Usage
For example..
@objcMembers
class User: Object {
@objc enum UserType: Int {
case normal
case gold
case premium
}
dynamic var type: UserType = .normal
dynamic var name: String?
dynamic var thumbnail: File?
dynamic var followers: ReferenceCollection<User> = []
dynamic var items: NestedCollection<Item> = []
// Custom property
override func encode(_ key: String, value: Any?) -> Any? {
if key == "type" {
return self.type.rawValue
}
return nil
}
override func decode(_ key: String, value: Any?) -> Bool {
if key == "type" {
self.type = UserType(rawValue: value as! Int)
return true
}
return false
}
}
@objcMembers
class Item: Object {
dynamic var thumbnail: File?
dynamic var name: String? = "OWABIISHI"
}
// Set an arbitrary ID
let user: User = User(id: "ID")
user.save()
let userA: User = User()
userA.name = "userA"
userA.thumbnail = File(data: UIImageJPEGRepresentation(IMAGE, 0.3)!, mimeType: .jpeg)
let userB: User = User()
userB.name = "userB"
userB.thumbnail = File(data: UIImageJPEGRepresentation(IMAGE, 0.3)!, mimeType: .jpeg)
let item: Item = Item()
item.thumbnail = File(data: UIImageJPEGRepresentation(IMAGE, 0.3)!, mimeType: .jpeg)
userA.followers.insert(userB)
userA.items.insert(item)
userA.save()
Important
Pring clearly separates save and update. This is to prevent unexpected overwriting. Pring provides three methods of initializing Object.
Initialization giving AutoID to Object
let user: User = User()
Initialization giving arbitrary ID
let user: User = User(id: "YOUR_ID") // isSaved false
Initialization when dealing with already saved Object
If you are dealing with an Object that has already been saved, please perform the following initialization. In case of this initialization can not save Please update.
let user: User = User(id: "YOUR_ID", value: [:]) // isSaved true
It is the developer's responsibility to manage the saved state of the Object.
Scheme
Pring inherits Object class and defines the Model. Pring supports many data types.
@objcMembers
class User: Object {
dynamic var array: [String] = ["array"]
dynamic var set: Set<String> = ["set"]
dynamic var bool: Bool = true
dynamic var binary: Data = "data".data(using: .utf8)!
dynamic var file: File = File(data: UIImageJPEGRepresentation(UIImage(named: "")!, 1))
dynamic var url: URL = URL(string: "https://firebase.google.com/")!
dynamic var int: Int = Int.max
dynamic var float: Double = Double.infinity
dynamic var date: Date = Date(timeIntervalSince1970: 100)
dynamic var geoPoint: GeoPoint = GeoPoint(latitude: 0, longitude: 0)
dynamic var list: List<Group> = []
dynamic var dictionary: [String: Any] = ["key": "value"]
dynamic var string: String = "string"
let group: Reference<Group> = .init()
let nestedCollection: NestedCollection<Item> = []
let referenceCollection: ReferenceCollection<User> = []
}
DataType | Description |
---|---|
Array | It is Array type. |
Set | It is Set type.In Firestore it is expressed as {"value": true} . |
Bool | It is a boolean value. |
File | It is File type. You can save large data files. |
URL | It is URL type. It is saved as string in Firestore. |
Int | It is Int type. |
Float | It is Float type. In iOS, it will be a 64 bit Double type. |
Date | It is Date type. |
GeoPoint | It is GeoPoint type. |
List | It is Object array type. |
Dictionary | It is a Dictionary type. Save the structural data. |
nestedCollection or referenceCollection | It is SubCollection type. |
String | It is String type. |
Reference | It is Reference type. It hold DocumentReference |
Null | It is Null type. |
Any | It is custom type. You can specify it as a custom type if it is a class that inherits from NSObject. |
Bool
Int
Float
Double
are not supported optional type.
⚙️ Manage data
Save
Document can be saved only once.
let object: MyObject = MyObject()
object.save { (ref, error) in
// completion
}
Retrieve
Retrieve document with ID.
MyObject.get(document!.id, block: { (document, error) in
// do something
})
Update
Document has an update method. Be careful as it is different from Salada.
MyObject.get(document!.id, block: { (document, error) in
document.string = "newString"
document.update { error in
// update
}
})
Delete
Delete document with ID.
MyObject.get(document!.id, block: { (document, error) in
document.delete()
})
Batched writes
let batch: WriteBatch = Firestore.firestore().batch()
batch.add(.save, object: userA) // ** File is not saved.
batch.add(.update, object: userB)
batch.add(.delete, object: userC)
batch.commit(completion: { (error) in
// error handling
})
List
List can access the Object faster than NestedCollection. List holds data in Document, not SubCollection.
// save
let order: Order = Order()
do {
let orderItem: OrderItem = OrderItem()
orderItem.name = "aaaa"
orderItem.price = 39
order.items.append(orderItem)
}
do {
let orderItem: OrderItem = OrderItem()
orderItem.name = "bbb"
orderItem.price = 21
order.items.append(orderItem)
}
order.save()
Be sure to update the parent's object when updating data.
// update
Order.get("ORDER_ID") { (order, error) in
order.items.first.name = "hoge"
order.update()
}
📄 File
Pring has a File class because it seamlessly works with Firebase Storage.
Save
File is saved with Document Save at the same time.
let object: MyObject = MyObject()
object.thumbnailImage = File(data: PNG_DATA, mimeType: .png)
let tasks: [String: StorageUploadTask] = object.save { (ref, error) in
}
save
method returns the StorageUploadTask that is set with the key.
For details on how to use StorageUploadTask, refer to Firebase docs.
let task: StorageUploadTask = tasks["thumbnailImage"]
Get data
Get data with size.
let task: StorageDownloadTask = object.thumbnail.getData(100000, block: { (data, error) in
// do something
})
Update
If the Document is already saved, please use update method.
update
method also returns StorageUploadTask.
Running update method automatically deletes old files.
let newFile: File = File(data: PNG_DATA, mimeType: .png)
object.thumbnailImage = newFile
object.update()
Delete
Delete it with delete
method.
object.thumbnailImage = File.delete()
object.update()
If it is held in an array, automatic file deletion is done by deleting from the array and updating it.
object.files.remove(at: 0)
object.update()
Nested Collection & Reference Collection
NestedCollection
and ReferenceCollection
are classes that define SubCollection.
When holding File
in SubCollection, saving of File
will be executed first. When many File
s are stored in SubCollection at once, the performance deteriorates.
Nested Collection
- NestedCollection nests data and saves it under the document.
- The destination path of File is nested path.
Reference Collection
- ReferenceCollection saves the documentID under the document.
- Data is saved separately.
@objcMembers
class User: Object {
dynamic var name: String?
dynamic var followers: ReferenceCollection<User> = []
dynamic var items: NestedCollection<Item> = []
}
@objcMembers
class Item: Object {
dynamic var thumbnail: File?
}
let userA: User = User()
userA.name = "userA"
let userB: User = User()
userB.name = "userB"
let item: Item = Item()
item.thumbnail = File(data: JPEG_DATA, mimeType: .jpeg)
userA.followers.insert(userB)
userA.items.insert(item)
userA.save()
let item: Item = Item()
userA.items.insert(item)
userA.update() { error in
if let error = error {
// error handling
return
}
// do something
}
DataSource
DataSource is a class for easy handling of data retrieval from Collection.
class DataSourceViewController: UITableViewController {
var dataSource: DataSource<User>?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.dataSource = User.order(by: \User.createdAt).limit(to: 30).dataSource()
.on({ [weak self] (snapshot, changes) in
guard let tableView: UITableView = self?.tableView else { return }
switch changes {
case .initial:
tableView.reloadData()
case .update(let deletions, let insertions, let modifications):
tableView.beginUpdates()
tableView.insertRows(at: insertions.map { IndexPath(row: $0, section: 0) }, with: .automatic)
tableView.deleteRows(at: deletions.map { IndexPath(row: $0, section: 0) }, with: .automatic)
tableView.reloadRows(at: modifications.map { IndexPath(row: $0, section: 0) }, with: .automatic)
tableView.endUpdates()
case .error(let error):
print(error)
}
}).listen()
}
// MARK: - Table view data source
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return self.dataSource?.count ?? 0
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell: DataSourceViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "DataSourceViewCell", for: indexPath) as! DataSourceViewCell
configure(cell, atIndexPath: indexPath)
return cell
}
func configure(_ cell: DataSourceViewCell, atIndexPath indexPath: IndexPath) {
guard let user: User = self.dataSource?[indexPath.item] else { return }
cell.textLabel?.text = user.name
cell.disposer = user.listen { (user, error) in
cell.textLabel?.text = user?.name
}
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didEndDisplaying cell: DataSourceViewCell, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
cell.disposer?.dispose()
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, canPerformAction action: Selector, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath, withSender sender: Any?) -> Bool {
return true
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, commit editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if editingStyle == .delete {
self.dataSource?.removeDocument(at: indexPath.item)
}
}
}
SubCollection DataSource
User.get("USER_ID") { (user, error) in
guard let user: User = user else { return }
self.dataSource = user.followers.order(by: \User.createdAt).dataSource()
.on { (snapshot, changes) in
// something
}.listen()
}
Synchronous Client Side Join
@objcMembers
class User: Object {
let group: Reference<Group> = Reference()
}
Please add on(parse:)
to DataSource.
self.dataSource = User.order(by: \User.updatedAt).dataSource()
.on({ [weak self] (snapshot, changes) in
guard let tableView: UITableView = self?.tableView else { return }
debugPrint("On")
switch changes {
case .initial:
tableView.reloadData()
case .update(let deletions, let insertions, let modifications):
tableView.beginUpdates()
tableView.insertRows(at: insertions.map { IndexPath(row: $0, section: 0) }, with: .automatic)
tableView.deleteRows(at: deletions.map { IndexPath(row: $0, section: 0) }, with: .automatic)
tableView.reloadRows(at: modifications.map { IndexPath(row: $0, section: 0) }, with: .automatic)
tableView.endUpdates()
case .error(let error):
print(error)
}
})
.on(parse: { (snapshot, user, done) in
user.group.get({ (group, error) in
done(user)
})
})
.onCompleted({ (snapshot, users) in
debugPrint("completed")
})
.listen()
Query
Get documents
User.where(\User.name, isEqualTo: "name").get { (snapshot, error) in
print(snapshot?.documents)
}
Get SubCollections
WHERE
let user: User = User(id: "user_id")
user.items.where(\Item.name, isEqualTo: "item_name").get { (snapshot, error) in
print(snapshot?.documents)
}
ORDER
let user: User = User(id: "user_id")
user.items.order(by: \Item.updatedAt).get { (snapshot, error) in
print(snapshot?.documents)
}
Create DataSource from Query
let user: User = User(id: "user_id")
user.items
.where(\Item.name, isEqualTo: "item_name")
.dataSource()
.on({ (snapshot, change) in
// do something
})
.onCompleted { (snapshot, items) in
print(items)
}
Full-text search
Please use ElasticSearch or Algolia when performing full-text search on Firebase. There is a library when implementing with Swift.
