JSON to realm object mapping issue iOS Swift

Question

creating new model object by passing a dictionary just like this

let article = Article(value: json)

the Article object is

import RealmSwift
import Foundation

class Article: Object {
   dynamic var id = 0

and i get this error every time

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'RLMException', reason: 'Invalid value '173' for property 'id''

Answer 1

(Disclaimer: I work for Realm)

That exception gets thrown if the data type of the item in the dictionary doesn't match the expected data type of the Realm property.

In this instance, I'm getting the feeling that id is coming down as a string (Is it in quotes in the JSON string?), so subsequently trying to map it to an integer property won't work.

If this isn't the case, please see if you can post a copy of your JSON string so we can see if we can work out better what's going on. Thanks!
