# SwiftUI Picker with Optional Binding

Let's say you have a `Picker` in SwiftUI and want the ability to set its value to `nil`. In order for the optional binding to work correctly, you can `tag` each item with the value casted as the optional type.

```swift
struct ContentView: View {
    @State var selection: String?

    var body: some View {
        Picker("Select:", selection: $selection) {
            Text("None").tag(nil as String?)
            Divider()
            Text("Red").tag("R" as String?)
            Text("Green").tag("G" as String?)
            Text("Blue").tag("B" as String?)
        }
    }
}
```

This is great for things like user preferences, which we use it extensively in all of our [apps at Neat Software](https://neat.software/apps).
