Use .fetchBatchSize with @FetchRequest in SwifUI

Question

I've been trying to understand and figure it out for a few days now, but still couldn't come up with solution.

For example, there is a core data entity with 1 mil rows, and I want to display all the record in a view with a "load as you scroll" in order increase the perfomance, as loading 1 mil rows on load would be slow and wasteful.

From the documentaion basically .fetchBatchSize will load 'batches' of data only when it's needed, which is perfect solution for a problem. A user scroll the list, and SwiftUI load data by batches when required.

Here is what I have (simplified):

ContextView.swift

struct ContentView: View {
    @FetchRequest private var items: FetchedResults<Item>
    
    init() {
        _items = FetchRequest<Item>(fetchRequest: request())
    }
    
    var body: some View {
        List(items) {
            Text($0.name)
        }
    }
    
    func request() -> NSFetchRequest<Item> {
        let request = Item.fetchRequest()
        request.sortDescriptors = []
        request.fetchBatchSize = 5
        
        return request
    }
}

The problem: @FetchRequest loads all the records at the same time without batching and/or it does work but retrieves all the batches at the same time and defeating the whole purpose of batch retrieving.

I tried actually loading 1 mil rows and takes a lot of time to show the view (as it is retrieving and preparing all 1 mil rows of data). If '.fetchBatchSize' worked it will load only the first 5 and will load slowly as the list scrolls.

*Note: I know there is .fetchLimit & .fetchOffset, but it would require to implement a separate logic *
