Advanced Data Management in SwiftData & SwiftUI

About Advanced Data Management in SwiftData & SwiftUI

Apple introduced SwiftData in WWDC 23. Similar to SwiftUI, SwiftData takes declarative approach. SwiftData makes data persistence easy by letting us model and manage data using declarative code eliminating the need of using model schema design files and bringing in the querying and filtering of data purely in Swift code. SwiftData is designed to work with both UIKit and SwiftUI and it seamlessly integrate with SwiftUI. SwiftData is built on the top of Core Data but it brings modern approach to the data persistence by providing native APIs written in Swift language. SwiftData uses macros to generate code. Macros are another powerful feature introduced in WWDC 23 and they are used to generate fast, efficient and safe code. SwiftData relies on several foundational components for its operation, and we will explore how these building blocks work together to provide a comprehensive solution for data persistence in a straightforward manner.

SwiftData automatically builds a schema using our models and maps their fields efficiently to the underlying storage. Objects managed by SwiftData are fetched from the database when needed and automatically saved at the right moment, with no additional work on our part.

This course is designed to not only teach you SwiftData & SwiftUI but to build advanced features in SwiftData backed apps. Join us in this course and learn to build real app while exploring SwiftData and SwiftUI.
