Is it possible to use Swift Data with an external API?

Forums > Swift

In one of the WWDC 2023 videos a presenter said in passing that you can connect SwiftData to whatever complicated setup you have. I haven't been able to find any documentation or connection points for this though.

Obviously I can fetch the data myself and call context.insert(...) for every item, but what about refreshes, deletes, inserts, updates? Where can I wire up these external calls and their responses?

Thanks!
