Global Variable not Retaining Content - ios

I have a global variable in my class called contacts initialized as - var contacts: [Name]
towards the top of my class. I am wondering why the array is not retaining the populated values. Where the array gets reset is in the comments in the code below.
func extractFromPhone()->[Name]{
swiftAddressBook?.requestAccessWithCompletion({ (success, error) -> Void in
if success {
if let people : [SwiftAddressBookPerson]? = swiftAddressBook?.allPeople {
for person in people! {
// Get Names
var name: Name = Name();
{
name.nickName = nickname;
}
if let fn = person.firstName
{
name.firstName = fn;
}
if let mn = person.middleName
{
name.middleName = mn;
}
if let ln = person.lastName
{
name.lastName = ln;
}
contacts.append(name);
}
}
}
else {
}
// contacts array properly filled here
})
// contacts array becomes empty here
}

how to update realm object based on the certain property in Realm?

I have products in my Realm database like this
I want to update my realm database based on productID, so I don't need to add another product over and over again. let say I want to update quantity of product that has productID = "a" to be 5.
I have tried to write something like this.
let selectedProductID = "a"
let productsInRealmDatabase = realm.objects(Product.self)
let productIndex = productsInRealmDatabase.index(where: {$0.productID == selectedProductID})
if let productIndex = productIndex {
do {
try realm.write {
var productRealm = productsInRealmDatabase[productIndex]
productRealm.quantity = 5
productsInRealmDatabase[productIndex] = productRealm // ERROR HERE
}
} catch {
// error Handling
}
}
but I got error in : productsInRealmDatabase[productIndex] = productRealm
Error Message: Cannot assign through subscript: subscript is get-only
so how to update realm object based on the certain property in Realm?
You should use Realm's own filter method which accepts an NSPredicate and returns an auto-updating Results instance rather than Swift's filter when operating on Realm collections. Than either update the properties of the fetched prouduct or create a new one and save that to Realm.
let selectedProductID = "a"
let productsInRealmDatabase = realm.objects(Product.self)
let matchingProduct = productsInRealmDatabase.filter("productID == %#", selectedProductID).first
if let matchingProduct = matchingProduct {
do {
try realm.write {
matchingProduct.quantity = 5
}
} catch {
// error Handling
}
} else {
let newProduct = Product()
newProduct.productID = selectedProductID
newProduct.quantity = 5
do {
try realm.write {
realm.add(newProduct)
}
} catch {
// error Handling
}
}
If you want your Products to be unique based on their productID property, you use also set productID as the primaryKey of your Object subclass.
class Product:Object {
#objc dynamic var productID = ""
...
override static func primaryKey() -> String? {
return "productID"
}
}
Try this -
let selectedProductID = "a"
let productsInRealmDatabase = realm.objects(Product.self)
let filteredProducts = productsInRealmDatabase.filter("productID = \(selectedProductID)")
do {
try realm.write {
filteredProducts.forEach { product in
product.quantity = 5
}
}
} catch {
// error Handling
}
While inserting data to your database inside the insert function mark update key as true and then try updating the value. eg:
static func insertData() {
//Your insertion code//
try! realm.write {
realm.add(request, update: true)
}
}
static func updateData(productId: String, quantity: Int) {
let product = self.getProductData(prodId: productId)
let realm = try! Realm()
try! realm.write {
product?.quantity = quantity
}
}
Hope this helps you out.

Add / Update custom object dictionaries array in swift 4

I have an array of dictionary with custom object in swift.
Now I am comparing the object for add & update.
The logic is as simple to add the data if not exist and update if any change in dictionary.
User is custom object type:
#objc public class User: NSObject , Mappable
from the getUserID i can able to get userID
The below code is execute in for loop from where i am passing User object.
var peopleList = [User]()
if self.peopleList.count > 0 {
if self.peopleList.contains(where: {$0.getUserID() == users.getUserID()})
{
// check for any update in dist
if let index = self.peopleList.index(of: users)
{
if users.isEqual(self.peopleList[index])
{
print("equal no updates")
}
else
{
print("need to updates objects..")
}
}
//already exist room
}
else
{
self.peopleList.append(users)
}
}
I know it may be related to equatable
so I am using below fuction
func isEqual<T: Equatable>(type: T.Type, a: Any, b: Any) -> Bool? {
guard let a = a as? T, let b = b as? T else { return nil }
return a == b
}
But I am getting index = nil.
Is there any idea or suggestion to solve it.
If any other way to do it efficiently them most welcome.
I think this simplified version should work
if self.peopleList.isEmpty, let user = self.peopleList.first(where: { $0.getUserID() == users.getUserID() }) {
if user == users {
// is equal
} else {
// do update
}
} else {
self.peopleList.append(users)
}

Error upon core data change processing

I am working on a coin collection app, and I have recently started integrating core data into my app. I have a core data database which stores custom CoinCategory objects and each CoinCategory object has an array of Coin objects. This way, my app stores everything in terms of categories.
When I integrated the core data, I can add my first category without any errors and delete it without any problems, but when I add in a second coin category, I experience the following error:
2017-06-26 09:55:37.218 CoinCollection[18889:12839563] -[CoinCollection.CoinCategory compare:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x608000236cc0
2017-06-26 09:55:37.219215-0400 CoinCollection[18889:12839563] [error] error: Serious application error. Exception was caught during Core Data change processing. This is usually a bug within an observer of NSManagedObjectContextObjectsDidChangeNotification. -[CoinCollection.CoinCategory compare:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x608000236cc0 with userInfo (null)
CoreData: error: Serious application error. Exception was caught during Core Data change processing. This is usually a bug within an observer of NSManagedObjectContextObjectsDidChangeNotification. -[CoinCollection.CoinCategory compare:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x608000236cc0 with userInfo (null)
Could anyone please advise me on how to fix this? Thank you very much!
I am attaching my code below for my viewcontroller and the app delegate that is running the core data.
AppDelegate.swift
// We customize the app, system-wide
import UIKit
import CoreData
#UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
// MARK: - Core Data stack
lazy var persistentContainer: NSPersistentContainer = {
let container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "CoinCollection")
container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (storeDescription,
error) in
if let error = error as NSError? {
fatalError("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
}
})
return container
}()
// MARK: - Core Data Saving support
func saveContext ()
{
let context = persistentContainer.viewContext
if context.hasChanges
{
do
{
try context.save()
}
catch
{
// Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
// fatalError() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate.
//You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
let nserror = error as NSError
fatalError("Unresolved error \(nserror), \(nserror.userInfo)")
}
}
}
}
And then for my view controller. Notice that I get a Coin object from a sub-viewcontroller that invokes this method, and that we decide whether the Coin object fits into the existing categories. If not, then we add the new Coin.
// Controls the table view controller showing the general coins (one per each category)

It looks like the problem is that your CoinCategory class does not implement the compare: method:
[CoinCollection.CoinCategory compare:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x608000236cc0
My guess is that the FRC is trying to compare the coinCategory attribute of the second CoinCategoryMO to the coinCategory attribute of the first CoinCategoryMO in order to get them in the correct order (since your FRC is sorted using the coinCategory attribute).
So the direct answer is that you need to implement a compare: method for your CoinCategory class. But I think this is just an indicator that you need to change your approach. Rather than having an Entity with attributes that are custom objects (or collections thereof), you should probably aim to have multiple Entities (eg. a CoinMO entity, a CoinCategoryMO entity, a CoinCategoryTypeMO entity, etc) with to-many relationships between them. If you show the code for your custom objects (Coin and CoinCategory) it will be easier to advise how best to model them in CoreData.

How to manipulate iOS contacts with SwiftAddressBook?

I'm trying to get all the users contacts and see if they are already singed up in the backend. I'm trying first to get all the contacts using SwiftAddressBook and then I want to edit all the phone numbers and add country code to phone number.
I made this function but it doesn't work, it's only showing phone numbers.
SwiftAddressBook.requestAccessWithCompletion({ (success, error) -> Void in
if success {
if let people = swiftAddressBook?.allPeople {
for person in people {
var phonenumber = String (person.phoneNumbers?.map({$0.value}))
print(phonenumber.characters.last)
if phonenumber.characters.first == "0" {
phonenumber = phonenumber.stringByReplacingCharactersInRange(phonenumber.startIndex..<phonenumber.startIndex.successor(), withString: "+33")
}
print(phonenumber)
}
}
}
else {
print("Fail")
}
})
Well, in first, you should call swiftAddressBook.save() to save the current state of the address book. In second, you are changing a local string variable, which will not affect the address book state. It appears SwiftAddressBook will only make changes to the contacts if you change phoneNumbers array. This should work:
SwiftAddressBook.requestAccessWithCompletion({ (success, error) -> Void in
if success {
if let people = swiftAddressBook?.allPeople {
for person in people {
if let phoneNumbers = person.phoneNumbers {
var phoneNumbersChanged = false
var newPhoneNumbers = [MultivalueEntry<String>]()
for var phonenumber in phoneNumbers {
if phonenumber.value.characters.first == "0" {
phonenumber.value = phonenumber.value.stringByReplacingCharactersInRange(phonenumber.value.startIndex..<phonenumber.value.startIndex.successor(), withString: "+33")
newPhoneNumbers.append(MultivalueEntry(value: phonenumber.value, label: phonenumber.label, id: phonenumber.id))
phoneNumbersChanged = true
} else {
newPhoneNumbers.append(phonenumber)
}
print(phonenumber.value)
}
if phoneNumbersChanged {
person.phoneNumbers = newPhoneNumbers
}
}
}
swiftAddressBook.save()
}
}
else {
print("Fail")
}
})

Loop through Realm Object fields in Swift

I have a Realm Object
class CoursesModel: Object {
dynamic var courseName = ""
dynamic var par3Field = 0
dynamic var par4Field = 0
dynamic var par5Field = 0
}
When somebody enters the course name I want to check whether it already exists before writing it to Realm.
Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong because it doesn't seem to loop through.
class func compareCourse(name : String) -> Bool {
let c = name
do
{
let realm = try Realm()
let course = realm.objects(CoursesModel)
for course in course {
if course == c {
print("course = \(course)")
print("c = \(c)")
return true
}
else {
return false
}
}
}
catch
{
// return nil
}
return false
}
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
EDIT - WORKING CODE HERE
class func compareCourse(name : String) -> Bool {
let c = name
do
{
let realm = try Realm()
let course = realm.objects(CoursesModel)
for course in course {
let a = course.courseName
print("Model Course = \(a)")
print("Passed Course = \(c)")
if a == c {
return true
}
}
}
catch
{
// return nil
}
return false
}
You are returning in both branches of the loop, which immediately exits out of the function. You do not want to return false on the first failure, but only after all have failed (I think).
