To let users share data in SwiftData, you can utilize the synchronization capabilities with CloudKit. SwiftData provides a framework that not only handles persistence but also includes features for modeling, migration, graph management, and synchronization. Here are the steps to get started:
-
Import the Framework: First, import the SwiftData framework into your project.
-
Define Your Models: Use the
@Modelmacro to define your data models. This macro is the powerhouse of SwiftData and helps in managing your data schema. -
Model Container: Use the
modelContainermodifier on yourWindowGroupto inform the entire view hierarchy about your model. This allows your views to fetch and display data using queries. -
Synchronization with CloudKit: SwiftData supports synchronization with CloudKit, which allows you to share data across different devices and users. You can configure your model container to sync with CloudKit.
For a detailed walkthrough, you can refer to the session What’s new in SwiftData.
