# modelContainer(_:)

Sets the model container and associated model context in this view’s environment.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor @preconcurrency func modelContainer(_ container: ModelContainer) -> some View

```

## Parameters

- `container`: The model container to use for this view.

## Discussion

Discussion In this example, ContentView sets a model container to use for RecipesList: struct ContentView: View {     @State private var container = ModelContainer(...)

var body: some Scene {         RecipesList()             .modelContainer(container)     } } The environment’s modelContext property will be assigned a new context associated with this container. All implicit model context operations in this view, such as Query properties, will use the environment’s context.
