How can I handle default values with images for an optional String property in a Swift struct?

I’m working with an optional struct in Swift, where the default value is expected to be a string. However, I’d like to handle a scenario where the default value can also be an image. Here’s the code I’m using:

Text(quotes.quote ?? Image(systemName: "circle.dashed") )

Can someone please guide me on how to convert this image fallback into a string when quotes.quote is nil?

My expectation was to set a default value for Text as a string, and if quotes.quote is nil, I wanted to use an image (in this case, "circle.dashed") as the fallback.

>Solution :

If you’d like to write it with a ternary operator, a single expression must return single type, so you would have to write:

quotes.quote != nil ? AnyView(Text(quotes.quote!)) : AnyView(Image(systemName: "circle.dashed"))

However, this is a bit hard on the eye, and I’d like to avoid the force-unwrap:

if let quote = quotes.quote {
    Text(quote)
} else {
    Image(systemName: "circle.dashed")
}
