I am still having problems understanding the correct way of handling deeper pointer structure in parse.
Example:
Card has pointer to CardSet
CardSet has pointers to Lesson and User
Lets say, I want to have all CardSets including
Can I query all this in just one query? And have the data available without any additional fetchIfNeededInBackgroundWithBlock
queries?
I know that I can get the Lesson with
var query = PFQuery(className: "CardSet")
query.whereKey("user", equalTo: PFUser.currentUser())
query.includeKey("lesson")
But that gives me only the lesson object, I can not access any data (like the col "name") from this class unless I use fetchIfNeededInBackgroundWithBlock
what takes another query and of course more time to load.
What can I do to have all queried data
including all pointers columns
in order to pin this data to the local datastore with
PFObject.pinAllInBackground(objects, block: nil)
And not to forget, how can I query the number of cards related to the CardSet?
First I would recommend subclassing in Parse, it makes relationships between tables (pointers etc) clearer. How to subclass the PFObjects you can explore this guide on parse
How to query the number of cards in CardSet
You need the CardSet from which you want the cards. (PFObject or subclassed PFObject). Then just do this:
var query = PFQuery(classname: "cards")
query.whereKey("CardSet", equalTo: yourCardSetObject)
//Synchronously
query.findObjects().count
//Asynchronously
query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock({
(objects, error) in
if error != nil {
println(error.localizedDescription)
return
}
objects.count
})
How to get the name of the lesson
As I said, it's recommended to subclass the PFObjects because you need to cast the objects what isn't really funny to debug and is horrible code. I did it that way:
var query = PFQuery(className: "CardSet")
query.whereKey("user", equalTo: PFUser.currentUser())
query.includeKey("lesson")
query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock({
(objects, error) in
if error != nil {
println(error.localizedDescription)
return
}
for object in objects as? [PFObject] {
var lesson = object["lesson"] as PFObject
println(lesson["name"])
}
})
