    public typealias PushClient = RLMPushClient
  • An object which is used within UserAPIKeyProviderClient

    Declaration

    Swift

    public typealias UserAPIKey = RLMUserAPIKey
  • App

    The App has the fundamental set of methods for communicating with a Realm application backend. This interface provides access to login and authentication.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public typealias App = RLMApp
  • Use this delegate to be provided a callback once authentication has succeed or failed

    Declaration

    Swift

    @available(macOS 10.15, watchOS 6.0, iOS 13.0, iOSApplicationExtension 13.0, macOSApplicationExtension 10.15, tvOS 13.0, *)
    public typealias ASLoginDelegate = RLMASLoginDelegate
  • A Dictionary object representing a BSON document.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public typealias Document = Dictionary<String, AnyBSON?>
  • MaxKey will always be the greatest value when comparing to other BSON types

    Declaration

    Swift

    public typealias MaxKey = RLMMaxKey
  • MinKey will always be the smallest value when comparing to other BSON types

    Declaration

    Swift

    public typealias MinKey = RLMMinKey
  • Object is a class used to define Realm model objects.

    In Realm you define your model classes by subclassing Object and adding properties to be managed. You then instantiate and use your custom subclasses instead of using the Object class directly.

    class Dog: Object {
        @Persisted var name: String
        @Persisted var adopted: Bool
        @Persisted var siblings: List<Dog>
    }
    

    Supported property types

    • String
    • Int, Int8, Int16, Int32, Int64
    • Float
    • Double
    • Bool
    • Date
    • Data
    • Decimal128
    • ObjectId
    • UUID
    • AnyRealmValue
    • Any RawRepresentable enum whose raw type is a legal property type. Enums must explicitly be marked as conforming to PersistableEnum.
    • Object subclasses, to model many-to-one relationships
    • EmbeddedObject subclasses, to model owning one-to-one relationships

    All of the types above may also be Optional, with the exception of AnyRealmValue. Object and EmbeddedObject subclasses must be Optional.

    In addition to individual values, three different collection types are supported:

    • List<Element>: an ordered mutable collection similar to Array.
    • MutableSet<Element>: an unordered uniquing collection similar to Set.
    • Map<String, Element>: an unordered key-value collection similar to Dictionary.

    The Element type of collections may be any of the supported non-collection property types listed above. Collections themselves may not be Optional, but the values inside them may be, except for lists and sets of Object or EmbeddedObject subclasses.

    Finally, LinkingObjects properties can be used to track which objects link to this one.

    All properties which should be stored by Realm must be explicitly marked with @Persisted. Any properties not marked with @Persisted will be ignored entirely by Realm, and may be of any type.

    Querying

    You can retrieve all objects of a given type from a Realm by calling the objects(_:) instance method.

    Relationships

    See our Cocoa guide for more details.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public typealias Object = RealmSwiftObject
  • EmbeddedObject is a base class used to define embedded Realm model objects.

    Embedded objects work similarly to normal objects, but are owned by a single parent Object (which itself may be embedded). Unlike normal top-level objects, embedded objects cannot be directly created in or added to a Realm. Instead, they can only be created as part of a parent object, or by assigning an unmanaged object to a parent object’s property. Embedded objects are automatically deleted when the parent object is deleted or when the parent is modified to no longer point at the embedded object, either by reassigning an Object property or by removing the embedded object from the List containing it.

    Embedded objects can only ever have a single parent object which links to them, and attempting to link to an existing managed embedded object will throw an exception.

    The property types supported on EmbeddedObject are the same as for Object, except for that embedded objects cannot link to top-level objects, so Object and List<Object> properties are not supported (EmbeddedObject and List<EmbeddedObject> are).

    Embedded objects cannot have primary keys or indexed properties.

    class Owner: Object {
        @Persisted var name: String
        @Persisted var dogs: List<Dog>
    }
    class Dog: EmbeddedObject {
        @Persisted var name: String
        @Persisted var adopted: Bool
        @Persisted(originProperty: "dogs") var owner: LinkingObjects<Owner>
    }
