NSFetchedResultsContollerDelegate for CollectionView

Question

I\'d like to use the NSFetchedResultsControllerRelegate in a CollectionViewController. Therefore I just changed the method for the TableViewController for the CollectionView

Answer 1

I made @Plot's solution it's own object and converted it to Swift 2

import Foundation
import CoreData

class CollectionViewFetchedResultsControllerDelegate: NSObject, NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate {

    // MARK: Properties

    private let collectionView: UICollectionView
    private var blockOperations: [NSBlockOperation] = []

    // MARK: Init

    init(collectionView: UICollectionView) {
        self.collectionView = collectionView
    }

    // MARK: Deinit

    deinit {
        blockOperations.forEach { $0.cancel() }
        blockOperations.removeAll(keepCapacity: false)
    }

    // MARK: NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate

    func controllerWillChangeContent(controller: NSFetchedResultsController) {
        blockOperations.removeAll(keepCapacity: false)
    }

    func controller(controller: NSFetchedResultsController, didChangeObject anObject: AnyObject, atIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath?, forChangeType type: NSFetchedResultsChangeType, newIndexPath: NSIndexPath?) {

        switch type {

        case .Insert:
            guard let newIndexPath = newIndexPath else { return }
            let op = NSBlockOperation { [weak self] in self?.collectionView.insertItemsAtIndexPaths([newIndexPath]) }
            blockOperations.append(op)

        case .Update:
            guard let newIndexPath = newIndexPath else { return }
            let op = NSBlockOperation { [weak self] in self?.collectionView.reloadItemsAtIndexPaths([newIndexPath]) }
            blockOperations.append(op)

        case .Move:
            guard let indexPath = indexPath else { return }
            guard let newIndexPath = newIndexPath else { return }
            let op = NSBlockOperation { [weak self] in self?.collectionView.moveItemAtIndexPath(indexPath, toIndexPath: newIndexPath) }
            blockOperations.append(op)

        case .Delete:
            guard let indexPath = indexPath else { return }
            let op = NSBlockOperation { [weak self] in self?.collectionView.deleteItemsAtIndexPaths([indexPath]) }
            blockOperations.append(op)

        }
    }

    func controller(controller: NSFetchedResultsController, didChangeSection sectionInfo: NSFetchedResultsSectionInfo, atIndex sectionIndex: Int, forChangeType type: NSFetchedResultsChangeType) {

        switch type {

        case .Insert:
            let op = NSBlockOperation { [weak self] in self?.collectionView.insertSections(NSIndexSet(index: sectionIndex)) }
            blockOperations.append(op)

        case .Update:
            let op = NSBlockOperation { [weak self] in self?.collectionView.reloadSections(NSIndexSet(index: sectionIndex)) }
            blockOperations.append(op)

        case .Delete:
            let op = NSBlockOperation { [weak self] in self?.collectionView.deleteSections(NSIndexSet(index: sectionIndex)) }
            blockOperations.append(op)

        default: break

        }
    }

    func controllerDidChangeContent(controller: NSFetchedResultsController) {
        collectionView.performBatchUpdates({
            self.blockOperations.forEach { $0.start() }
        }, completion: { finished in
            self.blockOperations.removeAll(keepCapacity: false)
        })
    }

}

Usage:

fetchedResultsController.delegate = CollectionViewFetchedResultsControllerDelegate(collectionView)

Swift 4 version

private var blockOperations: [BlockOperation] = []

func controllerWillChangeContent(_ controller: NSFetchedResultsController) {
    blockOperations.removeAll(keepingCapacity: false)
}

func controller(_ controller: NSFetchedResultsController,
                didChange anObject: Any,
                at indexPath: IndexPath?,
                for type: NSFetchedResultsChangeType,
                newIndexPath: IndexPath?) {

    let op: BlockOperation
    switch type {
    case .insert:
        guard let newIndexPath = newIndexPath else { return }
        op = BlockOperation { self.collectionView.insertItems(at: [newIndexPath]) }

    case .delete:
        guard let indexPath = indexPath else { return }
        op = BlockOperation { self.collectionView.deleteItems(at: [indexPath]) }
    case .move:
        guard let indexPath = indexPath,  let newIndexPath = newIndexPath else { return }
        op = BlockOperation { self.collectionView.moveItem(at: indexPath, to: newIndexPath) }
    case .update:
        guard let indexPath = indexPath else { return }
        op = BlockOperation { self.collectionView.reloadItems(at: [indexPath]) }
    }

    blockOperations.append(op)
}

func controllerDidChangeContent(_ controller: NSFetchedResultsController) {
    collectionView.performBatchUpdates({
        self.blockOperations.forEach { $0.start() }
    }, completion: { finished in
        self.blockOperations.removeAll(keepingCapacity: false)
    })
}
