HobjectiveRecord 0.3.2

Maintained by hmhv.

You want to add pod 'HobjectiveRecord', '~> 0.3' similar to the following to your Podfile:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'HobjectiveRecord', '~> 0.3'
end

Then run a pod install inside your terminal, or from CocoaPods.app.

Alternatively to give it a test run, run the command:

pod try HobjectiveRecord

HobjectiveRecord 0.3.2

By
hmhv

HobjectiveRecord is inspired by ObjectiveRecord and customized for background NSManagedObjectContext.

Before you use, i recommend you read these articles

You can use HobjectiveRecord with swift. check HobjectiveRecordDemo-Swift. or use SobjectiveRecord written in swift

Usage

copy all files in folder HobjectiveRecord to your project.
or Install with CocoaPods pod 'HobjectiveRecord'
#import "HobjectiveRecord.h" in your code or .pch file.

Initialize

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  // before you use CoreData stack, you should setup default store.
    [NSPersistentStoreCoordinator setupDefaultStore];

    // your code here

    return YES;
}
/*
+ (void)setupDefaultStore;
+ (void)setupDefaultStoreWithModelURL:(NSURL *)modelURL storeURL:(NSURL *)storeURL useInMemoryStore:(BOOL)useInMemoryStore;
*/

Basic

use performBlock:

[[NSManagedObjectContext defaultContext] performBlock:^{
  // your code here
}];

NSManagedObjectContext *childContext = [[NSManagedObjectContext defaultContext] createChildContext];
[childContext performBlock:^{
  // your code here
}];

Create / Save / Delete

[[NSManagedObjectContext defaultContext] performBlock:^{
    Tweet *tweet = [Tweet create];
    tweet.text = @"I am here";
    [tweet save];
    [tweet delete];

    tweet = [Tweet create:@{@"text" : @"hello!!",
                            @"lang" : @"en"} ];
    [tweet saveToStore];

    [Tweet deleteAll];
}];
/*
+ (instancetype)create;
+ (instancetype)create:(NSDictionary *)attributes;
+ (void)deleteAll;
+ (void)deleteWithCondition:(id)condition;
- (void)save;
- (void)saveToStore;
- (void)delete;
*/

Finders

[[NSManagedObjectContext defaultContext] performBlock:^{
    NSArray *tweets = [Tweet all];

    NSArray *tweetsInEnglish = [Tweet find:@"lang == 'en'"];

    User *hmhv = [User first:@"screenName == 'hmhv'"];

    NSArray *englishMen = [User find:@{@"lang" : @"en",
                                       @"timeZone" : @"London"
                                       }];

    NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"friendsCount > 100"];
    NSArray *manyFriendsUsers = [User find:predicate];
}];
/*
+ (NSArray *)all;
+ (NSArray *)find:(id)condition;
+ (instancetype)first:(id)condition;
+ (instancetype)firstOrCreate:(NSDictionary *)condition;
*/

Order and Limit

[[NSManagedObjectContext defaultContext] performBlock:^{
    NSArray *sortedUsers = [User allWithOrder:@"name"];

    NSArray *allUsers = [User allWithOrder:@"screenName ASC, name DESC"];
    // or
    NSArray *allUsers2 = [User allWithOrder:@"screenName A, name D"];
    // or
    NSArray *allUsers3 = [User allWithOrder:@"screenName, name d"];

    NSArray *manyFriendsUsers = [User find:@"friendsCount > 100" order:@"screenName DESC"];

    NSArray *fiveEnglishUsers = [User find:@"lang == 'en'" order:@"screenName ASC" limit:@(5)];
}];
/*
+ (NSArray *)allWithOrder:(NSString *)order;
+ (NSArray *)find:(id)condition order:(NSString *)order;
+ (NSArray *)find:(id)condition limit:(NSNumber *)limit;
+ (NSArray *)find:(id)condition order:(NSString *)order limit:(NSNumber *)limit;
*/

Aggregation

[[NSManagedObjectContext defaultContext] performBlock:^{
    NSUInteger allUserCount = [User count];

    NSUInteger englishUserCount = [User countWithCondition:@"lang == 'en'"];
}];
/*
+ (NSUInteger)count;
+ (NSUInteger)countWithCondition:(id)condition;
*/

BatchUpdate

[[NSManagedObjectContext defaultContext] performBlock:^{

    [User batchUpdateWithCondition:@"friendsCount > 10" propertiesToUpdate:@{@"friendsCount": @0}];

    // update all entities
    [User batchUpdateWithCondition:nil propertiesToUpdate:@{@"friendsCount": @100}];
}];
/*
+ (NSUInteger)batchUpdateWithCondition:(id)condition propertiesToUpdate:(NSDictionary *)propertiesToUpdate;
+ (NSUInteger)batchUpdateWithCondition:(id)condition propertiesToUpdate:(NSDictionary *)propertiesToUpdate inContext:(NSManagedObjectContext *)context;
*/

NSFetchedResultsController

    [[NSManagedObjectContext defaultContext] performBlock:^{
        NSFetchedResultsController *frc = [User createFetchedResultsControllerWithCondition:nil order:@"name" sectionNameKeyPath:nil];
        frc.delegate = self;

        NSError *error = nil;
        if ([frc performFetch:&error]) {
            [self reloadData];
        }
    }
}];
/*
+ (NSFetchedResultsController *)createFetchedResultsControllerWithCondition:(id)condition order:(NSString *)order sectionNameKeyPath:(NSString *)sectionNameKeyPath;
*/

Custom ManagedObjectContext

NSManagedObjectContext *childContext = [[NSManagedObjectContext defaultContext] createChildContext];

[childContext performBlock:^{
    User *john = [User createInContext:childContext];
    john.name = @"John";
    [john save];

    john = [User first:@"name == 'John'" inContext:childContext];

    NSArray *manyFriendsUsers = [User find:@"friendsCount > 100" order:@"screenName DESC" inContext:childContext];

    NSArray *allUsers = [User allInContext:childContext];
}];

Custom CoreData model or .sqlite database

If you've added the Core Data manually, you can change the custom model and database name.

NSURL *modelURL = [NSURL defaultModelURL:@"model_name"];
[NSPersistentStoreCoordinator setupDefaultStoreWithModelURL:modelURL storeURL:nil useInMemoryStore:NO];

// or
NSURL *storeURL = [NSURL defaultStoreURL:@"file_name.sqlite"];
[NSPersistentStoreCoordinator setupDefaultStoreWithModelURL:nil storeURL:storeURL useInMemoryStore:NO];

Mapping

The most of the time, your JSON web service returns keys like first_name, last_name, etc.
Your ObjC implementation has camelCased properties - firstName, lastName.

camel case is supported automatically - you don't have to do anything! Otherwise, if you have more complex mapping, here's how you do it:

!! Date, Transformable Types are not supported !!

// just override +mappings in your NSManagedObject subclass
#import "User+Mappings.h"

@implementation User (Mappings)

+ (NSDictionary *)mappings
{
    return @{@"description" : @"userDescription",
             @"name" : @"fullName"};
}
  // first_name => firstName is automatically handled

@end
/*
+ (NSDictionary *)mappings
+ (BOOL)useFindOrCreate
+ (BOOL)returnsObjectsAsFaults
+ (NSArray *)relationshipKeyPathsForPrefetching
*/

Testing

HobjectiveRecord supports CoreData's in-memory store. In any place, before your tests start running, it's enough to call

[NSPersistentStoreCoordinator setupDefaultStoreWithModelURL:nil storeURL:nil useInMemoryStore:YES];
