```

## Parameters

- `name`: An optional name for the model configuration.
- `schema`: A schema that maps model classes to the associated data in the persistent storage. For more information, see doc://com.apple.SwiftData/documentation/SwiftData/Schema.
- `url`: The on-disk location of the schema’s persistent storage.
