Alamofire, Objectmapper, Realm: Nested Objects

问题

I'm using Alamofire, Objectmapper, Realm and everything is working beside one thing: I can't map nested objects.

class Voting: Object, Mappable {

    dynamic var votingID: String = ""
    dynamic var question: String = ""
    var votingOptions = List<VotingOption>()

    required convenience init?(_ map: Map) {
        self.init()
    }

    func mapping(map: Map) {
        votingID <- map["id"]
        question <- map["question"]
        votingOptions <- map["votingOptions"]
    }

    override class func primaryKey() -> String {
        return "votingID"
    }   
}

class VotingOption: Object, Mappable{

    dynamic var optionID: String = ""
    dynamic var text: String = ""


    required convenience init?(_ map: Map) {
        self.init()
    }

    func mapping(map: Map) {
        optionID <- map["id"]
        text <- map["optionText"]
    }

    override class func primaryKey() -> String {
        return "optionID"
    }   
}

The JSON that I'm trying to map is:

{
    "Voting": [
        {
            "question": "Which option do yo prefer?",
            "id": "7f073efd-6f3d-43f2-9fe4-5cad683b77a2",
            "votingOptions": [
                {
                    "optionText": "Option 3",
                    "id": "3bc0a618-8791-4862-a7fd-5f2df464697d"
                },
                {
                    "optionText": "Option 1",
                    "id": "84c6a830-814b-40c8-a252-c074be5d689a"
                },
                {
                    "optionText": "Option 2",
                    "id": "8872ef6f-fc70-445a-802e-d39944006467"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

The mapping funktion in VotingOption never gets called.

The old ListTransform solution no longer works in Swift 3.

This is what I'm using now; put this in a file called, ListExtensions.swift, for example.

import Foundation
import ObjectMapper
import RealmSwift

/// Maps object of Realm's List type
func <- <T: Mappable>(left: List<T>, right: Map)
{
    var array: [T]?

    if right.mappingType == .toJSON {
        array = Array(left)
    }

    array <- right

    if right.mappingType == .fromJSON {
        if let theArray = array {
            left.append(objectsIn: theArray)
        }
    }
}

This allows you to simply use it like this:

class Parent: Object, Mappable {
    dynamic var id: Int = 0
    var children = List<Child>()

    required convenience init?(_ map: Map) {
        self.init()
    }

    func mapping(map: Map) {
        id <- map["id"]
        children <- map["children"]
    }
}

The problem you're seeing is due to ObjectMapper having no knowledge of Realm's List type. It is not aware that it is a collection type, and that it must be mutated in place rather than being assigned to. You can see discussion of this, including some suggested workarounds, in ObjectMapper GitHub issue #143.

Note also that any List properties on Object subclasses should be declared with let rather than var.

回答3:

class ListTransform<T:RealmSwift.Object> : TransformType where T:Mappable {
    typealias Object = List<T>
    typealias JSON = [AnyObject]

    let mapper = Mapper<T>()

    func transformFromJSON(_ value: Any?) -> Object? {
        let results = List<T>()
        if let objects = mapper.mapArray(JSONObject: value) {
            for object in objects {
                results.append(object)
            }
        }
        return results
    }

    func transformToJSON(_ value: Object?) -> JSON? {
        var results = [AnyObject]()
        if let value = value {
            for obj in value {
                let json = mapper.toJSON(obj)
                results.append(json as AnyObject)
            }
        }
        return results
    }
}

Then in your model something like this.

class Parent: Object, Mappable {
    dynamic var id: Int = 0
    var children = List<Child>()

    required convenience init?(_ map: Map) {
        self.init()
    }

    func mapping(map: Map) {
        id <- map["id"]
        child <- (map["children"], ListTransform<Child>())
    }
}

You can extend ObjectMapper for Realm.List type with a operator function like as:

public func <- <T: Object where T: Mappable, T: JSPrimaryKey>(left: List<T>, right: Map) {
  if right.mappingType == MappingType.FromJSON {
    if let value = right.currentValue {
      left.removeAll()
      if let json = value as? [[String : AnyObject]] {
        let objs = RealmS().add(T.self, json: json)
        left.appendContentsOf(objs)
      }
    }
  }
}

Try yourself.
