To create a subclass model in SwiftData, you can start by using the model macro to define your schema. This is a lightweight API that allows you to define your schema with just a few additions to a normal Swift class. Here's a brief overview of the process:
-
Apply the Model Macro: Begin by applying the model macro to your class. This is the fundamental step to make your class a part of the SwiftData model.
-
Define Attributes and Relationships: You can further refine your model by using the attribute macro to specify behaviors on properties and the relationship macro to describe how models relate to one another.
-
Use Index and Unique Macros: To optimize your queries, you can use the index macro to make queries more efficient and the unique macro to ensure that a set of properties has no duplicate entries.
-
Customize the Schema: You can also use the new schema macro to construct compound constraints on persistent models.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session What’s new in SwiftData (02:11) which covers customizing the schema and using macros in SwiftData.
