Can't convert String to Int in @AppStorage

Question

I want to convert all @AppStorage's to Int(or even to Float) value and after that multiply it. Or probably i should to convert salaryPh and hoursPm to Int values, but i also can't do it. I've tried to create function where i could change String to Int but it didn't help me

I think that i'm doing something wrong, tried to find the solution with same question and found only one, but it didn't help me(link)

@loremipsum If i change it to State private var salaryPh = Int(), then i get an errors in TextField(where $salaryPh - Cannot convert value of type 'Binding' to expected argument type 'Binding'), in .onChange (salaryPh - Cannot assign value of type 'Int' to type 'String'). It happens also for hoursPm. If i change it to AppStorage("SALARY_KEY") var savedSalary = Int() and the other code don't change at all(like in my question) then i get an error here self.savedSalary = salaryPh(Cannot assign value of type 'String' to type 'Int') — Deniss, Feb 08 '23 at 15:52
Use Textfield with “value” instead of “text” as the argument. Then you can specify “.number” for the format — lorem ipsum, Feb 08 '23 at 15:53

Does this answer your question? [SwiftUI unable to convert string from Appstorage into Int. Also while updating the second view it is creating a new view after every every keystroke](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67809798/swiftui-unable-to-convert-string-from-appstorage-into-int-also-while-updating-t) — Wolfgang Wilke, Feb 08 '23 at 16:21
@popeinvestor no, probably not, i've tried to work with .self like in this post, but there was too errors, therefore i decided to create this post. Also i did like lorem ipsum said and now it works, thanks. — Deniss, Feb 08 '23 at 16:26

You can get rid of all the conversion by using TextField with value.

    TextField(
        "Double",
        value: $myDouble,
        format: .number
    )

This setup will work with Int too.

Once the TextField is compatible with numbers you can switch all the Strings to be the correct number type.

@Deniss the same way, `.number` is for all numbers, just type the variables in `@State` and `@AppStorage` – lorem ipsum Feb 08 '23 at 17:26
Yep, i did it with double. I'm trying to get value with 2 or 3 decimal numbers in the end and the 3 hours after i didn't found any solution, tried to do it with round, ceil. Want to multiply salaryPh and hoursPm. For example in salaryPh user write 10.56 and in hoursPm 2, i want to get 21.12. How to do it? – Deniss Feb 08 '23 at 19:14
@Deniss that is a separate question, if this one was answered please click on the green checkmark. you can try `.number.precision(.fractionLength(2))` to limit the `format` in the `TextField` – lorem ipsum Feb 08 '23 at 19:19
