Delete Data from Coredata Swift


In my tableViewController I have the following. And I am trying to get delete an item to work.

var myData: Array<AnyObject> = []

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cellID: NSString = "Cell"
    var Cell: UITableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(cellID) as UITableViewCell
    var data: NSManagedObject = myData[indexPath.row] as NSManagedObject
    Cell.textLabel?.text = data.valueForKeyPath("Name") as? String

    return Cell
}

Then to try and delete I have.

override func tableView(tableView: (UITableView!), commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    if editingStyle == .Delete {
        let cellID: NSString = "Cell"
        var Cell: UITableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(cellID) as UITableViewCell
        var data: NSManagedObject = myData[indexPath.row] as NSManagedObject
        data.delete(0)

        // Delete the row from the data source
        //tableView!.deleteRowsAtIndexPaths([indexPath], withRowAnimation: .Fade)


    } else if editingStyle == .Insert {
        // Create a new instance of the appropriate class, insert it into the array, and add a new row to the table view
    }
}

Solution

  • Update on my coding issue with executing a delete of data in swift and coredata. This the code I ended up with that worked.

    override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
            switch editingStyle {
            case .Delete:
                // remove the deleted item from the model
                let appDel:AppDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as AppDelegate
                let context:NSManagedObjectContext = appDel.managedObjectContext!
                context.deleteObject(myData[indexPath.row] as NSManagedObject)
                myData.removeAtIndex(indexPath.row)
                context.save(nil)
    
               //tableView.reloadData()
                // remove the deleted item from the `UITableView`
                self.tableView.deleteRowsAtIndexPaths([indexPath], withRowAnimation: .Fade)
            default:
                return
    
            }
    }
    

    EDIT Above for Swift 2.2 and Xcode 7.3.1

    override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
        switch editingStyle {
        case .Delete:
            // remove the deleted item from the model
            let appDel:AppDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate
            let context:NSManagedObjectContext = appDel.managedObjectContext
            context.deleteObject(myData[indexPath.row] )
            myData.removeAtIndex(indexPath.row)
            do {
                try context.save()
            } catch _ {
            }
    
            // remove the deleted item from the `UITableView`
            self.tableView.deleteRowsAtIndexPaths([indexPath], withRowAnimation: .Fade)
        default:
            return
        }
    }
    

    Also need was these two lines of code to be corrected.

        var myData: Array<AnyObject> = []
    let managedObjectContext = (UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as AppDelegate).managedObjectContext
