MutablePersistable

public protocol MutablePersistable : TableMapping

Types that adopt MutablePersistable can be inserted, updated, and deleted.

This protocol is intented for types that have an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, and are interested in the inserted RowID: they can mutate themselves upon successful insertion with the didInsert(with:for:) method.

The insert() and save() methods are mutating methods.

  • persistenceConflictPolicy Default implementation

    The policy that handles SQLite conflicts when records are inserted or updated.

    This property is optional: its default value uses the ABORT policy for both insertions and updates, and has GRDB generate regular INSERT and UPDATE queries.

    If insertions are resolved with .ignore policy, the didInsert(with:for:) method is not called upon successful insertion, even if a row was actually inserted without any conflict.

    See https://www.sqlite.org/lang_conflict.html

    Default Implementation

    Describes the conflict policy for insertions and updates.

    The default value specifies ABORT policy for both insertions and updates, which has GRDB generate regular INSERT and UPDATE queries.

    Declaration

    Swift

    static var persistenceConflictPolicy: PersistenceConflictPolicy
  • Returns the values that should be stored in the database.

    Keys of the returned dictionary must match the column names of the target database table (see TableMapping.databaseTableName()).

    In particular, primary key columns, if any, must be included.

    struct Person : MutablePersistable {
        var id: Int64?
        var name: String?
    
        var persistentDictionary: [String: DatabaseValueConvertible?] {
            return ["id": id, "name": name]
        }
    }
    

    Declaration

    Swift

    var persistentDictionary: [String: DatabaseValueConvertible?]
  • didInsert(with:for:) Default implementation

    Notifies the record that it was succesfully inserted.

    Do not call this method directly: it is called for you, in a protected dispatch queue, with the inserted RowID and the eventual INTEGER PRIMARY KEY column name.

    This method is optional: the default implementation does nothing.

    struct Person : MutablePersistable {
        var id: Int64?
        var name: String?
    
        mutating func didInsert(with rowID: Int64, for column: String?) {
            self.id = rowID
        }
    }
    

    Default Implementation

    Notifies the record that it was succesfully inserted.

    The default implementation does nothing.

    Declaration

    Swift

    mutating func didInsert(with rowID: Int64, for column: String?)

    Parameters

    rowID

    The inserted rowID.

    column

    The name of the eventual INTEGER PRIMARY KEY column.

  • insert(_:) Default implementation

    Executes an INSERT statement.

    This method is guaranteed to have inserted a row in the database if it returns without error.

    Upon successful insertion, the didInsert(with:for:) method is called with the inserted RowID and the eventual INTEGER PRIMARY KEY column name.

    This method has a default implementation, so your adopting types don’t have to implement it. Yet your types can provide their own implementation of insert(). In their implementation, it is recommended that they invoke the performInsert() method.

  • update(_:columns:) Default implementation

    Executes an UPDATE statement.

    This method is guaranteed to have updated a row in the database if it returns without error.

    This method has a default implementation, so your adopting types don’t have to implement it. Yet your types can provide their own implementation of update(). In their implementation, it is recommended that they invoke the performUpdate() method.

    Throws

    A DatabaseError is thrown whenever an SQLite error occurs. PersistenceError.recordNotFound is thrown if the primary key does not match any row in the database.

    Default Implementation

    Executes an UPDATE statement.

  • save(_:) Default implementation

    Executes an INSERT or an UPDATE statement so that self is saved in the database.

    If the receiver has a non-nil primary key and a matching row in the database, this method performs an update.

    Otherwise, performs an insert.

    This method is guaranteed to have inserted or updated a row in the database if it returns without error.

    This method has a default implementation, so your adopting types don’t have to implement it. Yet your types can provide their own implementation of save(). In their implementation, it is recommended that they invoke the performSave() method.
