Manual Install

Download the repository and drag to your project files

Installation with Cocoapods

Installing SwiftyCoreData is as simple as

pod 'CoreDataBC'

Initializing

1. Import the CoreDataBC module

2. Create an instance of the CoreDataBC Module private let coreData = CoreDataBC(entity: "<Entity Name>", xcDataModelID: "<Name of your xcDataModelID>")

Saving Data - Single Entry

To save one entry, create a dictionary of the items you want to save. In this case, I am trying to add my contact info.

private let record = ["name": "Cyril Garcia", "email": "[email protected]"]

Call the pushSingleValue() method

self.coreData.pushSingleValue(record)

Saving Data - Multiple Entries

Create a few dictionaries of values

private let  recordOne = ["name": "Cyril", "email": "[email protected]"]
private let  recordTwo = ["name": "Kobe", "email": "[email protected]"]
private let  recordThree = ["name": "Micheal", "email": "[email protected]"]

Call the pushMultipleValues() method

self.coreData.pushMultipleValues([recordOne, recordTwo, recordThree])

Retrieve Records

Retrieving records is failry simple with CoreDataBC. All you do is call the retrieveData() method. There are three ways you can retrieve records, either by sorted, filtered, or all.

self.coreData.retrieveData()

To access the items you've retrieved, call the getData() function which returns an array of an NSManagedObject.

self.coreData.getData()

Update an existing record

To update an existing record, call the update() method. It has three parameters. key, value, and newValue. The key is the attribute name of the value you want to change. The value is the existing value that is in place The newValue is the new value you want to replace

Delete a Record

Since the data you have is given as an array of an NSManagedObject, you can remove a record by its index or by the object itself. Just call the remove() function.

Remove by index

self.coreData.remove(0)

Remove by NSManagedObject

let objectToRemove = self.coreData.getData()[0]
self.coreData.remove(objectToRemove)
