I am currently trying to pass the currently selected picker tab/tabview and then pass it to a class in order to change a variable based on the said tab.

The relevant parts of my code are here. Each of the tabs go to a separate view

struct ContentView: View {
    
    
    @State var selectedRoute: Tabs = .firstTab
    
    
    
    var body: some View {
        
        
        
        VStack{
            
            Picker("", selection: $selectedRoute){
                
                Text("Red").tag(Tabs.firstTab)
                Text("Green").tag(Tabs.secondTab)
                Text("Blue 1").tag(Tabs.thirdTab)
                Text("Blue 2").tag(Tabs.fourthTab)
                Text("Wings").tag(Tabs.fifthTab)
            }.pickerStyle(SegmentedPickerStyle())
            switch selectedRoute{
                
            case .firstTab: FirstTabView()
            case .secondTab: SecondTabView()
            case .thirdTab: ThirdTabView()
            case .fourthTab: FourthTabView()
            case .fifthTab: FifthTabView()
            }
            
        }
    }
    
}

enum Tabs: String, CaseIterable, Identifiable{
    
    case firstTab, secondTab, thirdTab, fourthTab, fifthTab
    var id: Self { self }
}

class ContentModel: ObservableObject {
    
    @Published var records = [Record]()

    @State var routeString: String = "red"
    
    @State var sRoute = ContentView().selectedRoute
    

    init() {
        getData()
    }
    
    func getData(){
        
        if sRoute == Tabs.firstTab{
            routeString = "Red"
        }else if sRoute == Tabs.secondTab{
            routeString = "Green"
        }else if ContentView().selectedRoute == Tabs.thirdTab{
            routeString = "Blue"
        }else if ContentView().selectedRoute == Tabs.fourthTab{
            routeString = "Purple"
        }else if ContentView().selectedRoute == Tabs.fifthTab{
            routeString = "Yellow"
        }else{
            routeString = ""
        }
....
}

I want to get the currently selected tab into the contentmodel class so I can make a dynamic url string that changes based on said tabs. I have tried various different things such as the above state vars and the if/else-if statements, but I’ve found the issue is stemming from the @state var in the contentview struct never changing even when changing tabs. Is the some sort of listener I need to implement or like an .onChange(etc)?

P.S. I have seen other articles relating to this that uses a foreach loop inside of a picker, but with how I have my contentview set up I feel like I would have to change a lot of code. I could be overthinking that issue though. ex: How to assign a value selected from a Picker to a variable in another class?
