Creating brands

We are going to manually create some brands, and then you can create something similar for products. First, we are going to set up our CloudKit helper before we add any code.

CloudKit helper

We are going to create a CloudKit helper, which will be used to make calls to the CloudKit database. We will have all of this code in a central location:

1. Create a new folder called CloudKit.
2. Then, right-click on the CloudKit folder and select New File….
3. Select Swift file and name it CloudKitHelper, and then hit Save.
4. First, after the import statement, add the following:

   import CloudKit

   Next, let's get started by adding a few variables we will need.

5. Add the following struct after the import statement:

   struct CloudKitHelper {
       
       // Databases
       static let publicDB = CKContainer.shared.
        publicCloudDatabase // (1)
   	// Add next step here
   }
