Library Usage

This library provides a lighweight boilerplate code for CoreData in objective-c.

The code below shows how to get instance of CoreDatabaseInterface

  [[CoreDataManager sharedManager] setupCoreDataWithKey:self.dbName storeKey:@"dbName" objectModelIdentifier:@"databaseIdentifier"];
    
    CoreDatabaseInterface* coreDatabaseInterface = [[CoreDataManager sharedManager] getCoreDataInterfaceForKey:@"dbName"];

CoreDataManager is a singleton class which holds instances of CoreDatabaseInterface in a dictionary against a key, which has to be same as database name. This ensures that two database of similar name are not created.

CoreDatabaseInterface has methods to return back

1. NSManagedObjectContext on private queue.
2. NSPersistentStoreCoordinator
3. NSManagedObjectModel

These methods can be used to carry out operations on CoreData.

Other than above, the CoreDatabaseInterface also provides

1. Serial Queue
2. Concurrent Queue, which can be used to run queries in serial or parallel.
