Kuery
Kuery, a type-safe Core Data query API using Swift 4's Smart KeyPaths. Inspired and borrowed a lot of things from QueryKit and RealmEx.
Requirements
Kuery is written in Swift 4.
Installation
CocoaPods
Kuery is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
pod 'Kuery'Carthage
For Carthage, add the following to your Cartfile:
github "kishikawakatsumi/Kuery"
Description
Kuery provides type safety, code completion and avoidance of typos against NSPredicate queries.
Before
NSPredicate(format: "name == %@", "Katsumi")
NSPredicate(format: "age > %@", 20)After
Query(Person.self).filter(\Person.name == "Katsumi")
Query(Person.self).filter(\Person.age > 20)The following code should be a compile error.
Query(Person.self).filter(\Person.name > 20) // Compile error
Query(Person.self).filter(\Dog.name == "John") // Compile errorUsage
context.perform {
let results = try Query(Person.self)
.filter(\Person.name == "Katsumi")
.execute()
}context.perform {
let results = try Query(Person.self)
.filter(\Person.age == 36)
.execute()
}context.perform {
let results = try Query(Person.self)
.filter(\Person.age > 20)
.execute()
}context.perform {
let results = try Query(Person.self)
.filter(\Person.name == "Katsumi")
.filter(\Person.age == 36)
.execute()
}context.perform {
let results = try Query(Dog.self)
.filter(\Dog.owner == person)
.execute()
}Feature request for Swift Standard Library
It requires a string representation of KeyPath to construct NSPredicate from KeyPath. However, the API is not officially visible currently. The feature request is tracked at SR-5220.
