I want to update Core Data records. First, I searched if that record existed. if it exist, it needs to be updated if not a new record is created.
Finally a Post instance should be returned.
I don't know how to update it with setValue and how to return a post instance. Because I initialized the post instance with this line of code:
post = NSEntityDescription.insertNewObjectForEntityForName()
And I don't know how to do this for the updating one.
class Post: NSManagedObject {
}
var post: Post!
private static func postFromJSONObject(json: [String:AnyObject], inContext context: NSManagedObjectContext) -> Post? {
.
.
.
let coreDataStack = CoreDataStack(modelName: "ProjectPart1")
let mainQueueContext = coreDataStack.mainQueueContext
let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest(entityName: "Post")
fetchRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "id = %@", "\(postID)")
do {
let foundRecordsArray = try! mainQueueContext.executeFetchRequest(fetchRequest) as! [Post]
if foundRecordsArray.count > 0 {
//here is where I should update Core Data!
} else{
context.performBlockAndWait() {
post = NSEntityDescription.insertNewObjectForEntityForName("Post", inManagedObjectContext: context) as! Post
post.title = postTitle
post.body = postBody
post.id = postID
post.userId = postUserID
}
}
} catch {
print("error")
}
return post
}
I tried this one but it didn't work either.
if foundRecordsArray.count > 0 {
var res = foundRecordsArray[0] as NSManagedObject
res.setValue(postID, forKey: "id")
res.setValue(postUserID, forKey: "userId")
res.setValue(postTitle, forKey: "title")
res.setValue(postBody, forKey: "body")
post = res as! Post
}
Error:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[ProjectPart1.Post title]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7f8e5180e0b0'

fetchRequest.fetchLimit = 1
var post:Post!
if let foundRecordsArray = try? mainQueueContext.executeFetchRequest(fetchRequest), foundRecordsArray.count > 0
{
post = foundRecordsArray[0]
} else{ // Create new
post = NSEntityDescription.insertNewObjectForEntityForName("Post", inManagedObjectContext: context) as! Post
}
post.title = postTitle
post.body = postBody
post.id = postID
post.userId = postUserID
