Simple problem with .disable

I’m fairly new to Swift and SwiftUI but the following code seems pretty straightforward. I’ve stripped it down to a really simple example.

I’m trying to use .disabled to enable/disable a button based on the contents of a text field. I’ve got two examples in the code snippet - the first uses a String variable and works fine. As soon as I type something, the button enables. The second example is identical except that it uses a String inside a Class. Doesn’t matter what I type, button never enables.

I’ve tried it with and without the ObservableObject and @Published declarations.

Using Xcode 11.2.

Any thoughts would be welcome

class User: ObservableObject {
@Published var name: String

init() {
    name = ""
}

}

struct ContentView: View {
@State var user = User()
@State var username = “”

var body: some View {
    VStack {
        TextField("New Name", text: $username)
        Button(action: {print(self.username)}) {Text("String")}.disabled(self.username.count <= 2)
    
        TextField("New Name", text: $user.name)
        Button(action: {print(self.user.name)}) {Text("User Class")}.disabled(self.user.name.count <= 2)
    }
}

}

@mseriff Do you still have issues with this?

Hi @mseriff,
You are using a @State object for an ObservableObject, you need to instead use an @ObservedObject

cheers,
