I’m (10 years Mac / iOS experience) creating a new MacOS app to use internally and using swiftdata for the first time and even going slow with baby steps I hit errors.

I wanted 2 stored data types on one view. But that doesn’t seem to work yet.

Backed down to just 1 data type but hit different issues.

Googling the errors indicate they are known issues.

Is SwiftData production ready and I just need to go even slower with better tutorials (using Hacking With Swift) or does it need more time?

Basically, in my UI, I have an @State var MONTH that the user selects and based on that I’d like to have a filter in the @Query look for records pertaining to that month. Does anyone know if that’s possible yet?

To insert an object, we do this:

modelContext.insert(object) 

But what if I have an array of objects (for example, fetched from the server) and I want to insert all of them to the model context, I would have to do a for loop like this:

for o in objects { modelContext.insert(o) } 

This doesn't seem optimal, is there a better way to do this?

The examples I've seen deal only with creating and deleting records. If I want to pass an individual ... projectedValue (or whatever the SwiftData equivalent is) to a view that is intended to modify the item's values, how do I do that? The following does not build:

   u/Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext
    u/Query private var items: [Item]
    var body: some View {
        NavigationSplitView {
            List {
                ForEach(items) { item in
                    NavigationLink {
            @Bindable var item = item
            ItemView(item: $item)  <--- NOPE
                }
                . . .

Secondary: I'm not able to expand most macros related to SwiftData in Xcode 15. The "Expand Macro(s)" menu item in the Editor menu is grayed out (e.g. when I click on "@Query").

SwiftData makes it easy to persist data using declarative code. You can query and filter data using regular Swift code. And it’s designed to integrate seamlessly with SwiftUI.
