ObservedOptionalObject

Swift

Rationale

SwiftUIs @ObservedObject requires that the observed object actually exists. In some cases it's convenient to observe an object which might be nil. In this case, @ObservedOptionalObject can be used.

struct SomeView: View {
    // Instead of
    @ObservedObject var anObject: Model? // Won't work
    
    // use
    @ObservedOptionalObject var anObject: Model?
    
    var body: some View {
        HStack {
            Text("Name")
            if let name = anObject?.name {
                Text(name)
            }
        }
    }
}

Please note, that @ObservedOptionalObject is only useful if your contains content that should be displayed, even when the object is nil. Otherwise the view should be contained within an if let statement: if let obj = obj { SomeView(anObject: obj) }
