Other Classes

The following classes are available globally.

  • AsyncBox is a class that lets you asynchronously perform basic database write operations. Your program can just fire off these operations and forget about them, and they’ll be executed for you on a background thread, without blocking your UI or the like until writes have completed.

    Important

    AsyncBox does not report errors that occur in asynchronous execution.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public class AsyncBox<E: EntityInspectable & __EntityRelatable>
    where E == E.EntityBindingType.EntityType
  • Combine publisher for an ObjectBox box. You obtain an instance of this type via the publisher property on Box.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @available(macOS 10.15, iOS 13.0, tvOS 13.0, watchOS 6.0, *)
    public class BoxPublisher<E>: Publisher
    where E: EntityInspectable & __EntityRelatable, E.EntityBindingType.EntityType == E
  • Combine publisher for an ObjectBox query. You obtain an instance of this type via the publisher property on Query.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @available(macOS 10.15, iOS 13.0, tvOS 13.0, watchOS 6.0, *)
    public class QueryPublisher<E>: Publisher
    where E: EntityInspectable & __EntityRelatable, E.EntityBindingType.EntityType == E
  • Class used together with ModelBuilder by the code generator to specify the fields and their indexes in an entity. Typical usage is:

    let eBuilder = mBuilder.entityBuilder(for: MyEntity.self, id: 1, uid: 1001)
    eBuilder.addProperty(name: "id", type: .long, flags: [.id, .unsigned], id: 1, uid: 1001)
    eBuilder.addProperty(name: "userName", type: .string, id: 2, uid: 1002)
    eBuilder.lastProperty(id: 2, uid: 1002)
    

    and so on. Note that there may be only one EntityBuilder in existence at any one time. It is currently not supported to use a previous EntityBuilder after creating a new one using ModelBuilder‘s entityBuilder() method. See ModelBuilder for more.

    You usually don’t have to deal with this class.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public class EntityBuilder<T>
  • Used by the code generator to associate a Swift class with its counterpart in the model of the ObjectBox database.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public class EntityInfo
  • Class used by the code generator to create a model for your Store. Typical usage is:

    let mBuilder = ModelBuilder()
    let eBuilder = mBuilder.entityBuilder(for: myEntityInfo, id: 1, uid: 1001)
    // ... set up the entity here
    mBuilder.lastEntity(id: 1, uid: 1001)
    mBuilder.lastIndex(id: 0, uid: 0) // This example model has no indexes.
    let model = mBuilder.finish()
    // create new Store using the model
    

    See EntityBuilder documentation for details.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public class PropertyBuilder
  • Used by generated Swift code to get properties from an entity to store them.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public class FlatBufferBuilder
  • An opaque object that serves as a reference to a change subscription on a Box or Query. Keep a strong reference to this object (in a property or a global) as long as you want to receive callbacks. Let this object deinit to cancel your subscription.

    You obtain an Observer from one of a Box‘s or Query’s subscribe() methods.

    Swift

    public class Observer
  • Wraps the ID of a matching object and a score when using findIdsWithScores(offset:limit:).
