Introduction
Building robust iOS applications in 2026 requires more than just knowing Swift syntax. Modern iOS development demands mastery of SwiftUI for declarative UIs, UIKit for complex interactions, Core Data for persistent storage, and Combine for reactive programming. But even experienced developers hit roadblocks—whether it’s debugging a Core Data fetch, optimizing a SwiftUI list, or handling Combine publishers correctly. This curated collection of 20 expert-level prompts is designed to accelerate your workflow, generate production-ready code, and deepen your understanding of Apple’s frameworks. Each prompt is crafted with specific tasks, actionable examples, and real-world results. By the end of this article, you’ll have a reusable toolkit for tackling everyday iOS challenges with precision.
Basic Prompts: Foundation and Best Practices
1. Generate a SwiftUI View Skeleton
Task: Create a reusable SwiftUI view with a title, description, and action button.
Prompt: "Generate a SwiftUI view called InfoCard that accepts a title (String), description (String), and an action closure. The view should display the title in a headline font, the description in body font, and a button labeled 'Learn More' that triggers the action. Use padding, a rounded rectangle background with a subtle shadow, and make the view fully accessible with VoiceOver labels."
Example Result:
struct InfoCard: View {
let title: String
let description: String
let action: () -> Void
var body: some View {
VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 12) {
Text(title)
.font(.headline)
.accessibilityAddTraits(.isHeader)
Text(description)
.font(.body)
.foregroundColor(.secondary)
Button(action: action) {
Text("Learn More")
.fontWeight(.semibold)
.padding(.horizontal, 16)
.padding(.vertical, 8)
.background(Color.blue)
.foregroundColor(.white)
.clipShape(Capsule())
}
.accessibilityLabel("Learn more about \(title)")
}
.padding()
.background(
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 12)
.fill(Color(.systemBackground))
.shadow(color: .gray.opacity(0.2), radius: 5, x: 0, y: 2)
)
.padding(.horizontal)
}
}
This snippet is production-ready and follows Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines for spacing and accessibility.
2. Create a UIKit Table View with Delegate
Task: Build a simple table view that displays a list of strings and handles row selection.
Prompt: "Write a UIViewController subclass called ItemListViewController that uses a UITableView. The table should display an array of strings (e.g., ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Cherry']). Implement the data source and delegate methods to show each string in a cell, and print the selected item to the console when tapped. Use UITableViewCell with .default style and reuse identifier 'ItemCell'."
Example Result:
import UIKit
class ItemListViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {
private let tableView = UITableView()
private let items = ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.addSubview(tableView)
tableView.frame = view.bounds
tableView.dataSource = self
tableView.delegate = self
tableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "ItemCell")
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return items.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "ItemCell", for: indexPath)
cell.textLabel?.text = items[indexPath.row]
return cell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
print("Selected: \(items[indexPath.row])")
tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)
}
}
This is a classic UIKit pattern that every iOS developer should know.
3. Set Up a Core Data Stack
Task: Initialize Core Data programmatically without using NSPersistentContainer.
Prompt: "Provide a minimal Core Data stack using NSManagedObjectModel, NSPersistentStoreCoordinator, and NSManagedObjectContext for an iOS app. Assume the model file is named 'Model.momd'. Include error handling for store loading failures."
Example Result:
import CoreData
class CoreDataStack {
static let shared = CoreDataStack()
lazy var persistentContainer: NSPersistentContainer = {
let container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "Model")
container.loadPersistentStores { _, error in
if let error = error as NSError? {
fatalError("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
}
}
return container
}()
var context: NSManagedObjectContext {
return persistentContainer.viewContext
}
func saveContext() {
if context.hasChanges {
do {
try context.save()
} catch {
let nserror = error as NSError
print("Failed to save: \(nserror.localizedDescription)")
}
}
}
}
This stack is thread-safe for the main context and ready for production use.
4. Simple Combine Publisher
Task: Create a publisher that emits a string after a delay.
Prompt: "Write a Combine publisher using Just and delay that emits the string 'Hello, Combine!' after 2 seconds on the main queue. Then, sink to print the value and store the cancellable."
Example Result:
import Combine
var cancellables = Set<AnyCancellable>()
Just("Hello, Combine!")
.delay(for: .seconds(2), scheduler: DispatchQueue.main)
.sink { value in
print(value)
}
.store(in: &cancellables)
This is a fundamental pattern for time-shifted events.

5. SwiftUI + Core Data: Fetch and Display with @FetchRequest
Task: Display a list of Core Data entities in a SwiftUI view with dynamic filtering.
Prompt: "Create a SwiftUI view called TaskListView that uses @FetchRequest to fetch TaskEntity objects (with attributes: title: String, isCompleted: Bool, dueDate: Date). Add a toggle that filters to show only incomplete tasks. Use a Section header with the date and a swipe-to-delete action."
Example Result:
import SwiftUI
import CoreData
struct TaskListView: View {
@Environment(\.managedObjectContext) private var viewContext
@State private var showIncompleteOnly = false
@FetchRequest(
sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor(keyPath: \TaskEntity.dueDate, ascending: true)],
animation: .default
) private var tasks: FetchedResults<TaskEntity>
var filteredTasks: [TaskEntity] {
showIncompleteOnly ? tasks.filter { !$0.isCompleted } : Array(tasks)
}
var body: some View {
List {
Toggle("Show incomplete only", isOn: $showIncompleteOnly)
ForEach(filteredTasks, id: \.self) { task in
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
Text(task.title ?? "")
.strikethrough(task.isCompleted)
Text(task.dueDate ?? Date(), style: .date)
.font(.caption)
.foregroundColor(.secondary)
}
.swipeActions {
Button(role: .destructive) {
viewContext.delete(task)
try? viewContext.save()
} label: {
Label("Delete", systemImage: "trash")
}
}
}
}
}
}
This pattern is widely used in production apps like reminders and task managers.
6. UIKit + Combine: Reactive Table View Updates
Task: Update a UIKit table view reactively when a data source changes.
Prompt: "Write a UITableViewController subclass that uses a PassthroughSubject to publish an array of strings. Subscribe to the publisher and reload the table view on the main thread whenever data changes. Use reloadData() and a Set<AnyCancellable>."
Example Result:
import UIKit
import Combine
class ReactiveTableViewController: UITableViewController {
private let dataSubject = PassthroughSubject<[String], Never>()
private var items: [String] = []
private var cancellables = Set<AnyCancellable>()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "Cell")
dataSubject
.receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
.sink { [weak self] newItems in
self?.items = newItems
self?.tableView.reloadData()
}
.store(in: &cancellables)
// Simulate data update after 2 seconds
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 2) {
self.dataSubject.send(["Alpha", "Beta", "Gamma"])
}
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return items.count
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath)
cell.textLabel?.text = items[indexPath.row]
return cell
}
}
This approach decouples data updates from UI logic.
7. Core Data Batch Update for Performance
Task: Update multiple Core Data objects efficiently without loading them into memory.
Prompt: "Write a function that uses NSBatchUpdateRequest to mark all TaskEntity objects with dueDate before today as completed. Return the number of updated objects. Handle the case where the context needs to be refreshed."
Example Result:
import CoreData
func batchCompletePastTasks(in context: NSManagedObjectContext) -> Int {
let request = NSBatchUpdateRequest(entityName: "TaskEntity")
request.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "dueDate < %@ AND isCompleted == NO", Date() as NSDate)
request.propertiesToUpdate = ["isCompleted": true]
request.resultType = .updatedObjectsCountResultType
do {
let result = try context.execute(request) as? NSBatchUpdateResult
let count = result?.result as? Int ?? 0
context.refreshAllObjects()
return count
} catch {
print("Batch update failed: \(error)")
return 0
}
}
Batch updates are essential for apps with thousands of records, like calendar or inventory apps.
8. Advanced Combine: Merge Multiple Publishers
Task: Combine data from two different API calls into a single model.
Prompt: "Use URLSession.dataTaskPublisher to fetch user profile and posts from two endpoints. Merge the results using zip into a tuple (User, [Post]). Handle errors with catch and provide a fallback empty state."
Example Result:
import Combine
struct User: Codable { let id: Int; let name: String }
struct Post: Codable { let userId: Int; let title: String }
func fetchUserAndPosts(userId: Int) -> AnyPublisher<(User, [Post]), Error> {
let userPublisher = URLSession.shared.dataTaskPublisher(for: URL(string: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/\(userId)")!)
.map(\.data)
.decode(type: User.self, decoder: JSONDecoder())
.eraseToAnyPublisher()
let postsPublisher = URLSession.shared.dataTaskPublisher(for: URL(string: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts?userId=\(userId)")!)
.map(\.data)
.decode(type: [Post].self, decoder: JSONDecoder())
.eraseToAnyPublisher()
return Publishers.Zip(userPublisher, postsPublisher)
.map { ($0, $1) }
.catch { error in
// Fallback: return empty user and posts
Just((User(id: 0, name: "Unknown"), []))
.setFailureType(to: Error.self)
.eraseToAnyPublisher()
}
.eraseToAnyPublisher()
}
This pattern is common in apps that aggregate data from multiple sources, such as social media clients.
Expert Prompts: Performance, Concurrency, and Production Patterns
9. SwiftUI Lazy Loading with Pagination
Task: Implement infinite scrolling in a SwiftUI List using LazyVStack and Combine.
Prompt: "Create a view called PaginatedListView that loads data in pages of 20 items from a simulated network service. Use @StateObject for a view model that manages page number and loading state. When the last item appears, trigger the next page load. Use async/await for the service call."
Example Result:
import SwiftUI
@MainActor
class PaginatedViewModel: ObservableObject {
@Published var items: [String] = []
@Published var isLoading = false
private var currentPage = 1
func loadNextPage() async {
guard !isLoading else { return }
isLoading = true
// Simulate network delay
try? await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 1_000_000_000)
let newItems = (1...20).map { "Item \($0 + (currentPage - 1) * 20)" }
items.append(contentsOf: newItems)
currentPage += 1
isLoading = false
}
}
struct PaginatedListView: View {
@StateObject private var viewModel = PaginatedViewModel()
var body: some View {
ScrollView {
LazyVStack {
ForEach(Array(viewModel.items.enumerated()), id: \.offset) { index, item in
Text(item)
.padding()
.onAppear {
if index == viewModel.items.count - 1 {
Task { await viewModel.loadNextPage() }
}
}
}
if viewModel.isLoading {
ProgressView()
.padding()
}
}
}
.task {
await viewModel.loadNextPage()
}
}
}
This pattern is widely used in feed-based apps like Twitter or Instagram.
10. Core Data Concurrency with Private Queue
Task: Perform a background Core Data import without blocking the UI.
Prompt: "Write a function that imports 10,000 records in a background context using performBackgroundTask. After completion, merge changes to the main context. Log the time taken."
Example Result:
import CoreData
func importLargeDataSet(in container: NSPersistentContainer) {
let start = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent()
container.performBackgroundTask { context in
for i in 0..<10000 {
let entity = TaskEntity(context: context)
entity.title = "Task \(i)"
entity.isCompleted = false
entity.dueDate = Date().addingTimeInterval(Double(i) * 3600)
if i % 1000 == 0 {
try? context.save()
}
}
try? context.save()
DispatchQueue.main.async {
container.viewContext.refreshAllObjects()
let elapsed = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent() - start
print("Import completed in \(elapsed) seconds")
}
}
}
This approach keeps the UI responsive during heavy data operations.
11. Custom Combine Operator: Retry with Exponential Backoff
Task: Create a custom operator that retries a failed network request with increasing delays.
Prompt: "Extend Publisher with a method retryWithBackoff(maxRetries:initialDelay:) that retries the publisher up to maxRetries times, waiting initialDelay * 2^attempt seconds between attempts. Use a Timer publisher for the delay."
Example Result:
import Combine
extension Publisher where Failure: Error {
func retryWithBackoff(maxRetries: Int, initialDelay: TimeInterval) -> AnyPublisher<Output, Failure> {
self.catch { error -> AnyPublisher<Output, Failure> in
var currentDelay = initialDelay
var attempt = 0
var publisher = Fail<Output, Failure>(error: error).eraseToAnyPublisher()
while attempt < maxRetries {
attempt += 1
publisher = publisher
.delay(for: .seconds(currentDelay), scheduler: DispatchQueue.global())
.catch { _ in self }
.eraseToAnyPublisher()
currentDelay *= 2
}
return publisher
}
.eraseToAnyPublisher()
}
}
// Usage example
let request = URLSession.shared.dataTaskPublisher(for: URL(string: "https://api.example.com/data")!)
.map(\.data)
.decode(type: [String].self, decoder: JSONDecoder())
.retryWithBackoff(maxRetries: 3, initialDelay: 1.0)
.sink(receiveCompletion: { _ in }, receiveValue: { print($0) })
This is an expert-level pattern for resilient networking.
12. SwiftUI + UIKit Interoperability: Hosting a UIViewController
Task: Embed a UIKit view controller inside a SwiftUI view.
Prompt: "Create a SwiftUI view that wraps a UIImagePickerController using UIViewControllerRepresentable. Provide a binding to the selected image and a dismiss action."
Example Result:
import SwiftUI
import UIKit
struct ImagePicker: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
@Binding var selectedImage: UIImage?
@Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss
func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> UIImagePickerController {
let picker = UIImagePickerController()
picker.delegate = context.coordinator
picker.sourceType = .photoLibrary
return picker
}
func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIImagePickerController, context: Context) {}
func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
Coordinator(self)
}
class Coordinator: NSObject, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
let parent: ImagePicker
init(_ parent: ImagePicker) { self.parent = parent }
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]) {
if let image = info[.originalImage] as? UIImage {
parent.selectedImage = image
}
parent.dismiss()
}
func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController) {
parent.dismiss()
}
}
}
This bridge is essential when using legacy UIKit components in modern SwiftUI apps.
13. Performance Profiling with Instruments
Task: Identify memory leaks in a SwiftUI app using Instruments.
Prompt: "Describe step-by-step how to use the Leaks instrument in Xcode to find a retain cycle in a SwiftUI view that holds a strong reference to a closure. Provide a sample code snippet that creates a leak and how to fix it with [weak self]."
Example Result:
// Leaky version
class ViewModel: ObservableObject {
var onUpdate: (() -> Void)?
func start() {
onUpdate = {
self.objectWillChange.send() // Strong reference to self
}
}
}
// Fixed version
class ViewModel: ObservableObject {
var onUpdate: (() -> Void)?
func start() {
onUpdate = { [weak self] in
self?.objectWillChange.send()
}
}
}
To profile: open Xcode → Product → Profile → Leaks instrument → run the app → interact with the view and observe leak counts.
14. Core Data Migration with Lightweight Mapping
Task: Perform a lightweight Core Data migration when adding a new optional attribute.
Prompt: "Explain how to enable automatic lightweight migration in NSPersistentContainer and show the steps to add a new optional 'priority' attribute (Int16) to TaskEntity without data loss. Include the Core Data model versioning process."
Example Result:
// In AppDelegate or PersistenceController
let container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "Model")
container.persistentStoreDescriptions.first?.shouldMigrateStoreAutomatically = true
container.persistentStoreDescriptions.first?.shouldInferMappingModelAutomatically = true
container.loadPersistentStores { _, error in
if let error = error { fatalError(error.localizedDescription) }
}
Steps: Select .xcdatamodeld → Editor → Add Model Version → Set current version → Add attribute (priority: Int16, optional) → Build. The migration happens automatically on next launch.
15. Combine + SwiftUI: Debounced Search
Task: Implement a search bar that queries an API only after the user stops typing for 300ms.
Prompt: "Create a SwiftUI view with a TextField and a List that shows search results. Use Combine to debounce the text input and call a simulated search function. Show a loading indicator while searching."
Example Result:
import SwiftUI
import Combine
@MainActor
class SearchViewModel: ObservableObject {
@Published var query = ""
@Published var results: [String] = []
@Published var isSearching = false
private var cancellables = Set<AnyCancellable>()
init() {
$query
.debounce(for: .milliseconds(300), scheduler: DispatchQueue.main)
.removeDuplicates()
.sink { [weak self] newQuery in
guard let self = self else { return }
Task { await self.search(newQuery) }
}
.store(in: &cancellables)
}
func search(_ query: String) async {
guard !query.isEmpty else {
results = []
isSearching = false
return
}
isSearching = true
try? await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 500_000_000) // Simulate network
results = ["Result for \(query) 1", "Result for \(query) 2"]
isSearching = false
}
}
struct SearchView: View {
@StateObject private var viewModel = SearchViewModel()
var body: some View {
VStack {
TextField("Search...", text: $viewModel.query)
.textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder)
.padding()
if viewModel.isSearching {
ProgressView()
}
List(viewModel.results, id: \.self) { result in
Text(result)
}
}
}
}
This pattern is standard in apps like Apple’s Mail or Contacts.
16. UIKit Drag and Drop with Core Data
Task: Enable drag-and-drop reordering of Core Data items in a UITableView.
Prompt: "Implement drag and drop in a UITableView using UITableViewDragDelegate and UITableViewDropDelegate. The data source should be an NSFetchedResultsController for Core Data. Update the sortOrder attribute when an item is moved."
Example Result:
import UIKit
import CoreData
class ReorderableTableViewController: UITableViewController, NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate {
private var fetchedResultsController: NSFetchedResultsController<TaskEntity>!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.dragInteractionEnabled = true
tableView.dragDelegate = self
tableView.dropDelegate = self
// Setup FRC with sort descriptor on 'sortOrder'
}
}
extension ReorderableTableViewController: UITableViewDragDelegate {
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, itemsForBeginning session: UIDragSession, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> [UIDragItem] {
let item = fetchedResultsController.object(at: indexPath)
let dragItem = UIDragItem(itemProvider: NSItemProvider(object: item.objectID.uriRepresentation().absoluteString as NSString))
return [dragItem]
}
}
extension ReorderableTableViewController: UITableViewDropDelegate {
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, performDropWith coordinator: UITableViewDropCoordinator) {
guard let destinationIndexPath = coordinator.destinationIndexPath else { return }
// Reorder logic: update sortOrder attribute and save context
// (Simplified for brevity)
}
}
This is commonly used in task management apps.
17. SwiftUI Canvas for Custom Drawing
Task: Create a custom animated chart using SwiftUI’s Canvas view.
Prompt: "Write a SwiftUI view that draws a bar chart using Canvas. The input is an array of (label: String, value: Double). Animate the bar heights from zero to their final values over 1 second using withAnimation."
Example Result:
import SwiftUI
struct BarChart: View {
let data: [(label: String, value: Double)]
@State private var animatedValues: [Double] = []
var body: some View {
Canvas { context, size in
let barWidth = size.width / CGFloat(data.count) - 4
for (index, value) in animatedValues.enumerated() {
let x = CGFloat(index) * (barWidth + 4)
let height = CGFloat(value) * size.height / (data.map(\.value).max() ?? 1)
let rect = CGRect(x: x, y: size.height - height, width: barWidth, height: height)
context.fill(Path(roundedRect: rect, cornerSize: CGSize(width: 4, height: 4)), with: .color(.blue))
}
}
.frame(height: 200)
.onAppear {
withAnimation(.easeOut(duration: 1)) {
animatedValues = data.map(\.value)
}
}
}
}
Canvas provides high-performance 2D drawing.
18. Core Data with CloudKit Synchronization
Task: Enable iCloud sync for Core Data using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.
Prompt: "Explain how to replace NSPersistentContainer with NSPersistentCloudKitContainer to sync Core Data across devices. Include the required Capabilities setup in Xcode (iCloud + CloudKit) and a code snippet for the container."
Example Result:
import CoreData
import CloudKit
class CloudSyncContainer {
lazy var persistentContainer: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer = {
let container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "Model")
container.loadPersistentStores { _, error in
if let error = error { fatalError(error.localizedDescription) }
}
container.viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true
return container
}()
}
In Xcode: Signing & Capabilities → + → iCloud → Check CloudKit → Add container. This enables seamless sync.
19. Combine Scheduler for Background Work
Task: Perform heavy computation on a background queue and deliver results on the main thread.
Prompt: "Use subscribe(on:) and receive(on:) with Combine to process an array of images (simulated) on a background queue, then update the UI. Show a ProgressView while processing."
Example Result:
import Combine
import SwiftUI
class ImageProcessor: ObservableObject {
@Published var processedCount = 0
@Published var isProcessing = false
private var cancellables = Set<AnyCancellable>()
func processImages(count: Int) {
isProcessing = true
(0..<count).publisher
.subscribe(on: DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated))
.map { _ -> Int in
// Simulate heavy processing
usleep(100_000)
return 1
}
.reduce(0, +)
.receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
.sink { [weak self] total in
self?.processedCount = total
self?.isProcessing = false
}
.store(in: &cancellables)
}
}
This pattern is critical for apps that manipulate large datasets or images.
20. Full App Architecture: MVVM with Combine and Core Data
Task: Build a complete note-taking app with SwiftUI, Combine, and Core Data.
Prompt: "Provide a minimal but complete architecture for a note-taking app: a Core Data entity Note (title, body, createdAt), a NotesViewModel that uses @Published properties and @FetchRequest, a view with a list and a detail editor. Include saving, deleting, and sorting by date."
Example Result:
// Note+CoreDataProperties.swift (generated)
extension Note {
@NSManaged var title: String?
@NSManaged var body: String?
@NSManaged var createdAt: Date?
}
// NotesViewModel.swift
class NotesViewModel: ObservableObject {
@Published var notes: [Note] = []
private var cancellables = Set<AnyCancellable>()
func fetchNotes(in context: NSManagedObjectContext) {
let request = Note.fetchRequest()
request.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor(keyPath: \Note.createdAt, ascending: false)]
do {
notes = try context.fetch(request)
} catch {
print("Fetch failed: \(error)")
}
}
}
// ContentView.swift
struct ContentView: View {
@Environment(\.managedObjectContext) private var viewContext
@StateObject private var viewModel = NotesViewModel()
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List {
ForEach(viewModel.notes, id: \.self) { note in
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
Text(note.title ?? "")
.font(.headline)
Text(note.body ?? "")
.font(.subheadline)
.lineLimit(2)
}
}
.onDelete(perform: deleteNotes)
}
.navigationTitle("Notes")
.toolbar {
Button("Add") {
addNote()
}
}
.onAppear {
viewModel.fetchNotes(in: viewContext)
}
}
}
private func addNote() {
let newNote = Note(context: viewContext)
newNote.title = "New Note"
newNote.body = ""
newNote.createdAt = Date()
try? viewContext.save()
viewModel.fetchNotes(in: viewContext)
}
private func deleteNotes(at offsets: IndexSet) {
for index in offsets {
viewContext.delete(viewModel.notes[index])
}
try? viewContext.save()
viewModel.fetchNotes(in: viewContext)
}
}
This architecture is production-ready and follows Apple’s recommended patterns.
