Write to a Parse column after query - Swift - ios

How can I use a query to find the currentUser from a Parse Class and then write data into that user columns?
var query = PFQuery(className:"User")
query.whereKey("objectId", equalTo:PFUser.currentUser()!)
query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {
(objects: [AnyObject]?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if error == nil {
// The find succeeded.
println("Successfully retrieved \(objects!.count) scores.")
// Do something with the found objects
if let objects = objects as? [PFObject] {
for object in objects {
println(object.objectId)
}
}
} else {
// Log details of the failure
println("Error: \(error!) \(error!.userInfo!)")
}
}

Change this line
query.whereKey("objectId", equalTo:PFUser.currentUser()!)
To:
query.whereKey("objectId", equalTo:PFUser.currentUser().objectId)
And also if you are querying from the parse user class it should be _User not User
To Only save data
var ObjectToSave = PFObject(className: "_User")
ObjectToSave["raw"] = "whateveryoulike"
ObjectToSave["UserId"] = PFUser.currentUser()?.objectId // this piece of code is when you create a new class
ObjectToSave.saveInBackgroundWithBlock { (success:Bool, error:NSError?) -> Void in
if error == nil{
println("data was saved")
}
else
{
println("error")
}
}
}
I don't think it is a good idea to save other data into the _User class, you should leave this class for the login or sign up. You should create a new class then save all new data with the userid...

you don't need to query for the current user.
Use this
var user = PFUser.currentUser()
user["one"] = "whateveryoulike"
user["two"] = "whateveryoulike"
user.saveInBackgroundWithBlock { (success:Bool, error:NSError?) -> Void in
if error == nil{
println("data was saved")
}
else
{
println("error")
}
}
}

How to delete object from Parse via PFQuery

I am trying to delete an object from the class UserRequests via swift only if the object belongs to the current user, and that requestResponded is not equal to true. However, I get an error at objects.deleteInBackground() and the function still doesn't work when I remove this line.
func deleteRequest(){
let check = PFQuery(className: "UserRequests")
check.whereKey("requestResponded", equalTo: "True")
let query = PFQuery(className: "UserRequests")
query.whereKey("username", equalTo: (PFUser.currentUser()?.objectForKey("username") as! String))
query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock({ (objects, error) -> Void in
if objects != nil && error == nil{
// Successfully retrieved the object
check.getFirstObjectInBackgroundWithBlock {
(object: PFObject?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if error != nil || object == nil {
print("Not accepted.")
object!.deleteInBackground()
objects.deleteInBackground()
} else {
print("Successfully retrieved the object.")
}
}
}else{
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("requestAccepted", sender: self)
}
})
}
It is because objects is an list of object. You should only delete object 1 by 1.
For example:
for object in objects {
object.deleteInBackground()
}
Also, because two queries belong to same class. I would suggest using 1 query
UPDATE
func deleteRequest(){
let query = PFQuery(className: "UserRequests")
// the key "requestResponded" is not True
query.whereKey("requestResponded", equalTo: "False")
// for deleting the object is that it belongs to the current user
query.whereKey("username", equalTo (PFUser.currentUser()?.objectForKey("username") as! String))
query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock({ (objects, error) -> Void in
if error != nil{
print(error)
}
// objects are those the key "requestResponded" is not True and belongs to the current user
for object in objects {
object.deleteInBackground()
}
// other case
if objects.count == 0 { // no match result found
}
})
}
I guess you still miss the condition of when to perform segue

Parse.com How to get all user's related data

I have an app where I'm trying to load a User and all his related data. In the relations I have BodyTracking as one relation. Another is DiaryWeek, which in turn has DiaryDays (of the week).
I successfully pulled all the BodyTracking, but when I try the same for the DiaryWeeks, I get an error saying that I have to wait. I guess what is happening is that the BodyTracking, which is requested with 'findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock' is still going on when the DiaryWeek request is called.
Is there a way to pull all the data in one go?
// Body Tracking
bodyEntries.removeAll()
let trackingQuery = PFQuery(className: "BodyTracking")
trackingQuery.whereKey("user", equalTo: member)
trackingQuery.orderByDescending("trackingDate")
trackingQuery.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {
(objects: [PFObject]?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if error == nil {
print("Successfully retrieved \(objects!.count) body entries.")
if let objects = objects! as? [PFObject] {
for object in objects {
let bodyEntry = BodyTracking(object: object)
self.bodyEntries.append(bodyEntry)
}
self.bodyTrackingTableView.reloadData()
}
} else {
// Log details of the failure
print("Error: \(error!) \(error!.userInfo)")
}
}
// Food Diary
foodWeeks.removeAll()
let diaryQuery = PFQuery(className: "FoodDiaryWeek")
diaryQuery.whereKey("user", equalTo: member)
diaryQuery.orderByDescending("weekStartDate")
trackingQuery.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {
(objects: [PFObject]?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if error == nil {
print("Successfully retrieved \(objects!.count) food weeks")
if let objects = objects! as? [PFObject] {
for object in objects {
let foodWeek = FoodDiaryWeek(object: object)
self.foodWeeks.append(foodWeek)
}
}
} else {
// Log details of the failure
print("Error: \(error!) \(error!.userInfo)")
}
}
Error message: This query has an outstanding network connection. You have to wait until it's done.
It looks like you are accidentally executing the trackingQuery twice. The diaryQuery is never executed. Maybe a copy/paste error (?)
// Food Diary
foodWeeks.removeAll()
let diaryQuery = PFQuery(className: "FoodDiaryWeek")
diaryQuery.whereKey("user", equalTo: member)
diaryQuery.orderByDescending("weekStartDate")
**trackingQuery**.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {
replace trackingQuery by diaryQuery

Retrieving data from User Class through a Pointer

I have a class named Post which stored the data of Image, Text and the upLoader.
The uploader is link or a pointer to the User class.
When I was testing
When the current user is equal to the user which is pointed, everything is good. However, when the current user is not equal to the uploader, I cannot got the data from the uploader such as username and email. The only data I could retrieve is [ {
}]
Code of Query
let query = PFQuery(className:"Post")
query.orderByDescending("createdAt")
query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {
(objects: [PFObject]?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if error == nil {
print("Successfully retrieved \(objects!.count) scores.")
if let objects = objects! as [PFObject]! {
for object in objects {
self.message.append(object["message"] as! String)
self.imageFiles.append(object["imageFile"] as! PFFile)
self.user.append(object["upLoader"] as! PFUser )
self.createdAT.append(object.createdAt!)
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
}
} else {
print("Error: \(error!) \(error!.userInfo)")
}
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
By default, Parse queries don't include the actual objects that are referenced by pointers, so your upLoader is just a reference to the object ID, not the actual object. To include the actual object, you just need to add includeKey to your query. For example:
let query = PFQuery(className:"Post")
query.includeKey("upLoader") // This should do the trick.
query.orderByDescending("createdAt")
query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {
(objects: [PFObject]?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if error == nil {
print("Successfully retrieved \(objects!.count) scores.")
if let returnedObjects = objects {
for object in returnedObjects {
self.message.append(object["message"] as! String)
self.imageFiles.append(object["imageFile"] as! PFFile)
self.user.append(object["upLoader"] as! PFUser )
self.createdAT.append(object.createdAt!)
dispach_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), { () -> Void in
//UI stuff need to be on main thread
self.tableView.reloadData()
})
}
}
} else {
print("Error: \(error!) \(error!.userInfo)")
}
}

how to get the currentUserInfo from _User class in Parse using Swift

I tried this:
var data:NSMutableArray = NSMutableArray()
func loadData() {
var userQuery = PFUser.query()!
userQuery.whereKey("objectId", equalTo: PFUser.currentUser()!.objectId!)
userQuery.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock { (objects, error) -> Void in
if let objects = objects {
for object in objects {
self.data.addObject(object)
}
}
}
println(data) // this gives an empty NSMutableArray.
}
Is there any other way to get the data of current user? , I am doing this to make the profile Screen of the current user..Thanks for your time..
Use this to access the current user
if PFUser.currentUser() != nil {
PFUser.currentUser()!.fetchIfNeededInBackgroundWithBlock({ (user: PFObject?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if user != nil {
var u = user as! PFUser
//Access the fetched user HERE
}
})
//NOT here, it will be nil here
}

Issues with changing existing Parse data

I am working with Parse for the first time in my application, and everything seems to be working well with the exception of when I go to change existing data. I am simply trying to change a string value that I have stored in a column of one of my items.
This is the code I currently have:
func sendTimeToParse() {
var query = PFQuery(className: "ClassName")
query.whereKey("Name", equalTo: rideNamePassed)
query.getFirstObjectInBackgroundWithBlock {
(object: PFObject?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if error != nil {
println("The getFirstObject request failed.")
} else {
// The find succeeded.
let object = PFObject(className: "ClassName")
object.setValue(self.timeSelected, forKey: "WaitTime")
object.saveInBackground()
println("Successfully retrieved the object.")
}
}
}
}
At the moment it just seems to create a new row of data and saves the time to that, however obviously I would like it to change the existing data in whatever row matches the name of the current record.
Anyone have any suggestions?
The problem is that you are creating a new PFObject with the line let object = PFObject(className: "ClassName") instead of using the retrieved object which is given as a parameter.
Simply delete the line let object = PFObject(className: "ClassName") and unwrap the received optional. It could look something like the following:
func sendTimeToParse() {
var query = PFQuery(className: "ClassName")
query.whereKey("Name", equalTo: rideNamePassed)
query.getFirstObjectInBackgroundWithBlock {
(object: PFObject?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if error != nil {
println("The getFirstObject request failed.")
} else {
if let obj = object {
obj.setValue(self.timeSelected, forKey: "WaitTime")
obj.saveInBackground()
}
println("Successfully retrieved the object.")
}
}
}
