Notifications

  • Register a block to be called each time the collection changes.

    The block will be asynchronously called with the initial collection, and then called again after each write transaction which changes the collection or any of the items in the collection. You must retain the returned token for as long as you want updates to continue to be sent to the block. To stop receiving updates, call stop() on the token.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func addNotificationBlock(block: (AnyRealmCollection<Element>?, NSError?) -> ()) -> NotificationToken

    Parameters

    block

    The block to be called each time the collection changes.

    Return Value

    A token which must be held for as long as you want notifications to be delivered.
