Swift UI TabView selection binding strange behaviour ?
Hello, can someone please explain to me how does SwiftUI TabView works "under the hood" , I don't understand why do all views in TabView get reinitialized each time I switch between tabs. Xcode Version 15.3, iOS 16+ Below is the code snippet : struct ScreenOne: View { init() { print("ScreenOne init called !") } var body: some View { Text("This is screen one!") } } struct ScreenTwo: View { init() { print("ScreenTwo init called !") } var body: some View { Text("This is screen two !") } } struct TabViewTest: View { @State var selectedIndex: Int = 1 var body: some View { TabView(selection: $selectedIndex) { ScreenOne() .tag(1) .tabItem { Text("Item 1") } ScreenTwo() .tag(2) .tabItem { Text("Item 2") } } // .onChange(of: selectedIndex) { oldValue, newValue in // // } // NOTE: When code above is uncommented // Screen one & Screen two initializers get called // each time switch to different tab occurs } } Snippet output with the commented out code : App loads Both print statements get called -> "ScreenOne init called ! & "ScreenTwo init called ! Switch between taps Nothing happens Snippet output with the uncommented code : App loads Both print statements get called -> ScreenOne init called ! & ScreenTwo init called ! Switch between taps Both print statements get called -> ScreenOne init called ! & ScreenTwo init called ! @eskimo heeelp :) Thanks in advance !
