UpdatePolicy

public enum UpdatePolicy : Int

What to do when an object being added to or created in a Realm has a primary key that already exists.

  • Throw an exception. This is the default when no policy is specified for add() or create().

    This behavior is the same as passing update: false to add() or create().

    Declaration

    Swift

    case error = 1
  • Overwrite only properties in the existing object which are different from the new values. This results in change notifications reporting only the properties which changed, and influences the sync merge logic.

    If few or no of the properties are changing this will be faster than .all and reduce how much data has to be written to the Realm file. If all of the properties are changing, it may be slower than .all (but will never result in more data being written).

    Declaration

    Swift

    case modified = 3
  • all

    Overwrite all properties in the existing object with the new values, even if they have not changed. This results in change notifications reporting all properties as changed, and influences the sync merge logic.

    This behavior is the same as passing update: true to add() or create().

    Declaration

    Swift

    case all = 2
