SwiftUI Fetching contacts duplication

I have a model view that has fetching contacts function: 

class ContactsStore: ObservableObject {

@Published var contacts = [CNContact]()

func fetch() {} ...

And then in my View: 

@EnvironmentObject var store: ContactsStore

var groupedContacts: [String: [CNContact]] {
    .init (
        grouping: store.contacts,
        by: {$0.nameFirstLetter}
    )
}
     ...
       List() {
            ForEach(self.groupedContacts.keys.sorted(), id: \.self) { key in ...

I've shortened my code for the convenience, will add/edit if needed. The issue I faced - every time my View is rendered the fetch function is called and my array of contacts is duplicated in my view. TIA for a help

UPD: Duplication happens due to method calling fetch in the List .onAppear. So I'm looking at how to call this method only once and not every time the View appears.

You can do fetch in Init() like that:

struct someView: View{
    var list: [Settings]
    init(){
        let context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext
        let fetchRequest: NSFetchRequest<Settings> = Settings.fetchRequest()
        //... some order and filter if you need
        self.list = context.fetch(fetchRequest)
    }
    var body: some View{
        ...
        ForEach(list){settings in
            ...
        }
        ...
    }
}

Didn't try it with grouping, but you asked how to fetch only once. The answer is - in init().

But you cant get the @Environment in init, so i get the context from AppDelegate. Or you can pass the context as init parameter
