Redux (Binding to an External Store)

SwiftUI doesn't have any concept of a reducer as either found in redux or useReducer. But often what motivates the use of redux is the desire to create a single source of truth within an external model or store — stores which can be subscribed to and updated from multiple components. You can achieve this in SwiftUI using the BindableObject protocol and @ObjectBinding property wrapper.

[Edit: Using @EnvironmentObject might actually be a closer proxy to redux, since it allows you to access a single source of truth throughout the app, similar to redux. So be sure to check out the context page for an explanation on how to use EnvironmentObject]

I'm going to bypass the React example because it's quite verbose, but you can find a simple example of redux with this counter.

Swift

This swift example creates an external UserStore class which adheres to the BindableObject protocol, allowing Views to subscribe to changes. We indicate when changes occur using the didChange.send function. Our Views then update accordingly.

The ObjectBinding property wrapper allows us to subscribe to User models. We pass the User from the parent component (in this case, our PreviewProvider)

import SwiftUI
import Combine

class UserStore : BindableObject {
    var didChange = PassthroughSubject<UserStore, Never>()
    var visible = false { didSet { didChange.send(self)  }}
    var name: String { didSet { didChange.send(self) }}

    init(name: String) {
        self.name = name
    }

    func formalName () {
        name = "Benjamin"
    }
}

struct App : View {

    @ObjectBinding var profile: UserStore

    var body : some View {
        VStack {
            Button(action: profile.formalName) {
                Text("Hello \(self.profile.name)")
            }
            Toggle(isOn: $profile.visible) {
                Text("Toggle visibility")
            }
        }
    }
}

#if DEBUG
struct App_Previews : PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        App(profile: UserStore(name: "Ben"))
    }
}
