Breeze

Lightweight CoreData manager written in Swift

Breeze takes a lot of cues from both MagicalRecord and Nimble

• Lightweight and simple to setup and use
• 1 row of code to find first/any object in database
• iCloud support
• Simple architecture using only a main and a background context.

Install

Install using CocoaPods

pod "Breeze"

Then import <Breeze.h/Breeze.h> into your .pch file

Right now Swift does not work with CocoaPods, so download the files and include them manually... :-(

Setup

First, setup either a local or a iCloud store

if BreezeStore.iCloudAvailable() {
    BreezeStore.setupiCloudStoreWithContentNameKey("iCloudTestContentName", localStoreName: "iCloudTest", transactionLogs: "iCloud_transactions_logs")
} else {
    BreezeStore.setupStoreWithName("Test", type: NSSQLiteStoreType, options: [NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption: true, NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption: true])
}

Saving

BreezeStore.saveInBackground { contextType -> Void in
    let car = Car.createInContextOfType(contextType)
    car.color = UIColor.blueColor()
}

Finding

Find single objects by attribute

let car = Car.findFirst(attribute: "myAttribute", value: 1, contextType: BreezeContextType.Main)

or by predicate

let car = Car.findFirst(predicate: myPredicate, sortedBy: "anotherAttribute", ascending: false, contextType: BreezeContextType.Main)

Likewise, find all objects by attribute

let cars = Car.findAll(attribute: "myAttribute", value: 1, contextType: BreezeContextType.Main)

or by predicate

let cars = Car.findAll(predicate: myPredicate, sortedBy: "anotherAttribute", ascending: false, contextType: BreezeContextType.Main)

Counting

If you just need to count the objects of a query, use the countAll function

let carCount = Car.countAll(predicate: myPredicate, sortedBy: "anotherAttribute", ascending: false, contextType: BreezeContextType.Main)
