RestKit + MagicalRecord + Swift

RestKit is compatible to MagicalRecord, however it requires some sort of hack to get it working:

See: RKMagicalRecord / RKMRAppDelegate.m @ L15-L18

// Use a class extension to expose access to MagicalRecord's private  setter methods

@interface NSManagedObjectContext ()
+ (void)MR_setRootSavingContext:(NSManagedObjectContext *)context;
+ (void)MR_setDefaultContext:(NSManagedObjectContext *)moc;
@end

So they're using a somewhat hacky approach to acces the private MR_setRootSavingContext method.

I know that in swift I can define extensions, but then I have to implement them, how can I achieve the same workaround in swift.

Or more generally, how can I setup Magical Record to use the NSManagedObjectContext created by RestKit.

Solution

  • Simply (not good maybe) it's create a bridge file

    and add there

    @interface NSManagedObjectContext ()
+ (void)MR_setRootSavingContext:(NSManagedObjectContext *)context;
+ (void)MR_setDefaultContext:(NSManagedObjectContext *)moc;
@end
