What is the @FetchRequest property wrapper?

Updated for Xcode 15

SwiftUI gives us a dedicated property wrapper for working with Core Data fetch requests, and it allows us to embed data directly into SwiftUI views without having to write extra logic.

You must provide @FetchRequest with at least one value, which is an array of sort descriptors to arrange the data. You can optionally also provide a predicate to filter the data as needed.

Important

Before using @FetchRequest you must first have injected a Core Data managed object context into the environment – see how to access a Core Data managed object context from a SwiftUI view for instructions on how to do that.

As a basic example, we could show all users from a Core Data context like this:

@FetchRequest(
    sortDescriptors: []
) var users: FetchedResults<User>

That applies no sorting to the data, so the users will be returned in the order they were added. @FetchRequest automatically implies @ObservedObject, so if you use your data in a List, ForEach, or similar, it will automatically be refreshed when the underlying data changes.

Tips

I’ve split the @FetchRequest code across several lines to make it easier to read, but it’s not required.

If you want to sort your data, provide your sort descriptors as an array of key paths, like this:

@FetchRequest(
    sortDescriptors: [
        SortDescriptor(\.name, order: .reverse)
    ]
) var users: FetchedResults<User>

You can provide as many as you want, and they will be evaluated in order.

To add a predicate as well, create an NSPredicate using your format like this:

@FetchRequest(
    sortDescriptors: [
        SortDescriptor(\.name, order: .reverse)
    ],
    predicate: NSPredicate(format: "surname == %@", "Hudson")
) var users: FetchedResults<User>
