My goal is to code an app for couples so they can ask questions to each other. I’m stuck because I can’t seem to randomize the data.
I want the data to be randomize every time I click the button.
Here is my JSON data:
[
{
"questionNumber": 0,
"question": "Do you have any dreams of achieving something together in the future?"
},
{
"questionNumber": 1,
"question": "How do you handle stress and difficulties as a couple?"
},
{
"questionNumber": 2,
"question": "What is your favorite shared travel memory?"
}
]
Here is my JSONManager
:
import Foundation
struct QuestionJSON: Codable {
var questionNumber: Int
var question: String
}
extension Bundle {
func decode<T: Decodable>(_ type: T.Type, from file: String, dateDecodingStrategy: JSONDecoder.DateDecodingStrategy = .deferredToDate, keyDecodingStrategy: JSONDecoder.KeyDecodingStrategy = .useDefaultKeys) -> T {
guard let url = self.url(forResource: file, withExtension: nil) else {
fatalError("Failed to locate (file) in bundle.")
}
guard let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url) else {
fatalError("Failed to load (file) from bundle.")
}
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
decoder.dateDecodingStrategy = dateDecodingStrategy
decoder.keyDecodingStrategy = keyDecodingStrategy
do {
return try decoder.decode(T.self, from: data)
} catch DecodingError.keyNotFound(let key, let context) {
fatalError("Failed to decode (file) from bundle due to missing key '(key.stringValue)' not found – (context.debugDescription)")
} catch DecodingError.typeMismatch(_, let context) {
fatalError("Failed to decode (file) from bundle due to type mismatch – (context.debugDescription)")
} catch DecodingError.valueNotFound(let type, let context) {
fatalError("Failed to decode (file) from bundle due to missing (type) value – (context.debugDescription)")
} catch DecodingError.dataCorrupted(_) {
fatalError("Failed to decode (file) from bundle because it appears to be invalid JSON")
} catch {
fatalError("Failed to decode (file) from bundle: (error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
}
Here is the code where the error shows up:
struct test : View {
@State private var question : QuestionJSON?
var body: some View {
VStack {
if let question = question {
VStack {
Text(String(question.questionNumber))
.font(.system(.title3))
.foregroundColor(.white)
}.frame(width: 240)
.background(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 7.0).fill(Color.blue))
}
}.onAppear {
let questions = Bundle.main.decode(QuestionJSON.self, from: "data.json")
question = questions.randomElement()
}
}
}
Here is error when I can’t randomize my questions:
As I said, my goal is to create the button and every time I click it, the question changes.

i forgot to put QuestionJSON in those brackets []
This line is incorrect:
This decodes exactly one QuestionJSON. You have an array of them, so you meant:
