Hello All, some background information first. I have the following struct:
Struct Category: Identifiable, Codeable, Hashable { var id: UUID var name: String var subCategory: [Category]? }
var categories: [Category]
There is no limit how many levels deep the subcategory can be. The user is essentially creating a hierarchical data filing system.
Given that the number of subCategory levels is unlimited, I am recursing over the subcategories to find the correct level at which to insert the newCategory.
The recursive function to add category is declared as:
func recursiveAddCategory(newCategory: Category, subCategoryOf: inout [Category]?)
you will note that I am trying to pass the subCategory as a reference (using inout), so that I can add to the original
and the function is called as recursiveAddCategory(newCategory, &categories.subCategory!)
the actual append statement within the recursiveAddCategory function is:
categories.subCategory?.append(newCategory)
I am encountering no errors but also find that the newCategory is not being added to the categories array.
Any help or guidance appreciated.
Thanks
