使用Parse.com在表视图控制器和详细视图控制器之间传递数据

Question

I have to pass data between table view controller and detail view controller, and I'm using Parse to load the data from backend, I have do this with local data, this is the source code:

Table view controller:

#import "RecipeBookViewController.h"
#import "RecipeDetailViewController.h"
#import "Recipe.h"

@interface RecipeBookViewController ()

@end

@implementation RecipeBookViewController {
    NSArray *recipes;

How can I do this using the Parse.com backend?

Answer 1

Assuming you have aa Recipe class in the Parse backend, you should be able simply replace the code in your initializer that creates the recipes with a Parse query to retrieve them instead. Something like the following (note I haven't exactly checked syntax):

PFQuery *recipeQuery = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:@"Recipe"];
[recipeQuery findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock:^(NSArray *objects, NSError *error) {
    if (!error) {
        self.recipes = <Map parse objects to Recipe objects here>;
    }
}];

If you map the returned Parse objects to Recipe objects, you shouldn't need to change any of the rest of your code, apart from dealing with the delay in loading content over the network (you'd probably want to display some kind of loading indicator to the user).

Alternatively, you could look into the PFQueryTableViewController , provided with Parse framework, which will probably do everything you need.
