JBCoreDataAgent

CoreDataAgent - Helps wrangle all core data methods into one tidy little package. Makes adding core data to an existing project very simple. Creates NSFetchRequests and NSFetchedResultsControllers, quickly and easily

To install

Cocoapods Visit cocoapods.org for installation instructions

Add this to your Podfile.

pod 'JBCoreDataAgent', git: "https://github.com/jbueler/JBCoreDataAgent", tag: '0.0.3'

Without cocoapods Download the .h & .m files. Add them to your project. Make sure you add the CoreData framework if you don't already have it in the project. You will also need a datamodel file, where your entities are setup.

To Do:

Add NSFetchRequest & NSFetchedResultsController management (create the ability to store multiple FRCs & FRs) within the CoreDataAgent.

Implementation

======== Once JBCoreDataAgent is included into the project and you have a DataModel.xcdatamodeld file with your entities described in it. You can import JBCoreDataAgent.h

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  // Allocate and initialize the CoreDataObject 
  JBCoreDataAgent *coreDataAgent = [[JBCoreDataAgent alloc] initWithStoreName:@"<#DataModel#>" andDelegate: <#NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate#>];
  
  //Create a NSFetchRequest
  NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [coreDataAgent fetchRequest:@"<#EntityName#>" andSort:@"<#entity_attribute_to_sort_by#>" ascending:<#true#>];
  
  // Once you have the fetchRequest you can either perform the fetch with it, or create a NSFetchedResultsController and perform the fetch that way.
  //Perform fetch with fetchRequest
  // NSArray *resultsArray = [coreDataAgent performFetchWithFetchRequest: fetchRequest];
  
  // OR       
  // Perform fetch with NSFetchedResultsController (Good when dealing with UITableViews)
  NSFetchedResultsController *frc = [coreDataAgent fetchedResultsControllerWithFetchRequest: fetchRequest];
  [coreDataAgent performFetchWithFetchResultsController: frc];

  // DO WHATEVER YOU WANT ... 

  return YES;
}
