Create your first app with SwiftUI and SwiftData

December 22nd is my birthday, and as usual I'll be live-streaming building a complete SwiftUI project from scratch to help raise money for folks who are experiencing homelessness. Come along to learn lots of Swift, SwiftUI, and SwiftData, get your questions answered, and also contribute to a great cause.

Paul, I’m obviously watching this months later, but I donated to this worthy cause. Thanks for your support of those in need.

Happy birthday, Paul! Thanks for all the good things you do and for bringing the fun to func 😊

Thanks Paul, have watched this live from the start, great livestream, thanks again!

This video helped explain SwiftData well. Thanks so very much. Now I've got to go switch from passing the model context to my data service where I did update on the main thread, to sharing the container instead.

Hello. Your content is very valuable to me and I want to follow it constantly. I would appreciate it if you had the chance to set the videos with subtitles. Because I am Turkish, my English is not very good. I would like to watch the video with subtitles and benefit from your information. Thank you again for sharing your valuable information with us.

I can't believe that. I shipped an app only by watching this video!

As usual, great walkthrough of some complex topics. Much appreciated.

Thanks Paul. Could you also make a video SwiftData with MVVM, Restful API and Network Monitor (Online/Offline) when it saves data before offline? Please 🙏

Hi Paul, great video! 

Is there a way to construct more complex #predicates?
In a CoreData app I used CompoundPredicate to construct a NSPredicate from a view, that allowed a user to compose a query.
Is there a way in SwiftData to do something similar?

This was very informative. would there be a similar way to bring in Pdfs stored in Books app much like you did for photos? im trying to link to a stored pdf

Regards

You are the best. Could you also make a video SwiftData with MVVM architecture?

Hi Paul,

I have one question about sortDescriptor. It is possible add in one menu inside the toolbar, insert a tag for bool value?. Because i have the bool value in my model class. Ps: sorry for my english

[typicaltype]

does anyone know how you would load multiple images into swift data?

[stephen]

Paul, great tutorial - but question (for anyone :-) ). In another very similar tutorial, you sugegsted using a function for deleting destinations using _ indexSet: IndexSet whilst here you use at offsets: IndexSet. What was your rationale for the different functions for what seems very similar tutorials? Cheers!

@twostraws One thing I noticed is after creating either a Person or Event with a blank name property since they are already created they persist after pressing the "Back" button and can be hard to delete. I am searching for a way to automatically delete objects with blank values (like in Apple's Notes app when a note has no value it gets deleted), but yet to find a solution. Is there an elegant solution to do this?

[earu]

can i persist swift. data with a firebase backend?

[johnchavez]

If I tap to add a new person or location and don’t enter anything the app saves the new blank location or person. Is there a way to prevent that?
