I have a view that is pulling the context from the environment using the latest SwiftUI CoreData template (i.e. there is a preview/in-memory context vs the persistent context).
I also have an @ObservableObject class that is fetching objects based on the predicates passed in (think dynamic filtering). A random element from these fetched results are then displayed back in the view (i.e. I do not need this ObservableObject class to be a view itself).
However, there is an interesting "issue" where I cannot instantiate my @ObservedObject because the property initializers are run before "self" is available and I need to pass it the NSManagedObjectContext.
The only way I can think to get around this is to create the ObservableObject class outside of the view and pass it in the view's initializer. However, this isn't completely desirable as I would prefer this data be completely private to the view as other views do not need to know about its existence.
I also need it to be an ObserableObject so that the filters can change and it be reflected back in the view observing it.
Am I using the wrong tool or thinking about this wrong?
class Filter: ObservableObject {
@Published var someObjects: [Objects] = []
/* Need to instantiate with the context so objects can be fetched */
private let context: NSManagedObjectContext
}
struct ContentView: View {
@Environment(\.managedObjectContext) var context
	 /* Cannot initialize here as context isn't available */
@ObservedObject var filter = Filter(context: context)
}
