Aim :
To be able to display the days selected and the time picked by the user in the same row of the table view. The time should appear at the top and the days selected should appear at the bottom, both in the same row, just like an alarm clock.
Work :
This is the relationship I've got setup :

and this is how I save the days that are selected from a UITable and the time from a UIDatepicker when the save button is tapped :
@IBAction func saveButnTapped(_ sender: AnyObject)
{
let context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext //creates an object of a property in AppDelegate.swift so we can access it
let bob = Bob(context: context)
//save the time from UIDatePicker to core data
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "HH:mm"
bob.timeToPing = dateFormatter.string(from: timePicked.date)
// save the days selected to core data
for weekday in filteredWeekdays
{
var day = Days(context: context) //create new Days object
day.daysSelected = weekday as NSObject? //append selected weekday
bob.addToTimeAndDaysLink(day) //for every loop add day object to bob object
}
//Save the data to core data
(UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).saveContext()
//after saving data, show the first view controller
navigationController!.popViewController(animated: true)
}
Now that the data is once saved, I get the data :
func getData()
{
let context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext
do
{
bobs = try context.fetch(Bob.fetchRequest())
}
catch
{
print("Fetching failed")
}
}
Attempt to get the days selected :
I tried to follow this, the below comments and a formerly deleted answer to this question to do this :
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
{
let cell = UITableViewCell()
let bob = bobs[indexPath.row]
cell.textLabel?.text = bob.timeToPing?.description
// retrieve the days that are selected
var daysArray: [Days] = []
daysArray = bob.timeAndDaysLink?.allObjects as! [Days]
for days in daysArray
{
print (days.daysSelected?.description)
cell.textLabel?.text = days.daysSelected! as! String
}
return cell
}
EDIT :
print(daysArray) gives this :
[<Days: 0x6080000a5880> (entity: Days; id: 0xd000000000040000 <x-coredata://30B28771-0569-41D3-8BFB-D2E07A261BF4/Days/p1> ; data: <fault>)]
print(daysArray[0]) gives this :
<Days: 0x6080000a5880> (entity: Days; id: 0xd000000000040000 <x-coredata://30B28771-0569-41D3-8BFB-D2E07A261BF4/Days/p1> ; data: <fault>)
How to save days
let weekdays = ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"]
var filteredWeekdays: [String] = []
@NSManaged public var daysSelectedbyUser: NSSet
And then
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath)
{
selectedWeekdays()
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didDeselectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath)
{
selectedWeekdays()
}
func selectedWeekdays()
{
if let selectedRows = tableView.indexPathsForSelectedRows
{
let rows = selectedRows.filter {$0.section == 0}.map{ $0.row}
filteredWeekdays = rows.map{ weekdays[$0] }
print(filteredWeekdays)
}
}
Many thanks!
salawaatwithbob? Where is What's the objects inbobs? What'sbobs = try context.fetch(Bob.fetchRequest())?boband the EXACT error or warning message you get?bob.timeAndDaysLinkthat's a NSSet ofDaysobject, not aNSSetof String object, that's why you have the cast issue.daysArray = bob.timeAndDaysLink?.allObjects.valueFor(key:"daysSelected")instead?
