Swift get value data from protocol - ios

Question

i need help with my code for swift 5,
so i make a struct and protocol to store list from uitextfield and now i wanna show that data in a UiTextView in another view controller
struct PatientNote {
var note : String
init(note :String) {
self.note = note
}
}
protocol AddNotesDelegate {
func AddNotes(controller : UIViewController, notes: PatientNote)
}
class AddNotesController: UIViewController {
var delegate : AddNotesDelegate!
#IBOutlet weak var Notes: UITextView!
#IBAction func addNotes(_ sender: Any) {
if let notes = self.Notes.text {
let patientNote = PatientNote(note: notes)
self.delegate.AddNotes(controller: self, notes: patientNote)
print(patientNote.note)
}
}
}
and now i wanna show in my view controller but i get this error of "Cannot convert value of type 'PatientNote' to expected argument type 'String'" in this viewController
class NotePatientController: UIViewController, AddNotesDelegate{
func AddNotes(controller: UIViewController, notes: PatientNote) {
let NotesPatient = PatientNote(note: notes) *this is where i get the error
}
var delegate : AddNotesDelegate!
var pasien : PatientNote!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
PatientTextView.text = pasien.note
}
#IBOutlet weak var PatientTextView: UITextView!
//in this ibaction i edit the notes that i get from the first Vc which is AddNotesController
#IBAction func Save(_ sender: UIButton) {
if let notes = self.PatientTextView.text {
let pasienNotes = PatientNote(note: notes)
self.delegate.AddNotes(controller: self, notes: pasienNotes)
}
}
}
i try to show the note from the AddNotesController to the NotePatientController, and in the NotePatientController i can edit and save the notes in UiTextView.
so i know i must be using the protocol in a wrong way, can someone help me how should i use it? im still kinda new in swift so could probably use any help i can get, Cheer!

Answer 1

Change let notesPatient = PatientNote(note: notes) to let notesPatient = PatientNote(note: notes.note)

Answer 2

It appears PatientNote takes a String as an argument but you passed an already created PatientNote to it instead. The below syntax, using notes.note would be a cleaner solution without involving initialising a new PatientNote.
func AddNotes(controller: UIViewController, notes: PatientNote) {
print(notes.note) // access the note String like this
}
