In the last two years, several view modifiers related to SwiftData have been introduced. Here are some notable ones:

  1. Index Macro: This modifier helps make your queries more efficient by indicating which properties are commonly queried together, allowing them to be stored and retrieved quickly.
  2. Unique Macro: This modifier ensures that a set of properties can have no duplicate entries, helping to maintain data integrity.
  3. Previewable Macro: This modifier works well with SwiftData, making it easier to work with your queries while iterating on views.
