Changing color of UI with onTapGesture - ios

Question

I've been trying to find a way to change the color of every flashcard in my app. I am struggling with understanding how to use #Binding, which I believe is the best solution. I ended up creating static variables in my Card struct, which allows me to change the card colors via onTapGesture actions. It seems very slow and I know there has to be a better way to accomplish this. Below is my code. The action for changing the color is inside the Circle() in ContentView. Thank you in advance. Also could someone please tell me how to resize screenshots to post in here? The solutions online make my screenshots super blurry so I hate uploading them

ZStack {
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 25, style: .continuous)

Answer 1

binding is a possible way to change colors, but I prefer the use of ObservableObject
to manage the set of Cards and their color selection.
The code in my answer shows how to use a ObservableObject CardManager to change all cards color
resulting from your selection in Circle.
// manages the cards and all cards color selection
class CardManager: ObservableObject {
let gradCs = [[Color(#colorLiteral(red: 0.6039215922355652, green: 0.49803921580314636, blue: 1, alpha: 1)), Color(#colorLiteral(red: 1, green: 0.49803924560546875, blue: 1, alpha: 1))], [Color(#colorLiteral(red: 0.6039215922355652, green: 1, blue: 1, alpha: 1)), Color(#colorLiteral(red: 0.6039215922355652, green: 0.49803921580314636, blue: 1, alpha: 1))]]
#Published var cards = [Card]()
#Published var selec = 0
func getColorSet() -> [Color] {
return gradCs[selec]
}
}
