  • Initialize a standalone (unpersisted) Object. Call add(_:) on a Realm to add standalone objects to a realm.

    See

    Realm().add(_:)

    Declaration

    Swift

    public required override init()
    Show on GitHub

  • Initialize a standalone (unpersisted) Object with values from an Array<AnyObject> or Dictionary<String, AnyObject>. Call add(_:) on a Realm to add standalone objects to a realm.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public init(value: AnyObject)

    Parameters

    value

    The value used to populate the object. This can be any key/value coding compliant object, or a JSON object such as those returned from the methods in NSJSONSerialization, or an Array with one object for each persisted property. An exception will be thrown if any required properties are not present and no default is set.

Properties

  • The Realm this object belongs to, or nil if the object does not belong to a realm (the object is standalone).

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var realm: Realm?
    Show on GitHub

  • The ObjectSchema which lists the persisted properties for this object.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var objectSchema: ObjectSchema
    Show on GitHub

  • Indicates if an object can no longer be accessed.

    An object can no longer be accessed if the object has been deleted from the containing realm or if invalidate is called on the containing realm.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public override var invalidated: Bool { return super.invalidated }
    Show on GitHub

  • Returns a human-readable description of this object.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public override var description: String { return super.description }
    Show on GitHub

  • Helper to return the class name for an Object subclass.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public final override var className: String { return "" }
    Show on GitHub

  • Undocumented

    Declaration

    Swift

    public class Object: RLMObjectBase

Object Customization

  • Override to designate a property as the primary key for an Object subclass. Only properties of type String and Int can be designated as the primary key. Primary key properties enforce uniqueness for each value whenever the property is set which incurs some overhead. Indexes are created automatically for primary key properties.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public class func primaryKey() -> String? { return nil }

    Return Value

    Name of the property designated as the primary key, or nil if the model has no primary key.

  • Override to return an array of property names to ignore. These properties will not be persisted and are treated as transient.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public class func ignoredProperties() -> [String] { return [] }

    Return Value

    Array of property names to ignore.

    Show on GitHub

  • Return an array of property names for properties which should be indexed. Only supported for string and int properties.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public class func indexedProperties() -> [String] { return [] }

    Return Value

    Array of property names to index.

Inverse Relationships

  • Get an Array of objects of type T which have this object as the given property value. This can be used to get the inverse relationship value for Object and List properties.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func linkingObjects<T: Object>(type: T.Type, forProperty propertyName: String) -> [T]

    Parameters

    type

    The type of object on which the relationship to query is defined.
    propertyName

    The name of the property which defines the relationship.

    Return Value

    An Array of objects of type T which have this object as their value for the propertyName property.

Equatable

  • Returns whether both objects are equal.

    Objects are considered equal when they are both from the same Realm and point to the same underlying object in the database.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public override func isEqual(object: AnyObject?) -> Bool

    Parameters

    object

    Object to compare for equality.
