SwiftUI core data, grouped list fetch result - swift

Question

using core data im storing some airport and for every airport i'm storing different note
I have created the entity Airport and the entity Briefing
Airport have 1 attribute called icaoAPT and Briefing have 4 attribute category, descript, icaoAPT, noteID
On my detailsView I show the list all the noted related to that airport, I managed to have a dynamic fetch via another view called FilterList
import SwiftUI
import CoreData
struct FilterLIst: View {
var fetchRequest: FetchRequest<Briefing>
#Environment(\.managedObjectContext) var dbContext
init(filter: String) {
fetchRequest = FetchRequest<Briefing>(entity: Briefing.entity(), sortDescriptors: [], predicate: NSPredicate(format: "airportRel.icaoAPT == %#", filter))
}
func update(_ result : FetchedResults<Briefing>) ->[[Briefing]]{
return Dictionary(grouping: result) { (sequence : Briefing) in
sequence.category
}.values.map{$0}
}
var body: some View {
List{
ForEach(update(self.fetchRequest.wrappedValue), id: \.self) { (section : Briefing) in
Section(header: Text(section.category!)) {
ForEach(section, id: \.self) { note in
Text("hello")
/// Xcode error Cannot convert value of type 'Text' to closure result type '_'
}
}
}
}
}
}
on this view I'm try to display all the section divided by category using the func update...
but Xcode give me this error , I can't understand why..Cannot convert value of type 'Text' to closure result type '_'
fore reference I list below my detailsView
import SwiftUI
struct DeatailsView: View {
#Environment(\.managedObjectContext) var dbContext
#Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentation
#State var airport : Airport
#State var note = ""
#State var noteTitle = ["SAFTY NOTE", "TAXI NOTE", "CPNOTE"]
#State var notaTitleSelected : Int = 0
#State var notaID = ""
var body: some View {
Form{
Section(header: Text("ADD NOTE Section")) {
TextField("notaID", text: self.$notaID)
.textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
.padding()
TextField("add Note descrip", text: self.$note)
.textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
.padding()
Picker(selection: $notaTitleSelected, label: Text("Class of Note")) {
ForEach(0 ..< noteTitle.count) {
Text(self.noteTitle[$0])
}
}
HStack{
Spacer()
Button(action: {
let nota = Briefing(context: self.dbContext)
nota.airportRel = self.airport
nota.icaoAPT = self.airport.icaoAPT
nota.descript = self.note
nota.category = self.noteTitle[self.notaTitleSelected]
nota.noteID = self.notaID
do {
try self.dbContext.save()
debugPrint("salvato notazione")
} catch {
print("errore nel salva")
}
}) {
Text("Salva NOTA")
}
Spacer()
}
}
Section(header: Text("View Note")) {
FilterLIst(filter: airport.icaoAPT ?? "NA")
}
}
}
}
thanks for the help

Answer 1

This is because you try to iterate over a single Briefing object and a ForEach loop expects a collection:
List {
ForEach(update(self.fetchRequest.wrappedValue), id: \.self) { (section: Briefing) in
Section(header: Text(section.category!)) {
ForEach(section, id: \.self) { note in // <- section is a single object
Text("hello")
/// Xcode error Cannot convert value of type 'Text' to closure result type '_'
}
}
}
}
I'd recommend you to extract the second ForEach to another method for clarity. This way you can also be sure you're passing the argument of right type ([Briefing]):
func categoryView(section: [Briefing]) -> some View {
ForEach(section, id: \.self) { briefing in
Text("hello")
}
}
Note that the result of your update method is of type [[Briefing]], which means the parameter in the ForEach is section: [Briefing] (and not Briefing):
var body: some View {
let data: [[Briefing]] = update(self.fetchRequest.wrappedValue)
return List {
ForEach(data, id: \.self) { (section: [Briefing]) in
Section(header: Text("")) { // <- can't be `section.category!`
self.categoryView(section: section)
}
}
}
}
This also means you can't write section.category! in the header as the section is an array.
You may need to access a Briefing object to get a category:
Text(section[0].category!)
(if you're sure the first element exists).
For clarity I specified types explicitly. It's also a good way to be sure you always use the right type.
let data: [[Briefing]] = update(self.fetchRequest.wrappedValue)
However, Swift can infer types automatically. In the example below, the data will be of type [[Briefing]]:
let data = update(self.fetchRequest.wrappedValue)
