How to use @Binding

To use @Binding in SwiftUI, you can follow these steps:

1. Define a State Property: In the parent view, define a state property that will hold the value you want to bind.

2. Pass the Binding: Pass a binding of this state property to the child view.

3. Use the Binding: In the child view, use the @Binding property wrapper to create a two-way reference to the state property in the parent view.

Here's a simple example to illustrate:

Parent View

import SwiftUI

struct ParentView: View {
    @State private var rating: Int = 0

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("Rating: \(rating)")
            RatingView(rating: $rating)
        }
    }
}

Child View

import SwiftUI

struct RatingView: View {
    @Binding var rating: Int

    var body: some View {
        HStack {
            Button(action: {
                rating -= 1
            }) {
                Text("-")
            }
            Text("\(rating)")
            Button(action: {
                rating += 1
            }) {
                Text("+")
            }
        }
    }
}

In this example:

• The ParentView has a state property rating.
• The RatingView receives a binding to this state property via $rating.
• The RatingView can then read and modify the rating value, and these changes will be reflected in the ParentView.
