Trying to load an image after the view loads, the model object driving the view (see MovieDetail below) has a urlString.  Because a SwiftUI `View` element has no life cycle methods (and there&#39;s not a view controller driving things) what is the best way to handle this?

The main issue I&#39;m having is no matter which way I try to solve the problem (Binding an object or using a State variable), my View doesn&#39;t have the `urlString` until after it loads...

```swift
// movie object
struct Movie: Decodable, Identifiable {
    
    let id: String
    let title: String
    let year: String
    let type: String
    var posterUrl: String
    
    private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case id = &quot;imdbID&quot;
        case title = &quot;Title&quot;
        case year = &quot;Year&quot;
        case type = &quot;Type&quot;
        case posterUrl = &quot;Poster&quot;
    }
}
```

```swift
// root content list view that navigates to the detail view
struct ContentView : View {
    
    var movies: [Movie]
    
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            List(movies) { movie in
                NavigationButton(destination: MovieDetail(movie: movie)) {
                    MovieRow(movie: movie)
                }
            }
            .navigationBarTitle(Text(&quot;Star Wars Movies&quot;))
        }
    }
}
```

```swift
// detail view that needs to make the asynchronous call
struct MovieDetail : View {
    
    let movie: Movie
    @State var imageObject = BoundImageObject()
    
    var body: some View {
        HStack(alignment: .top) {
            VStack {
                Image(uiImage: imageObject.image)
                    .scaledToFit()
                
                Text(movie.title)
                    .font(.subheadline)
            }
        }
    }
}
```

Thanks in advance.
