How to pass a string inside a class that is inside a struct?

Question

struct WebView: UIViewRepresentable {   
    @Binding var response: String
    
    func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView {
        let webConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
        let wkController = WKUserContentController()
        
        wkController.add(context.coordinator, name: "reCaptchaiOS")
        webConfiguration.userContentController = wkController
        .....
    }
 
    func updateUIView(_ webView: WKWebView, context: Context) {
        ....
        }
    }
    
    func makeCoordinator() -> ContentController {
        ContentController()// let handler be a coordinator
        }
    
    class ContentController: NSObject, WKScriptMessageHandler {
           .....
        var textResponse: String = ""
            func userContentController(_ userContentController: WKUserContentController,
                                       didReceive message: WKScriptMessage)  {
                if let args = message.body as? [String] {  
                    switch args[0] {         
               .....
                    case "didSolve":
                        self.captchaDidSolve(response: args[1])
                        textResponse = args[1]
                        break
                        
                  .....
                    default:
                        print("args[0]: \(args[0])")
                        break
                        
             ....
            }
                
        func captchaDidSolve(response: String) {
            print("response: \(response)")
            
        }

I need to pass the response that is inside the class ContentController to the response of the structure WebView to use it in a main contentView.

You can store a reference to WebView in ContentController and then access response of WebView in ContentController. For example:

struct WebView: UIViewRepresentable {
    @Binding var response: String
    
    func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView {
        let webConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
        let wkController = WKUserContentController()
        
        wkController.add(context.coordinator, name: "reCaptchaiOS")
        webConfiguration.userContentController = wkController
        // .....
    }
    
    func updateUIView(_ webView: WKWebView, context: Context) {
        // ....
    }
    
    func makeCoordinator() -> ContentController {
        ContentController(parent: self)// let handler be a coordinator
    }
}

    
class ContentController: NSObject, WKScriptMessageHandler {
    let parent: WebView
    
    init(parent: WebView) {
        self.parent = parent
    }
    
    // .....
    func userContentController(_ userContentController: WKUserContentController, didReceive message: WKScriptMessage)  {
        if let args = message.body as? [String] {
            switch args[0] {
                // .....
            case "didSolve":
                self.captchaDidSolve(response: args[1])
                break
                
                // .....
            default:
                print("args[0]: \(args[0])")
                break
                
                // ....
            }
        }
    }
    
    func captchaDidSolve(response: String) {
        parent.response = response
    }
}

Now that I think about it though, I don't know why parent is actually a reference when it's a struct. But it seems to work.

not work, because the component is WkWebview, I can't to webview — David Leyva Abrahantes, Jan 04 '23 at 18:18
I don't understand. Your outer struct is named WebView, which is where response is defined. What exaclty does not work? — Knufy Einundzwanzig, Jan 04 '23 at 18:27
Previous I have that code: let webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: webConfiguration) context.coordinator.parent = webView — David Leyva Abrahantes, Jan 04 '23 at 18:35
You don't need to set the parent. I already did this in `makeCoordinator()`. — Knufy Einundzwanzig, Jan 04 '23 at 18:40
