new to parse, I went through documentation yet I am not grasping the concept of relations...
I have a 1 to Many relation (product -> many color variations).
On parse, under my class "product" I have the following columns: Brand, Size, Price, Color.
The color cell is a relation that hooks to a "color" class, which contains: Color_Name, Color_Image(as a file).
How do i access the color_name & color_image? I am using the code below, but am returning nil.
func searchCategoryItems(){
categoryType = "basketball"
let query:PFQuery = PFQuery(className: "products")
query.includeKey("color")
let productQuery = query.whereKey("type", equalTo:self.categoryType)
productQuery.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {
(objects, error) -> Void in
for object in objects! {
let brandName:String? = (object as PFObject)["brand"] as? String
let itemName:String? = (object as PFObject)["item_name"] as? String
let sku:String? = (object.objectId! as String)
let colors:String? = (object as PFObject)["color_name"] as? String
if colors != nil{
self.productColorArray.append(colors!)
print("colors work?", colors)
}
if brandName != nil {
self.productBrandArray.append(brandName!)
}
if itemName != nil{
self.productItemNameArray.append(itemName!)
}
if sku != nil{
self.productSkuArray.append(sku!)
}
}
self.searchTableView.reloadData()
}
self.searchTableView.insertRowsAtIndexPaths([NSIndexPath(forRow:0,inSection:0)], withRowAnimation: UITableViewRowAnimation.Automatic)
}
}
This is what my parse dashboard is se up like:
You need to do an additional relational query.
let product = ...//specify a product. e.g. object in objects
let relation = product.relationForKey("color")
let innerQuery = relation.query()
//then executing the innerQuery
