How to connect SwiftData to SwiftUI

Updated for Xcode 15

SwiftData was built with SwiftUI in mind, and it integrates tightly into SwiftUI views. This takes a number of forms:

1. The @Query macro queries SwiftData objects, and automatically stays updated as those objects change. This macro works only on SwiftUI views.
2. We can inject one or more SwiftData model contains directly into the environment using the modelContainer() modifier. This will create the database if it isn't there, or load an existing one that was created previously.
3. Although each SwiftUI view can have only one model container, we can attach different model containers to different views in our hierarchy.
4. We have a .modelContext environment key to read the main context, which automatically uses the main actor to make data manipulation safe from views. This is the same model context used by any @Query properties in that view.

We can put all the core components together in some sample code, starting with two models to store authors and the books they have written:

@Model
class Author {
    var name: String
    var books: [Book]

    init(name: String, books: [Book]) {
        self.name = name
        self.books = books
    }
}

@Model
class Book {
    var title: String
    var author: Author?

    init(title: String, author: Author? = nil) {
        self.title = title
        self.author = author
    }
}

We could then show a list of authors and their books using @Query in a SwiftUI view, such as this one:

struct AuthorsView: View {
    @Query(sort: \Author.name) var authors: [Author]

    var body: some View {
        NavigationStack {
            List(authors) { author in
                Text(author.name)
                Text(author.books.map(\.title).formatted(.list(type: .and)))
            }
            .navigationTitle("iLibrary")
        }
    }
}

And finally, tie it all together in our App struct, using the modelContainer(for:) modifier:

@main
struct LibraryApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
        .modelContainer(for: [Author.self, Book.self])
    }
}

Note

Because Author and Book share a relationship, we can use either modelContainer(for: Author.self) or modelContainer(for: Book.self) and have SwiftData automatically load both models.
