Core Data done right for iOS 5+/OS X 10.7+.
As of iOS 10 and macOS 10.12, a lot of functionality from KFData is now available in CoreData directly. For any new development I'd recomment using NSPersistentContainer and QueryKit directly.
- KFDataStore has been superceeded by
NSPersistentContainer.NSPersistentContainersimplifies the creation and management of the Core Data stack just like KFDataStore. - KFAttribute/KFManager has been superceeded by QueryKit.
KFData is a library for using Core Data, featuring many components which can be used separately or together. 1.0 is a major update to this library, and we have provided a migration guide to help you migrate to the latest version.
As of iOS 10, macOS 10.12, Apple have introduced NSPersistentContainer
which aims to solve the same problems as KFDataStore. It is recommended
to migrate to NSPersistentContainer.
KFDataStore is a component of KFData which is a wrapper around a Core Data
stack. Using the data store, you can create a Core Data stack in various
different configuration types.
Normally you would create a single KFDataStore across your whole application,
(or across a whole managed object model). You can call methods on a
KFDataStore instance to obtain a managed object context or perform
blocks of code with a background managed object context.
KFDataStore *dataStore = [KFDataStore standardCloudDataStore];
// You can use helper methods to perform a write or read block
[dataStore performWriteBlock:^(NSManagedObjectContext*)managedObjectContext {
Person *kylef = [Person createInManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext];
[kylef setName:@"Kyle Fuller"];
}];KFData used to provide two classes KFAttribute and KFObjectManager which are now superseded by QueryKit.
CocoaPods is the recommended way to add KFData to your project.
Here's an example podfile that installs KFData.
Due to differences with framework headers. If you are using KFData as a framework, use 1.1.1 otherwise 1.1.0.
platform :ios, '5.0'
use_frameworks!
pod 'KFData', '1.1.1'platform :ios, '5.0'
pod 'KFData', '1.1.0'Note the specification of iOS 5.0 as the platform; leaving out the 5.0 will cause CocoaPods to fail with the following message:
[!] KFData is not compatible with iOS 4.3.
There is full documentation for KFData, it can either be found on CocoaDocs or within the headers of KFData.
