To avoid your navigation in a bottom sheet being reset when Swift data values are updated, you can leverage the state-driven nature of SwiftUI. SwiftUI automatically updates the UI when the state changes, which can sometimes lead to navigation resets if not managed properly.

Here are some strategies you can consider:

  1. State Management: Ensure that your navigation state is managed separately from the data that is being updated. This can be done by using a separate state variable to track the navigation state.

  2. View Lifecycle: Utilize view lifecycle methods to reset or maintain state. For instance, you can use onAppear and onDisappear to manage state transitions effectively. As mentioned in the session Enhance your UI animations and transitions, you can reset state by using viewDidAppear or viewDidDisappear methods.

  3. SwiftUI's Functional Approach: Embrace SwiftUI's functional approach, which is generally better equipped to handle changes. This involves structuring your views and state in a way that naturally accommodates changes without requiring manual resets.

  4. Use of Identifiers: When dealing with lists or collections, ensure that you use stable identifiers for your data models. This helps SwiftUI understand which items have changed and which have not, reducing unnecessary resets.

By carefully managing your state and understanding how SwiftUI updates views, you can minimize the impact of data changes on your navigation. If you want to dive deeper into SwiftUI's state management and transitions, you might find the session SwiftUI essentials helpful.
