack{
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 5)
.fill(.gray)
.frame(width: 200, height: 50)
Text("Search")
.foregroundColor(.white)
}
}
.disabled(searchAllowed)
}
}
}
}
So I have these two Views with two async methods getting called in the else clause in the NavigationLink, but my problem is that I'm not getting the expected result and I'm assuming that's because both async functions start running at the same time.
The fetchPlayerData one uses UUID to get the PlayerData, is there some way I can make it get the UUID first and only then fetchPlayerData?
ViewModel:
import Foundation
#MainActor final class ViewModel : ObservableObject{
#Published var apiLoaded : Bool = false
#Published var player : Player? //player is kinda our model
func userToUUID(username : String) async {
let playersURLString = "https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft//(username)"
if let url = URL(string: playersURLString){
do{
let (data, ) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url)
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
let uuid = try decoder.decode(UUIDConversion.self, from: data).id
print(uuid)
player?.uuid = uuid
} catch{
print("bad")
}
}
}
func fetchPlayerData() async{
let playersURLString = "https://api.hypixel.net/player?key=key&uuid=81f5de24b017466aaab4551a3fb38e5c"
if let url = URL(string: playersURLString){
do {
let (data, ) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url)
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
player = try decoder.decode(ApiResponse.self, from: data).player
print(player)
apiLoaded = true
} catch {
print("Error")
}
}
}
}
Edit: If I add a UUID property to my ViewModel and then set that in the UUID function if I refer to player.uuid then it works for some reason
#Published var uuid : String = ""
#Published var player : Player? //player is kinda our model
func userToUUID(username : String) async {
let playersURLString = "https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft//(username)"
if let url = URL(string: playersURLString){
do{
let (data, _) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url)
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
let uuid = try decoder.decode(UUIDConversion.self, from: data).id
print(uuid)
player?.uuid = uuid
self.uuid = uuid
} catch{
print("bad")
}
}
}
But there's something really weird here, in my profileview:
struct ProfileView: View {
#ObservedObject var vm : ViewModel
var body: some View {
List{
VStack{
Text(vm.player?.displayname ?? "T")
.padding(.vertical, 0)
AsyncImage(url: URL(string: "https://crafatar.com/renders/body//(vm.uuid)%22)) { image in
image
.center()
} placeholder: {
ProgressView()
}
}
vm.player?.displayname works and gives me the value but for some reason vm.player?.uuid doesn't work and only vm.uuid works..
