Basic Usage

The following example illustrates how to utilize APCoreData for basic data operations.

import APCoreData

// Create an instance of APCoreDataStack
let coreDataStack = APCoreDataStack()

// Create a managed object context
let managedContext = coreDataStack.managedObjectContext

// Create an entity description for your data model
let entityDescription = NSEntityDescription.entity(forEntityName: "Person", in: managedContext)!

// Create a new managed object
let person = NSManagedObject(entity: entityDescription, insertInto: managedContext)

// Set attribute values
person.setValue("John", forKey: "name")
person.setValue(25, forKey: "age")

// Save changes
try? managedContext.save()

// Fetch existing data
let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest(entityName: "Person")
let persons = try? managedContext.fetch(fetchRequest)

// Perform operations on fetched data
for person in persons ?? [] {
  let name = person.value(forKey: "name") as? String
  let age = person.value(forKey: "age") as? Int
  print("Name: \(name ?? "Unknown"), Age: \(age ?? 0)")
}

Advanced Features

APCoreData provides several advanced features that enhance your experience with Core Data.

Batch Updates
