I have a view model, that has a network service that returns us a Combine publisher. The VM reacts to this publisher by updating its state. And the UIViewController would then update based on the VM state change. This was the setup for UIKit.

Now I am introducing SwiftUI views. I am new to swift UI and not sure how to use the VM's state publisher in SwiftUI. The VM's state is a CurrentValueSubject right now.

Thanks in advance.

• In SwiftUI the View structs are view models so just make a View struct with the data from combine and set it as the rootView anytime it changes – malhal Commented Nov 20, 2024 at 8:52

SwiftUI uses the @StateObject or @ObservedObject property wrapper to observe changes in the ViewModel. To enable this, conform your ViewModel to ObservableObject and use a @Published property to represent the state.

Since you already have a CurrentValueSubject in your ViewModel, you can connect it to a @Published property.
