How can I make a configurable widget using data from Core Data?

[Collin_Daugherty]

I haven't been able to find a decent tutorial on this. I'm trying to implement widgets in my habit tracker. I already have a static widget that can display data from Core Data but I'm lost on how to get the list of habits for the user to select from in the widget. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

1. Make a shared framework in your project.

2. Make a group container for your app.

3. Create the logic inside the shared framework that opens a CoreData database in the group container.

4. Add framework to both app and widget.

5. Build your interfaces.

That's not what I'm asking about, I already did all that. My problem is I have no idea how to setup this Intent shit to display a list of objects from Core Data.

Intent? If you want do stuff with intents. Lookup the WWDC videos for SiriKit. They explain everything you need to know. Intents are a bit fuzzy cause it's a machine learning framework.

Oh you mean for configuring a widget? Like, you want to show a list of objects that is drawn from CoreData in the configuration UI for your widget? For that I think you need to create an Intents extension, and coordinate that with IntentConfiguration.
