Deletable Table with TextField on SwiftUI

Problem

In order to implement editable teble with TextField on SwiftUI, I used ForEach(0..<items.count) to handle index.

import SwiftUI

struct DummyView: View {
    @State var animals: [String] = ["šŸ¶", "šŸ±"]

    var body: some View {
        List {
            EditButton()
            ForEach(0..<animals.count) { i in
                TextField("", text: self.$animals[i])
            }
        }
    }
}

However, problems arise if the table is changed to be deleteable.

import SwiftUI

struct DummyView: View {
    @State var animals: [String] = ["šŸ¶", "šŸ±"]

    var body: some View {
        List {
            EditButton()
            ForEach(0..<animals.count) { i in
                TextField("", text: self.$animals[i]) // Thread 1: Fatal error: Index out of range
            }
            .onDelete { indexSet in
                self.animals.remove(atOffsets: indexSet) // Delete "šŸ¶" from animals
            }
        }
    }
}

Thread 1: Fatal error: Index out of range when delete item

šŸ¶ has been removed from animals and the ForEach loop seems to be running twice, even though animals.count is 1.

(lldb) po animals.count
1

(lldb) po animals
ā–æ 1 element
  - 0 : "šŸ±"

Please give me advice on the combination of Foreach and TextField.
Thanks.

Ok, the reason is in documentation for used ForEach constructor (as you see range is constant, so ForEach grabs initial range and holds it):

/// Creates an instance that computes views on demand over a *constant*
/// range.
///
/// This instance only reads the initial value of `data` and so it does not
/// need to identify views across updates.
///
/// To compute views on demand over a dynamic range use
/// `ForEach(_:id:content:)`.
public init(_ data: Range<Int>, @ViewBuilder content: @escaping (Int) -> Content)

So the solution would be to provide dynamic container. Below you can find a demo of possible approach.

Full module code

import SwiftUI

struct DummyView: View {
    @State var animals: [String] = ["šŸ¶", "šŸ±"]

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            HStack {
                EditButton()
                Button(action: { self.animals.append("Animal \(self.animals.count + 1)") }, label: {Text("Add")})
            }
            List {
                ForEach(animals, id: \.self) { item in
                    EditorView(container: self.$animals, index: self.animals.firstIndex(of: item)!, text: item)
                }
                .onDelete { indexSet in
                    self.animals.remove(atOffsets: indexSet) // Delete "šŸ¶" from animals
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

struct EditorView : View {
    var container: Binding<[String]>
    var index: Int

    @State var text: String

    var body: some View {
        TextField("", text: self.$text, onCommit: {
            self.container.wrappedValue[self.index] = self.text
        })
    }
}
