SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automatically creates a production-ready persistence stack for iOS/macOS apps using SwiftData (iOS 17+) or CoreData, with optional iCloud (CloudKit) sync to keep data in sync across devices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scaffold a complete persistence layer including PersistenceController, Repository protocol, and SwiftDataRepository for consistent data access.
  • Provide optional CloudKit/iCloud sync configurations to enable cross-device data synchronization.
  • Include templates and integration snippets to plug into app lifecycle and UI, with guidance for adding sample models and migrations.

Quick Start

Create a persistence layer scaffold using SwiftData (iOS 17+) or CoreData.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a SwiftData persistence layer for an iOS app?

To set up a SwiftData persistence layer, you can scaffold the PersistenceController, Repository protocol, and SwiftDataRepository. This generates a production-ready data access stack with project-aware naming conventions to plug directly into your app.

What is the best way to add iCloud sync to a CoreData or SwiftData app?

The best way to add iCloud sync is by using optional CloudKit configurations during scaffolding. This enables cross-device data synchronization by integrating CloudKit with your local CoreData or SwiftData persistence stack.

Can I use this scaffolding for CoreData projects on older iOS versions?

Yes, you can use this scaffolding for CoreData projects. SwiftData requires iOS 17 and above, but the tool supports CoreData for projects targeting older iOS versions that need local data storage.

How do I integrate a persistence controller into my app lifecycle?

You integrate a persistence controller into the app lifecycle using provided templates and integration snippets. The guided workflow plugs the repository into your app lifecycle and UI layers for immediate data access.

Does the persistence codegen include support for data model migrations?

Yes, the persistence codegen includes support for data model migrations. The scaffolding provides guidance for adding sample models and handling migrations within your SwiftData or CoreData stack.
