Data Persistence using Core Data
So I created a program without selecting “use core data” and realized after trying to make a persistence data storage that it helps very much so I created a new program and selected it this time and copied everything over. It provided a file called “Persistence” and the contentView file had a bunch of stuff already filled in (Also something called the title of the program). I have the data I need saved to the persistent data storage narrowed down to a singular array, but none of the videos I found online showed this version of xcode that supplied a “Persistence” file when using core data so I’m unsure how to use it. I will provide the contentView and Persistence file for context. The array I need saved is called mainList in contentView. ContentView: import SwiftUI import CoreData struct ContentView: View {     var mainList = [RecipeList(),RecipeList(),RecipeList(),RecipeList(),RecipeList()]          @Environment(\.managedObjectContext) private var viewContext     @FetchRequest(         sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor(keyPath: \Item.timestamp, ascending: true)],         animation: .default)     private var items: FetchedResults<Item>     var body: some View {         NavigationView {             List {                 ForEach(items) { item in                     NavigationLink {                         Text("Item at \(item.timestamp!, formatter: itemFormatter)")                     } label: {                         Text(item.timestamp!, formatter: itemFormatter)                     }                 }                 .onDelete(perform: deleteItems)             }             .toolbar {                 ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) {                     EditButton()                 }                 ToolbarItem {                     Button(action: addItem) {                         Label("Add Item", systemImage: "plus")                     }                 }             }             Text("Select an item")         }     }     private func addItem() {         withAnimation {             let newItem = Item(context: viewContext)             newItem.timestamp = Date()             do {                 try viewContext.save()             } catch {                 // Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.                 // fatalError() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.                 let nsError = error as NSError                 fatalError("Unresolved error \(nsError), \(nsError.userInfo)")             }         }     }     private func deleteItems(offsets: IndexSet) {         withAnimation {             offsets.map { items[$0] }.forEach(viewContext.delete)             do {                 try viewContext.save()             } catch {                 // Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.                 // fatalError() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate.

You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.             let nsError = error as NSError             fatalError("Unresolved error \(nsError), \(nsError.userInfo)")         }         return result     }()     let container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer     init(inMemory: Bool = false) {         container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "ReciStorage")         if inMemory {             container.persistentStoreDescriptions.first!.url = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/dev/null")         }         container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (storeDescription, error) in             if let error = error as NSError? {                 // Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.                 // fatalError() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FetchedResults to Array
So I have a core data entity titled recipe. I'm trying to make a search bar to search the list of recipes and my method of doing so is doing a fetch request of all objects and converting it to an array of those objects and then filtering the array and displaying the results. Any idea as to how to convert a type fetch results to an array? PS: as I'm typing this it occurred to me I could just do a for each loop and add them to the array as I go, but is there a quicker way to do this? Like a function? Thanks!!!

FetchedResults to Array (Error)
So I've found a way to convert fetched results to an array of the same data type, and not only that but filter them with the fetch request given a string: func searchResults(searchingFor: String)->[Recipe]{     var filteredRecipeList=[Recipe]()     @FetchRequest(sortDescriptors: [SortDescriptor(\.date, order: .reverse)], predicate: NSPredicate(format: "title CONTAINS[c] %@",searchingFor)) var filteredResults: FetchedResults<Recipe>     for recipe in filteredResults {         filteredRecipeList.append(recipe)     }     return filteredRecipeList } To clarify, this would ideally return an array with a list of Recipes that contain the given string in the title. In theory this should work just fine, but I'm getting a weird error. I've never seen an error like this and I'm not sure how to understand it. It is purple with a yellow warning. The error says "Accessing StateObject's object without being installed on a View. This will create a new instance each time." How do I get around this issue to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks in advance for any help whatsoever. I'll upvote anyone with any bit of helpful information. Have a good one!

Unknown Errors From Inverse Relationship. Please Help!!!
I had the idea of adding a list feature in my app where users can create a list and add multiple recipes to the app so first and only thing I did was add an entity to my data model called "List" that contains a string: title and an array of Recipes: recipes (I remembered to put "NSSecureUnarchiveFromData" in Transformer and put [Recipe] for custom class). Afterwards I made the relationship in both entities and made them inverse. I made no other changes to my code. But I ran it just to make sure nothing went wrong and lo and behold: 7 never before seen errors, but only in one file. Before adding this entity this same code compiled just fine. This is the file and these are the errors I'm getting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. import SwiftUI struct RecipeView: View {     @Environment (\.managedObjectContext) var managedObjContext     @Environment(\.dismiss) var dismiss          var recipe: FetchedResults<Recipe>.Element     @State var isFavorite: Bool     @State var servings = -1          var body: some View {         VStack(alignment: .leading){ //Error: Trailing closure passed to parameter of type 'CGFloat?' that does not accept a closure             if (recipe.notes! != ""){                 Section{                     Text(recipe.notes!)                         .font(.headline)                 }                 .padding(.horizontal)             }             HStack{                 Spacer()                 Text("Total Time: "+calcTime(time:Int(recipe.totalTime!) ?? 0))                 Spacer()                 Text("Servings: "+recipe.servings!)                 Spacer()             }             .padding(.vertical)             Grid{                 GridRow{                     Button {                         isFavorite.toggle()                         recipe.isFavorite.toggle()                         PersistenceController().save(context: managedObjContext)                     } label: {                         HStack{                             Image(systemName: isFavorite ?

Option Prompt on Button Hold
So I want to implement the same feature many apple made have which is an gray list of options when something is held. An example of this is when you hold down an iMessage chat before you open it and it gives the options to “Pin”, “Hide Alerts”, and “Delete” and shown here: Additionally when you hold down an app as if you were going to delete it a menu of options show up: Using a button how can I do this on a long hold? Any help or any direction toward help is greatly appreciated. All the best!

Searching a Data Model
I need to be able to search my list of recipes given a string. I’m unsure how to filter a data model in core data though. I tried a ForEach(container){ recipe in, but it said it gave me an error. Anyone know the correct way in the scrappy way doesn’t work? Thanks data controller: import Foundation import CoreData class DataController: ObservableObject {     let container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "RecipeModel")     init() {         container.loadPersistentStores { desc, error in             if let error = error {                 print("Failed to load the data \(error.localizedDescription)")             }         }     }     func save(context: NSManagedObjectContext) {         do {             try context.save()             print("Data saved")         } catch {             print("The data could not be saved")         }     }     func addRecipe(title: String, ingredients: [String], instructions: [String], notes: String, context: NSManagedObjectContext){         let recipe = Recipe(context: context)         recipe.id = UUID()         recipe.date = Date()         recipe.title = title         recipe.ingredients = ingredients         recipe.instructions = instructions         recipe.notes = notes         save(context: context)     }     func editRecipe(recipe: Recipe, title: String, ingredients: [String], instructions: [String], notes: String, context: NSManagedObjectContext){         recipe.title = title         recipe.ingredients = ingredients         recipe.instructions = instructions         recipe.notes = notes         save(context: context)import Foundation     }     func updateDate(recipe: Recipe, context: NSManagedObjectContext){         recipe.date=Date()         save(context: context)     } }

Button That Changes Label on Click
So I’ve looked this up so many times and tried every way I’ve found using a @State variable and nothing works. I need a button that toggles between SystemImage: “Star” to SystemImage: “Star.fill” when clicked. And I want it to happen when it’s clicked. Everything I’ve tried only changes when I close and reopen the view because it happens on appearance. Is there any way to make it change instantly? Thanks for any help!

Core Data Entity Inside Another Entity
So I have an entity in my core data model called recipe. I need to create another entity containing a recipe and a date that the recipe is assigned to. Can I do this similar to the way I've done it in the image and just save a Recipe object in the initialization of PlannedRecipe object in the Persistence file? Basically I just need to know how to add a entity in an entity using this core data model and persistence file. Persistence file: import CoreData struct PersistenceController {     static let shared = PersistenceController()     let container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer     init(inMemory: Bool = false) {         container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "ReciPrep")         if inMemory {             container.persistentStoreDescriptions.first!.url = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/dev/null")         }         container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (storeDescription, error) in             if let error = error as NSError? {                 fatalError("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)")             }         })         container.viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true     }     func addPlannedRecipe(recipe: Recipe,date: Date, context: NSManagedObjectContext){         let plannedRecipe = PlannedRecipe(context: context)         plannedRecipe.id = UUID()         plannedRecipe.date = Date()         plannedRecipe.recipe = recipe //Giving me an error: "Cannot assign value of type 'Recipe' to type 'Data?'"                  save(context: context)     }          func save(context: NSManagedObjectContext){         do {             try context.save()         } catch {             let nsError = error as NSError             fatalError("Unresolved error \(nsError), \(nsError.userInfo)")         }     } } I guess this problem can be solved if I can convert a recipe into binary data or some other savable data in an entity. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Filtering an Array
I'm trying to filter an array containing Recipes that have a property called title of type String that is required. These are the variables used in the line of code: @State private var searchingFor = "" @State private var filteredRecipes = [Recipe]() This is the line of code giving me the error: filteredRecipes=filteredRecipes.filter{$0.title.contains(searchingFor)} The error: "Value of optional type 'String?' must be unwrapped to refer to member 'contains' of wrapped base type 'String'" Any ideas on how I need to rewrite that line of code so that I don't get that error? ie. how do I unwrap 'String?'

Changing Views Bar
I’ve been looking for how to do this for AGES and I’ve finally found and app made in Swift that has it. So I really need a bar that stays at the bottom of my screen even when scrolling or changing views that has buttons on it that takes the user to a different view. And I don’t mean like a NavigationLink with a back button and a sliding transition. I mean I want it to open a whole new view and save the user’s location in the other view so when they press the button to return to the previous view they continue where they left off. This is the GitHub app and they’ve executed exactly what I need: To be clear this is what I’m talking about: If anyone has a repository or a YouTube tutorial that has something like this I would be SO grateful. Thanks! :)

List Background
Does anyone have any clue as to how to get rid of the grey background of my list? I've actually tried everything I could find online. .background(Color.clear), .backgroundStyle(.clear), init(){...}. nothing. I even tried replicating it in a new project and it didn't even show up there. Any idea as to how to get rid of this?

Enlarged TextField
I need to enlarge my text field. So I tried using a frame, but that only put dead space around it. The problem with that is I want to be able to click anywhere inside the boarder and it pull up the keyboard. So I tried padding and that did the same thing. Also I need the text to start a new line after it fills the first one and to go for as long as they type. Thanks!
