# CloudKit Catalog: An Introduction to CloudKit |
CloudKit Catalog consists of a native iOS application and a web application which demonstrate use of |
Swift and JavaScript CloudKit APIs respectively. |
# Schema |
The two apps share an *Items* record type which has fields |
* name : String |
* location : Location |
* asset : Asset |
# Records, Notifications and Sync |
Both apps allow an authenticated user to write *Items* records to a zone in his/her private database. Additionally they |
allow you to subscribe to changes to Items. So if you create or delete Items in the web app you will get notifications |
of these changes in the native app and vice versa. Upon receipt of a notification, you can use the sync APIs in either app to |
update a local cache of records with subscribed changes. |
# Discoverability |
A user of the native app can opt to be discoverable to other users of the app through the sign-in |
flow (the Authentication tab). In the native app a user is typically already signed in to iCloud on their device and |
they can opt in to discoverability with the *requestApplicationPermission* method in the Discoverability section. |
