Does Binding prevent completely redrawing the view

In the session titled "SwiftUI essentials" from WWDC 2024, it is explained that a Binding in SwiftUI creates a two-way reference to the state of another view. This allows for synchronization between views, ensuring that when one view updates its state, other views that are bound to this state also update accordingly. However, the use of Binding itself does not prevent a view from being completely redrawn. Instead, it ensures that the state changes are propagated correctly across views that share the same state.

When a state change occurs, SwiftUI will call the body of the view again to reflect the new state, which can result in the view being redrawn. The key benefit of using Binding is maintaining a single source of truth and ensuring that all dependent views are updated in sync.

For more details, you can refer to the SwiftUI essentials session.
