It seems like you're interested in creating a custom data store, possibly for something like a cookie store, using SwiftData. At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced the concept of custom data stores in SwiftData, which allows developers to use any document, file format, or persistence backend of their choice. This feature is particularly useful for integrating SwiftData with existing systems or for using specific storage formats like JSON.
For more detailed guidance on creating a custom data store, you can refer to the session titled "Create a custom data store with SwiftData." This session covers the essentials of implementing a custom datastore, including how to use the new Datastore protocol to build a store that can read and write data in any format you choose.
If you're interested in the specific implementation details, you might want to check out the Example store chapter of the session "Create a custom data store with SwiftData" (07:42). This part of the session provides a practical example of implementing a store using a JSON file for persistence.
