Creating our first CloudKit record

Before we dig into all the details, let's first just take the time to see how we can create a record. For now, think of a record as a type. We will go into this in more depth a bit later in this chapter. Let's say we want to create a shoe record. Let's see how we can accomplish that now.

Open ShoePOSApp.swift and, under import SwiftUI, add import CloudKit. Now, above the body variable, add the following:

init() {
	// Add next step here
}

Next, replace // Add next step here with the following:

let container = CKContainer(identifier: “//add your container 
  name here”) // (1)
let db = container.publicCloudDatabase // (2)
let recordID = CKRecord.ID(recordName: “shoe-pos-test”) // (3)

Alright, let's break down each bit of code we added line by line.
