I am using Parse.com with my iOS application (written in Swift) since 6 month and I would like to use Parse local Datastore for many reasons :
Finally I found a way to do it based on this GitHub topic : https://github.com/ParsePlatform/ParseUI-iOS/issues/53
Here is the function I use :
func findObjectsLocallyThenRemotely(query: PFQuery!, block:[AnyObject]! -> Void) {
let localQuery = (query.copy() as! PFQuery).fromLocalDatastore()
localQuery.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock({ (locals, error) -> Void in
if (error == nil) {
println("Success : Local Query", msg: "\(query.parseClassName)")
block(locals)
} else {
println("Error : Local Query", msg: "\(query.parseClassName)", error: error)
}
query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock({ (objects, error) -> Void in
if(error == nil) {
println("Success : Network Query", msg: "\(query.parseClassName)")
PFObject.unpinAllInBackground(locals, block: { (success, error) -> Void in
if (error == nil) {
println("Success : Unpin Local Query", msg: "\(query.parseClassName)")
block(objects)
PFObject.pinAllInBackground(objects, block: { (success, error) -> Void in
if (error == nil) {
println("Success : Pin Query Result", msg: "\(query.parseClassName)")
} else {
println("Error : Pin Query Result", msg: "\(query.parseClassName)", error: error)
}
})
} else {
println("Error : Unpin Local Query", msg: "\(query.parseClassName)", error: error)
}
})
} else {
println("Error : Network Query", msg: "\(query.parseClassName)", error: error)
}
})
})
}
TO DO : I need to add the "lastUpdateDate" option to fetch only modified data from network.
