I’m looking for the easiest and most efficient way to convert a SwiftUI Image to Data so that I can store it in SwiftData.
let image: Image
let data: Data = GetImageData(image: image)
How would I implement the GetImageData function above?
I have found examples of how to do so with UIImage but not Image.
A SwiftUI Image is a View and not a image data. You can use ImageRenderer to create an image from SwiftUI views. That way you could extrapolate the cgImage and binary data.
That said, I would like to know what you’re trying to do with the Image perhaps they could be a better approach. Couldn't you cache the binary data before rendering the SwiftUI Image?
