#64: Real World SwiftData

This episode is all about SwiftData. Steve has started using it a lot lately and talks about his experience so far trying to sync a bunch of API data into a SwiftData model as well as using a Swift Actor to control write access to the data container in a thread-safe manner. There are some really useful links in the show notes this week. You'll want to bookmark them all! ## Topics Discussed: - Introductions - Steve’s Real World SwiftData Experience…so far - Maintaining a local copy of server data - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftdata/maintaining-a-local-copy-of-server-data - Practical SwiftData: Building SwiftUI Applications with Modern Approaches - https://fatbobman.com/en/posts/practical-swiftdata-building-swiftui-applications-with-modern-approaches/ - Concurrency of SwiftData | Donny Wals - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG4oCnQ0bfw - Observable Architecture: Structural Identity | PointFree - https://www.pointfree.co/episodes/ep260-observable-architecture-structural-identity - Populating SwiftData from Server (ETag) Explained | Azam Sharp - https://youtu.be/f_Amhej1bkM - Tangent: Rendering HTML in SwiftUI with a WebView - Wrap-Up & Jokes - https://phillycocoa.org Intro music: "When I Hit the Floor", © 2021 Lorne Behrman.
