So I created a program without selecting “use core data” and realized after trying to make a persistence data storage that it helps very much so I created a new program and selected it this time and copied everything over. It provided a file called “Persistence” and the contentView file had a bunch of stuff already filled in (Also something called the title of the program). I have the data I need saved to the persistent data storage narrowed down to a singular array, but none of the videos I found online showed this version of xcode that supplied a “Persistence” file when using core data so I’m unsure how to use it. I will provide the contentView and Persistence file for context. The array I need saved is called mainList in contentView.
ContentView:
import SwiftUI
import CoreData
struct ContentView: View {
var mainList = [RecipeList(),RecipeList(),RecipeList(),RecipeList(),RecipeList()]
@Environment(\.managedObjectContext) private var viewContext
@FetchRequest(
sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor(keyPath: \Item.timestamp, ascending: true)],
animation: .default)
private var items: FetchedResults<Item>
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List {
ForEach(items) { item in
NavigationLink {
Text("Item at \(item.timestamp!, formatter: itemFormatter)")
} label: {
Text(item.timestamp!, formatter: itemFormatter)
}
}
.onDelete(perform: deleteItems)
}
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) {
EditButton()
}
ToolbarItem {
Button(action: addItem) {
Label("Add Item", systemImage: "plus")
}
}
}
Text("Select an item")
}
}
private func addItem() {
withAnimation {
let newItem = Item(context: viewContext)
newItem.timestamp = Date()
do {
try viewContext.save()
} catch {
// Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
// fatalError() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
let nsError = error as NSError
fatalError("Unresolved error \(nsError), \(nsError.userInfo)")
}
}
}
private func deleteItems(offsets: IndexSet) {
withAnimation {
offsets.map { items[$0] }.forEach(viewContext.delete)
do {
try viewContext.save()
} catch {
// Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
// fatalError() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
let nsError = error as NSError
fatalError("Unresolved error \(nsError), \(nsError.userInfo)")
}
}
}
}
private let itemFormatter: DateFormatter = {
let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.dateStyle = .short
formatter.timeStyle = .medium
return formatter
}()
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView().environment(\.managedObjectContext, PersistenceController.preview.container.viewContext)
}
}
Persistence:
import CoreData
struct PersistenceController {
static let shared = PersistenceController()
static var preview: PersistenceController = {
let result = PersistenceController(inMemory: true)
let viewContext = result.container.viewContext
for _ in 0..<10 {
let newItem = Item(context: viewContext)
newItem.timestamp = Date()
}
do {
try viewContext.save()
} catch {
// Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
// fatalError() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
let nsError = error as NSError
fatalError("Unresolved error \(nsError), \(nsError.userInfo)")
}
return result
}()
let container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer
init(inMemory: Bool = false) {
container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "ReciStorage")
if inMemory {
container.persistentStoreDescriptions.first!.url = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/dev/null")
}
container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (storeDescription, error) in
if let error = error as NSError? {
// Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
// fatalError() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
/*
Typical reasons for an error here include:
* The parent directory does not exist, cannot be created, or disallows writing.
* The persistent store is not accessible, due to permissions or data protection when the device is locked.
* The device is out of space.
* The store could not be migrated to the current model version.
Check the error message to determine what the actual problem was.
*/
fatalError("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
}
})
container.viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true
}
}
Image showing the thing named the title of the program that I’m certain is relevant to the persisting data storage:
Also I’m unsure what I need to replace those comments with and what subclasses I should add to existing swift files like “codable” for example.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
