IN my swift 5 code below the goal would be to fetch the first item from core data entity Info attribute username. I am attempting to d that right now I am getting a error at titleLabel.text = String(user![0]) stating
no exact matches in call to initializer
Somehow I know I will need to attach .username somehow but I dont know what to do next at this point.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var user : [User]? = nil
var titleLabel = UILabel()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
user = CoredataHandler.fetchObject()
titleLabel.text = String(user![0])
}
}
class CoredataHandler : NSManagedObject {
private class func getContext() -> NSManagedObjectContext {
let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
return appDelegate.persistentContainer.viewContext
}
class func saveObject(username: String,password: String,tf: Bool) -> Bool{
let context = getContext()
let entity = NSEntityDescription.entity(forEntityName: "User", in: context)
let managedObject = NSManagedObject(entity: entity!, insertInto: context)
managedObject.setValue(username, forKey: "username")
managedObject.setValue(password, forKey: "password")
managedObject.setValue(tf, forKey: "tf")
do {
try context.save()
return true
} catch{
return false
}
}
class func fetchObject() -> [User]?
{
let context = getContext()
var user : [User]? = nil
do {
user = try context.fetch(User.fetchRequest())
return user
} catch {
return user
}
}
}

No offense but your code is a mess.
And there is a big misunderstanding. Core Data records are unordered, there is no index. To update a record you have to fetch it by a known attribute, in your example by name, update it and save it back.
This is a simple method to do that. It searches for a record with the given name. If there is one, update the attribute with newName and save the record.
The code assumes that there is a NSManagedObject subclass UserInfo with implemented class method fetchRequest.
func changeName(_ name: String, to newName: String) {
let context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext
let request : NSFetchRequest<UserInfo> = UserInfo.fetchRequest()
request.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "name == %#", name)
do {
let records = try context.fetch(request)
guard let foundRecord = records.first else { return }
foundRecord.name = newName
try context.save()
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
Regarding your confusing code:
Create CoreDataHandler as singleton (and it must not be a subclass of NSManagedObject). Move the Core Data related code from AppDelegate and the methods to read and write in this class.
In my Swift code below the goal is to delete a binary data by the corresponding var Int. The var Int is called counterImage. My code right now is causing a runtime error of counterImage
'Cannot convert value of type 'Int' to expected argument type 'TheBook''
What can I do to fix this? All the code is right here. You would have to add the images but after that you can just copy and paste the code.
import UIKit;import CoreData
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var counterImage = 1
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let gwen = UIImage(named: "h")
if let imageData = gwen.self?.pngData() {
helpImage.shareInstance.saveImage(data: imageData)
}
let gwen2 = UIImage(named: "hh")
if let imageData = gwen2.self?.pngData() {
helpImage.shareInstance.saveImage(data: imageData)
}
helpImage.shareInstance.deleteObject(user: counterImage)
}
}
class helpImage: UIViewController{
private class func getContext() -> NSManagedObjectContext {
let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
return appDelegate.persistentContainer.viewContext
}
static let shareInstance = helpImage()
let context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext
func saveImage(data: Data) {
let imageInstance = TheBook(context: context)
imageInstance.pic = data
do {
try context.save()
} catch {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
}
func deleteObject(user: TheBook) {
let context = helpImage.getContext()
let delete = NSBatchDeleteRequest(fetchRequest: TheBook.fetchRequest())
do {
try context.execute(delete)
} catch {
}
}
}
In my swift code below the goal is to save a boolean value into core data. I am getting a compile error stating Thread 1: "Unacceptable type of value for attribute: property = "bool"; desired type = NSNumber; given type = __SwiftValue; value = true.". I don't know what to do next. I also added a photo of my core data attributes. I have 2 classes a base class and a helper class.
pic
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var user : [User]? = nil
CoredataHandler.saveObject(username: "Yahs", password: "213", bool: true)
}
class CoredataHandler : NSManagedObject {
private class func getContext() -> NSManagedObjectContext {
let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
return appDelegate.persistentContainer.viewContext
}
class func saveObject(username: String,password: String,bool: DarwinBoolean) -> Bool{
let context = getContext()
let entity = NSEntityDescription.entity(forEntityName: "User", in: context)
let managedObject = NSManagedObject(entity: entity!, insertInto: context)
managedObject.setValue(username, forKey: "username")
managedObject.setValue(password, forKey: "password")
managedObject.setValue(bool, forKey: "bool")
do {
try context.save()

My swift code saves 3 names to core data entity "username". I want to use uitextfield delegate to pull a specific string. So when the user enters 2 in the textfield. On the label labelName the name jessica Biel should appear. So the user enters a number into a textfield a string appears on the label. If number 1 is enter the 1st NSManagedObject into the core data entity userName. Link to project https://github.com/redrock34/jessicaBiel
import UIKit
import CoreData
class ViewController: UIViewController,uitextfielddele {
#IBOutlet var labelName : UILabel!
#IBOutlet var enterT : UITextField!
// MARK: Variables declearations
let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate //Singlton instance
var context:NSManagedObjectContext!
// MARK: View Controller life cycle methods
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
openDatabse()
}
// MARK: Methods to Open, Store and Fetch data
func openDatabse()
{
context = appDelegate.persistentContainer.viewContext
let entity = NSEntityDescription.entity(forEntityName: "Users", in: context)
let newUser = NSManagedObject(entity: entity!, insertInto: context)
let newUser2 = NSManagedObject(entity: entity!, insertInto: context)
let newUser3 = NSManagedObject(entity: entity!, insertInto: context)
saveData(UserDBObj: newUser, UserDBObj2: newUser2, UserDBObj3: newUser3)
}
func saveData(UserDBObj:NSManagedObject,UserDBObj2:NSManagedObject,UserDBObj3:NSManagedObject)
{
UserDBObj.setValue("kim kardashian", forKey: "username")
UserDBObj2.setValue("jessica biel", forKey: "username")
UserDBObj3.setValue("Hailey Rienhart", forKey: "username")
print("Storing Data..")
do {
try context.save()
} catch {
print("Storing data Failed")
}
fetchData()
}
func fetchData()
{
print("Fetching Data..")
let request = NSFetchRequest<NSFetchRequestResult>(entityName: "Users")
request.returnsObjectsAsFaults = false
do {
let result = try context.fetch(request)
for data in result as! [NSManagedObject] {
let userName = data.value(forKey: "username") as! String
print("User Name is : "+userName)
}
} catch {
print("Fetching data Failed")
}
}
}
First of all be aware that on each launch of the app the three records are inserted again and again so you'll get a bunch of duplicates.
As the names are apparently not related to any order add an unique identifier like an integer attribute index – or whatever name is reasonable – and then fetch the data with a predicate NSPredicate(format: "index == %ld", Int(enterT.text!) ?? 0).
You have to do that because Core Data saves the objects unordered.
My swift code below when loaded places 3 items in the core data entity named "UserName". When the user enters a number into textfield enterT I want the label labelName to display it. So when the user enters 1 the label should display jessica biel because Jesical Biel is the first name entered. Someone stated the suggestion below to solve this problem. I dont know exactly how to do this.I have added a gif below.
Convert the entered number to Int. If this succeeds pass the integer to joke and fetch the record matching the idx attribute.
https://github.com/redrock34/index-fetch
import UIKit
import CoreData
class ViewController: UIViewController,UITextFieldDelegate {
#IBOutlet var labelName : UILabel!
#IBOutlet var enterT : UITextField!
lazy var context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
openDatabse()
fetchData()
enterT.delegate = self
}
func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
guard let index = Int(textField.text!) else {
// display an alert about invalid text
return
}
joke(at: index - 1)
}
func joke(at index : Int) {
let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest<Users>(entityName: "Users")
fetchRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "idx == %d", Int32(index))
do {
if let user = try context.fetch(fetchRequest).first {
labelName.text = user.username
}
} catch {
print("Could not fetch \(error) ")
}
}
func openDatabse()
{
let names = ["kim kardashian", "jessica biel", "Hailey Rienhart"]
for i in 0..<names.count {
let newUser = Users(context: context)
newUser.username = names[i]
newUser.idx = Int32(i + 1)
}
print("Storing Data..")
do {
try context.save()
} catch {
print("Storing data Failed", error)
}
}
func fetchData()
{
print("Fetching Data..")
let request = NSFetchRequest<NSFetchRequestResult>(entityName: "Users")
request.returnsObjectsAsFaults = false
do {
let result = try context.fetch(request)
for data in result as! [NSManagedObject] {
let userName = data.value(forKey: "username") as! String
print("User Name is : "+userName)
}
} catch {
print("Fetching data Failed")
}
}}
Of course you have to assign values to the idx attribute and you have to assign the result of the fetch to the label.
First replace
let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate //Singlton instanc
var context:NSManagedObjectContext!
with
lazy var context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext
Then replace both openDatabse and saveData with
func openDatabse()
{
let names = ["kim kardashian", "jessica biel", "Hailey Rienhart"]
for i in 0..<names.count {
let newUser = Users(context: context)
newUser.name = names[i]
newUser.idx = Int32(i + 1)
}
print("Storing Data..")
do {
try context.save()
} catch {
print("Storing data Failed", error)
}
}
Finally add a line in joke to display the value
func joke(at index : Int) {
let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest<Users>(entityName: "Users")
fetchRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "idx == %d", Int32(index))
do {
if let user = try context.fetch(fetchRequest).first {
labelName.text = user.username
}
} catch {
print("Could not fetch \(error) ")
}
}
It creates the records and assigns the proper indexes. Then entering a number in the text field should work.
But – once again – on each launch of the app the 3 records are inserted again with the same names and indexes. Be aware of that!
