Using Core Data in a Modern SwiftUI Application

on YouTube ↗41m

" summary

Shows concrete Core Data wiring for SwiftUI: a PersistenceController that creates an in‑memory store for previews, using the @FetchRequest property wrapper for list views, and creating a child managed object context for editable forms so edits stay isolated until saving. Explains how to obtain an editable copy via objectID, persist by saving child then parent, and why managed objects are ObservableObject with NSManaged properties behaving like published bindings.
