Chapter 7: Financial App – Core Data
In the last chapter, we set up our design for our financial app. In this chapter, we are going to work with the data side. We will use Core Data to store our data. Core Data is pretty popular and is one of those hot topics among the iOS community. On the one hand, you have those who hate it and haven't used it for years, and then you have those who have used it since iOS 10 and can see what Apple has done to it over the course of the last few years. Core Data has come a long way from what it was pre-iOS 10. I do not use Core Data in my everyday work, but I find it not as bad as it used to be. I know that if I need an easy system that I want to get up and running, I will use Core Data without hesitation.
In this chapter, we will be covering the following topics:
- What is Core Data?
- Integrating Core Data with SwiftUI
- Displaying Core Data in a list
We are going to cover a lot of Core Data basics in this chapter...
