how to preview core data in a PreviewProvider

182 Views Asked by At

This is in my View

struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        let persistenceController = PersistenceController.shared
    ContentView()
.environment(\.managedObjectContext, persistenceController.container.viewContext)
.previewDevice("iphone 14 pro")
    }
}

This is in my persistence file

import CoreData

class PersistenceController: ObservableObject {
     static let shared = PersistenceController()

    static var preview: PersistenceController = {
        let result = PersistenceController(inMemory: true)
        let viewContext = result.container.viewContext
        for _ in 0..<10 {
            let newItem = Item(context: viewContext)
            newItem.timestamp = Date()
            
            let TodoItem = Todo(context: viewContext)
            TodoItem.name = "clean"
            TodoItem.priority = "High"
            
            
        }
        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: NSPersistentContainer

    init(inMemory: Bool = false) {
        container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "coreDataToDo")
        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. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.

                /*
                 Typical reasons for an error here include:
                 * The parent directory does not exist, cannot be created, or disallows writing.
                 * The persistent store is not accessible, due to permissions or data protection when the device is locked.
                 * The device is out of space.
                 * The store could not be migrated to the current model version.
                 Check the error message to determine what the actual problem was.
                 */
                fatalError("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
            }
        })
        container.viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true
    }
}

I cant figure out how to load the data that is stored in core data and not that data that I randomly generated in PersistenceController in the for loop. What I am getting in the preview is mostly what is in the forloop
