To use the managedObjectContext property of an NSManagedObject, you can follow the principles outlined in the sessions from WWDC 2024. Here are some key points:

  1. Model Context: The model context reads and writes data using a store in a model container. It tracks changes to your models and saves them to the store when needed. For example, if you make changes to your data, such as adding or deleting items, these changes are tracked by the model context and saved to the store (Create a custom data store with SwiftData).

  2. History Tracking: SwiftData provides a history API that allows you to track changes over time. This can be useful for features like syncing changes with a remote server or reflecting changes in different parts of your app, such as a widget extension (Track model changes with SwiftData history).

  3. Custom Data Stores: You can create custom data stores that use their own implementation to persist data. This allows you to use SwiftData APIs with any storage format or persistence backend (Create a custom data store with SwiftData).

  4. Transactions and Changes: SwiftData history is composed of transactions and changes. Each transaction groups together all changes that occurred in the data store, and each change represents a model that has been inserted, updated, or deleted (Track model changes with SwiftData history).
