`Task` at `createSampleData` function in What's new in SwiftData session
I was looking to the example code that point from What's new in SwiftData session and noticed something that I cannot understand about Swift concurrency. from this snippet: static func createSampleData(into modelContext: ModelContext) { Task { @MainActor in let sampleDataTrips: [Trip] = Trip.previewTrips let sampleDataLA: [LivingAccommodation] = LivingAccommodation.preview let sampleDataBLT: [BucketListItem] = BucketListItem.previewBLTs let sampleData: [any PersistentModel] = sampleDataTrips + sampleDataLA + sampleDataBLT sampleData.forEach { modelContext.insert($0) } if let firstTrip = sampleDataTrips.first, let firstLivingAccommodation = sampleDataLA.first, let firstBucketListItem = sampleDataBLT.first { firstTrip.livingAccommodation = firstLivingAccommodation firstTrip.bucketList.append(firstBucketListItem) } if let lastTrip = sampleDataTrips.last, let lastBucketListItem = sampleDataBLT.last { lastTrip.bucketList.append(lastBucketListItem) } try? modelContext.save() } } From the code snippet, I cannot see any task that needs to be marked with await, and it is also marked as @MainActor. My question is: why do we need to put Task here? It seems like all the code will run on the main thread anyway. I am just afraid that I might be missing some concept of Swift concurrency or SwiftData here. Thank you
