The @Binding property wrapper
Two way binding
Although I’ve labeled this article as beginner, I’ve noticed that my previous article about property wrappers just didn’t make it seem so. So I think it really asks for a new article about the @Binding property wrapper.
The image? Books are bound, things are bound together. I guess that is the root of the meaning of @Binding, bit we will get there in this article if you just read on!
