SwiftUI CoreData - Store Fetch Request Data - swiftui

Question

I am having real difficulty using Fetch Data from Core Data Entity.
All I need to do is to Fetch Data and use within my Code.
My approach technique maybe wrong hence the difficulty.
I hoped to get the Data and store into an array
I have a function which processed the data, but all I am able to do is to display the result in a view.
I would like to store the data in an Array, where I attempted to EmptyArray.append[newElement]
Error: Code is dictionaryWord.append(word.englishName) and error is Type of expression is ambiguous without more context
//Game Play
struct gamePlay: View {
//Set CoreData environment
#Environment(\.managedObjectContext) var managedObjectContext
#FetchRequest(entity: Dictionary.entity(), sortDescriptors: []) var dictionary: FetchedResults<Dictionary>
//Variables for Game Play
#State private var dictionaryWord: [String] = []
#State private var correctAnswer = Int.random(in: 0...2)
//Function to retrieve records from CoreData
func processListPicture() -> some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
List(dictionary,id: \.self) { word in
HStack {
Text(word.englishName)
Image(word.imageName)
.resizable()
.frame(width: 50, height: 50)
.scaledToFit()
Text("- Urhobo: \(word.urhoboName)")
}
}//End of ForEach / List
}
}.navigationBarTitle(Text("English Word Translator"),displayMode: .inline)
}//End of Function

If I understand your question, you are trying to convert FetchedResults<Result> (called 'dictionary') to an array, where Result is a CoreData's entity called Dictionary.
To shuffle it, you can do:
let shuffledDictionaries: [Dictionary] = dictionary.shuffled()
If you wan conserve the original order:
let dictionaries: [Dictionary] = dictionary.map { $0 }
Or if you want any specific order:
let sortedDictionaries: [Dictionary] = dictionary.sorted(by: { ... })
