Just Scratching the Surface
SwiftData has introduced a much simpler way to persist your data in your Swift apps. Thanks to Swift macros, you can instantly make your models, in code, SwiftData ready and configure them to your liking. With a new modifier, you can access the context, and with the new @Query property wrapper, you can easily perform queries. Oh, did I mention that the @Query property wrapper is all set up for Observation, so your user interface stays up to date with the database? There’s a lot packed into a little bit of configurable syntax under the hood. Keep an eye out here at Kodeco for more on one of the biggest changes to come out of WWDC 2023!
