PreviewProvider and ObservedObject properties

by

If you are using the standard PersistenceController that comes with Xcode when you start a new project with CoreData just add the below method so Xcode returns the .preview container when you are running in preview.

    public static func previewAware() -> PersistenceController{
        //Identifies if XCode is running for previews
        if ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment["XCODE_RUNNING_FOR_PREVIEWS"] == "1"{
            return PersistenceController.preview
        }else{
            return PersistenceController.shared
        }
    }

As for the rest you can use something like this.

import SwiftUI
import CoreData

struct SamplePreviewView: View {
    @ObservedObject var item: Item
    var body: some View {
        Text(item.timestamp?.description ?? "nil")
    }
}
struct SamplePreviewView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static let svc = CoreDataPersistenceService()
    static var previews: some View {
        SamplePreviewView(item: svc.addSample())
    }
}

class CoreDataPersistenceService: NSObject {

    var persistenceController: PersistenceController

    init(isTest: Bool = false) {
        if isTest{
            self.persistenceController = PersistenceController.preview
        }else{
            self.persistenceController = PersistenceController.previewAware()
        }
        super.init()
    }
    func addSample() -> Item {
        let object = createObject()
        object.timestamp = Date()
        return object
    }
    //MARK: CRUD methods
    func createObject() -> Item {
        let result = Item.init(context: persistenceController.container.viewContext)
        return result
    }
}
