## Resource

This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/swiftuis-state-is-now-a-macro-what-it-means-for-you . SwiftUI’s @State is now exposed as a macro. Learn what changed, how lazy initialization works, and how to use @State with @Observable models. Check more stories related to programming at: https://hackernoon.com/c/programming .

TL;DR: SwiftUI’s `@State` is now exposed as a macro, but everyday usage stays almost the same. The biggest practical change is lazy initialization: class instances stored in `@State`, such as `@Observable` view models, are created once for the lifetime of the view’s state storage instead of being re-created whenever the view struct is rebuilt.
