How to get Current Location using SwiftUI, without ViewControllers?

You could create a StateObject of your LocationManager by implementing the ObservableObject protocol.

With the @Published attribute you can create a publisher object which notify the observers (your view, in this case) when something changes inside that object.

That’s why in my LocationManager I added the @Published attribute to those var:

1. locationStatus: CLAuthorizationStatus? it contains the value received from didChangeAuthorization delegate method
2. lastLocation: CLLocation? it contains the last location calculated by the didUpdateLocations delegate method

LocationManager

import Foundation
import CoreLocation
import Combine

class LocationManager: NSObject, ObservableObject, CLLocationManagerDelegate {

    private let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
    @Published var locationStatus: CLAuthorizationStatus?
    @Published var lastLocation: CLLocation?

    override init() {
        super.init()
        locationManager.delegate = self
        locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
        locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
        locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
    }

   
    
    var statusString: String {
        guard let status = locationStatus else {
            return "unknown"
        }
        
        switch status {
        case .notDetermined: return "notDetermined"
        case .authorizedWhenInUse: return "authorizedWhenInUse"
        case .authorizedAlways: return "authorizedAlways"
        case .restricted: return "restricted"
        case .denied: return "denied"
        default: return "unknown"
        }
    }

    func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorization status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
        locationStatus = status
        print(#function, statusString)
    }
    
    func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
        guard let location = locations.last else { return }
        lastLocation = location
        print(#function, location)
    }
}

View

In your view you need to create only an instance of LocationManager marked as @StateObject

import SwiftUI

struct MyView: View {
    
    @StateObject var locationManager = LocationManager()
    
    var userLatitude: String {
        return "\(locationManager.lastLocation?.coordinate.latitude ?? 0)"
    }
    
    var userLongitude: String {
        return "\(locationManager.lastLocation?.coordinate.longitude ?? 0)"
    }
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("location status: \(locationManager.statusString)")
            HStack {
                Text("latitude: \(userLatitude)")
                Text("longitude: \(userLongitude)")
            }
        }
    }
}

struct MyView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        MyView()
    }
}
