Discussion For example, consider the usage of this static member in ContactsListView: struct ContactsListView: View {     @ObservedObject private var viewModel = ContactsViewModel()

var body: some View {         NavigationStack {             CustomSearchBar(query: $viewModel.searchText)             List {                 ForEach(viewModel.searchResults) { contact in                     NavigationLink {                         ContactsView(contact)                     } label: {                         Text(contact.name)                     }                 }             }             .navigationTitle("Contacts")             .overlay {                 if viewModel.searchResults.isEmpty {                     ContentUnavailableView                         .search(text: viewModel.searchText)                 }             }         }     } }
