In truth, I do not fully understand JSON Files and I am new to Swift. I am trying to be a bit too clever and build my menu from a JSON file. [ { "description": "Readings Entry", "target": "ReadingsEntry", "icon": "barometer", }, { "description": "Readings Entry", "target": "ReadingsView()", "icon": "tablecells.badge.ellipsis", }, { "description": "Food Diary", "target": "FoodDiary()", "icon": "fork.knife.circle", }, { "description": "Readings Entry", "target": "Settings()", "icon": "gearshape", } ] Because I don't know any better I have stored the destination view (target) as a String in the "struct" that I have constructed to import the JSON data. import SwiftUI struct dcMenu: Codable, Identifiable { enum CodingKeys: CodingKey { case description case target case icon } var id = UUID() var description: String var target: String var icon: String } class ReadData: ObservableObject { @Published var lineText = [dcMenu]() init(){ loadData() } func loadData() { guard let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "menu", withExtension: "json") else { print("Json file not found") return } let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url) let lineText = try? JSONDecoder().decode([dcMenu].self, from: data!) self.lineText = lineText! } } But the issue this leaves me with is when I come to construct the actual menu, How do I use the string "target" as the "destination" of the navigation link? struct ContentView: View { @ObservedObject var menuLines = ReadData() var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { . . . List(menuLines.lineText) { lines in NavigationLink(destination: lines.target){ Image(systemName: lines.icon) Text(lines.description) } } . . . .navigationSplitViewColumnWidth(min: 75, ideal: 100) } detail: { . . . } .navigationTitle("Diabetes Control") } }

Perhaps I should not be asking this here, but can anyone recommend a good learning resource/tutorial for a complete beginner for SwiftData and CloudKit?
