fetchedResultsController Error - fatal error in code - ios

Question

Thanks for considering to help me! so I am getting this error in the console, How should I start going about fixing it?
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'An instance of NSFetchedResultsController requires a non-nil fetchRequest and managedObjectContext'
*** First throw call stack:

These are the two swift files relevant to my error:
EntryController.swift
import Foundation
import CoreData
class EntryController {
static let shared = EntryController()
var fetchResultsController: NSFetchedResultsController<Entry>
init() {
let request: NSFetchRequest<Entry> = Entry.fetchRequest()
let sortDescriptor = NSSortDescriptor(key: "timestamp", ascending: true)
request.sortDescriptors = [sortDescriptor]
fetchResultsController = NSFetchedResultsController(fetchRequest: request, managedObjectContext: CoreDataStack.context, sectionNameKeyPath: nil, cacheName: nil)
(try? fetchResultsController.performFetch())
}
//CRUD
func add(name: String, text: String) {
_ = Entry(name: name, text: text)
saveToPersistanceStorage()
}
func remove(entry: Entry) {
let moc = CoreDataStack.context
moc.delete(entry)
saveToPersistanceStorage()
}
func update(entry: Entry, name: String, text: String) {
entry.name = name
entry.text = text
saveToPersistanceStorage()
}
func saveToPersistanceStorage() {
let moc = CoreDataStack.context
(try? moc.save())
}
}
EntryTableListViewController.swift
import UIKit
import CoreData
class EntrylistTableViewController: UITableViewController, NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
EntryController.shared.fetchResultsController.delegate = self
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
guard let entries = EntryController.shared.fetchResultsController.fetchedObjects else {return 0}
return entries.count
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "entryCell", for: indexPath)
let entry = EntryController.shared.fetchResultsController.object(at: indexPath)
cell.textLabel?.text = entry.name
return cell
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, commit editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if editingStyle == .delete {
let entry = EntryController.shared.fetchResultsController.object(at: indexPath)
EntryController.shared.remove(entry: entry)
}
}
//MARK: NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate
func controller(_ controller: NSFetchedResultsController<NSFetchRequestResult>, didChange anObject: Any, at indexPath: IndexPath?, for type: NSFetchedResultsChangeType, newIndexPath: IndexPath?) {
switch type {
case .insert:
guard let newIndexPath = newIndexPath else {return}
tableView.insertRows(at: [newIndexPath], with: .automatic)
case .delete:
guard let indexPath = indexPath else {return}
tableView.deleteRows(at: [indexPath], with: .automatic)
case .move:
guard let indexPath = indexPath, let newIndexPath = newIndexPath else {return}
tableView.deleteRows(at: [indexPath], with: .automatic)
tableView.insertRows(at: [newIndexPath], with: .automatic)
case .update:
guard let indexPath = indexPath else {return}
tableView.reloadRows(at: [indexPath], with: .automatic)
}
}
// MARK: - Navigation
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
if segue.identifier == "toDetailSegue" {
if let detailVC = segue.destination as? EntryDetailViewController,
let selectedRow = tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow {
let entry = EntryController.shared.fetchResultsController.object(at: selectedRow)
detailVC.entry = entry
}
}
}
}
The app creates that error as soon as the button is pressed from the main menu to segue into the EntryTableListViewController.swift. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Additionally, here's my CoreDataStack code
import Foundation
import CoreData
enum CoreDataStack{
static let container: NSPersistentContainer = {
let appName = Bundle.main.object(forInfoDictionaryKey: (kCFBundleNameKey as String)) as! String
let container = NSPersistentContainer(name: appName)
container.loadPersistentStores() { (storeDescription, error) in
if let error = error as NSError? {
fatalError("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
}
}
return container
}()
static var context: NSManagedObjectContext { return container.viewContext }
}
