Deleting an item from a list based on the element UUID - macos

Question

I feel a bit embarrassed for asking this, but after more than a day trying I'm stuck. I've had a few changes on the code based on replies to other issues. The latest code essentially selects the items on a list based on the UUID.
This has caused my delete function to stop working since I was working with passing an Int as the selected element to be deleted. I was originally implementing things like this.
Code follows, I'm still trying to figure out my way around SwiftUI, but question is, how can I now delete items on a list (and on the array behind it) based on a UUID as opposed to the usual selected item.
In case it makes a difference, this is for macOS Big Sur.
Code:
struct NoteItem: Codable, Hashable, Identifiable {
let id: Int
var text: String
var date = Date()
var dateText: String {
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "EEEE, MMM d yyyy, h:mm a"
return dateFormatter.string(from: date)
}
var tags: [String] = []
}
struct AllNotes: View {
#EnvironmentObject private var data: DataModel
#State var noteText: String = ""
#State var selectedNoteId: UUID?
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List(data.notes) { note in
NavigationLink(
destination: NoteView(note: note),
tag: note.id,
selection: $selectedNoteId
) {
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
Text(note.text.components(separatedBy: NSCharacterSet.newlines).first!)
Text(note.dateText).font(.body).fontWeight(.light)
}
.padding(.vertical, 8)
}
}
.listStyle(InsetListStyle())
}
.navigationTitle("A title")
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .navigation) {
Button(action: {
data.notes.append(NoteItem(id: UUID(), text: "New Note", date: Date(), tags: []))
}) {
Image(systemName: "square.and.pencil")
}
}
ToolbarItem(placement: .automatic) {
Button(action: {
// Delete here????
}) {
Image(systemName: "trash")
}
}
}
.onAppear {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
selectedNoteId = data.notes.first?.id
}
}
.onChange(of: data.notes) { notes in
if selectedNoteId == nil || !notes.contains(where: { $0.id == selectedNoteId }) {
selectedNoteId = data.notes.first?.id
}
}
}
}
The original removeNote I had is the following:
func removeNote() {
if let selection = self.selectedItem,
let selectionIndex = data.notes.firstIndex(of: selection) {
print("delete item: \(selectionIndex)")
data.notes.remove(at: selectionIndex)
}
}

could you try this:
struct NoteItem: Codable, Hashable, Identifiable {
let id: UUID // <--- here
var text: String
var date = Date()
var dateText: String = ""
var tags: [String] = []
}
func removeNote() {
if let selection = selectedNoteId,
let selectionIndex = data.notes.firstIndex(where: { $0.id == selection }) {
print("delete item: \(selectionIndex)")
data.notes.remove(at: selectionIndex)
}
}
