How do you save a custom class as an attribute of a CoreData entity in Swift 3?

Question

I have a CoreData Entity SavedWorkout. It has the following attributes:

completionCounter is an array of Bool, and work

Answer 1

The issue is that WorkoutRoutine is itself a custom class and as of your error it is not NSCoding compliant, therefore aCoder.encode(routine, forKey: "routine") doesn't really know how to encode it, as well as routine = aDecoder.decodeObject(forKey: "routine") as! [WorkoutRoutine] doesn't know how to decode it.

Not really related, but please try a safer approach for your coder and encoder initializer as the force unwrap might cause crashes if the encoder does not contain the keys you are looking for (for any reason)

required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
    guard let name = aDecoder.decodeObject(forKey: "name") as? String,
        let imageName = aDecoder.decodeObject(forKey: "imageName") as? String,
        let routine = aDecoder.decodeObject(forKey: "routine") as? [WorkoutRoutine],
        let shortDescription = aDecoder.decodeObject(forKey: "shortDescription") as? String else {
            return nil
    }
    self.name = name
    self.imageName = imageName
    self.routine = routine
    self.shortDescription = shortDescription
}
