I'm testing Realm, but I cant find a easy way to convert my object to JSON. I need to push the data to my REST interface. How can I do it using swift?
class Dog: Object {
dynamic var name = ""
}
class Person : Object {
dynamic var name = ""
let dogs = List<Dog>()
}
I'm trying something like this, but I can't iterate unknown objects (List)
extension Object {
func toDictionary() -> NSDictionary {
let props = self.objectSchema.properties.map { $0.name }
var dicProps = self.dictionaryWithValuesForKeys(props)
var mutabledic = NSMutableDictionary()
mutabledic.setValuesForKeysWithDictionary(dicProps)
for prop in self.objectSchema.properties as [Property]! {
if let objectClassName = prop.objectClassName {
if let x = self[prop.name] as? Object {
mutabledic.setValue(x.toDictionary(), forKey: prop.name)
} else {
//problem here!
}
}
}
return mutabledic
}
}
**sorry for ugly code.
I think that I found the solution. I'm not reliant about performance.
extension Object {
func toDictionary() -> NSDictionary {
let properties = self.objectSchema.properties.map { $0.name }
let dicProps = self.dictionaryWithValuesForKeys(properties)
var mutabledic = NSMutableDictionary()
mutabledic.setValuesForKeysWithDictionary(dicProps)
for prop in self.objectSchema.properties as [Property]! {
if let objectClassName = prop.objectClassName {
if let nestedObject = self[prop.name] as? Object {
mutabledic.setValue(nestedObject.toDictionary(), forKey: prop.name)
} else if let nestedListObject = self[prop.name] as? ListBase {
var objects = [AnyObject]()
for index in 0..<nestedListObject._rlmArray.count {
if let object = nestedListObject._rlmArray[index] as? Object {
objects.append(object.toDictionary())
}
}
mutabledic.setObject(objects, forKey: prop.name)
}
}
}
return mutabledic
}
}
