问题
I want to save the array patientList in UserDefaults. Patient is an custom class so I need to transfer it into Data object, but this doesn't work on Swift 5 like it did before.
func addFirstPatient(){
let newPatient = Patient(name: nameField.text!, number: numberField.text!, resultArray: resultArray, diagnoseArray: diagnoseArray)
let patientList: [Patient] = [newPatient]
let encodeData: Data = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: patientList)
UserDefaults.standard.set(encodeData, forKey: "patientList")
UserDefaults.standard.synchronize()
}
struct Patient {
var diagnoseArray: [Diagnose]
var resultArray: [Diagnose]
var name: String
var number: String
init(name: String, number: String, resultArray: [Diagnose], diagnoseArray: [Diagnose]) {
self.diagnoseArray = diagnoseArray
self.name = name
self.number = number
self.resultArray = resultArray
}
}
struct Diagnose{
var name: String
var treatments: [Treatment]
var isPositiv = false
var isExtended = false
init(name: String, treatments: [Treatment]) {
self.name = name
self.treatments = treatments
}
}
struct Treatment {
var name: String
var wasMade = false
init(name: String) {
self.name = name
}
}
This is what the function looks like. The problem is in the line where I initialize encodeData.
let encodeData: Data = try! NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: patientList, requiringSecureCoding: false)
This is what Swift suggests but when I try it like this it always crashes and I don't get the error

Vadian's answer is correct, you cannot use NSKeyedArchiver with structs. Having all your objects conform to Codable is the best way to reproduce the behavior you are looking for. I do what Vadian does, but I you can also use protocol extensions to make this safer.
import UIKit
struct Patient: Codable {
var name: String
var number: String
var resultArray: [Diagnose]
var diagnoseArray: [Diagnose]
}
struct Diagnose: Codable {
var name: String
var treatments: [Treatment]
var isPositiv : Bool
var isExtended : Bool
}
struct Treatment: Codable {
var name: String
var wasMade : Bool
}
let newPatient = Patient(name: "John Doe",
number: "123",
resultArray: [Diagnose(name: "Result", treatments: [Treatment(name: "Treat1", wasMade: false)], isPositiv: false, isExtended: false)],
diagnoseArray: [Diagnose(name: "Diagnose", treatments: [Treatment(name: "Treat2", wasMade: false)], isPositiv: false, isExtended: false)])
let patientList: [Patient] = [newPatient]
Introduce a protocol to manage the encoding and saving of objects.
This does not have to inherit from Codable but it does for this example for simplicity.
/// Objects conforming to `CanSaveToDisk` have a save method and provide keys for saving individual objects or a list of objects.
protocol CanSaveToDisk: Codable {
/// Provide default logic for encoding this value.
static var defaultEncoder: JSONEncoder { get }
/// This key is used to save the individual object to disk. This works best by using a unique identifier.
var storageKeyForObject: String { get }
/// This key is used to save a list of these objects to disk. Any array of items conforming to `CanSaveToDisk` has the option to save as well.
static var storageKeyForListofObjects: String { get }
/// Persists the object to disk.
///
/// - Throws: useful to throw an error from an encoder or a custom error if you use stage different from user defaults like the keychain
func save() throws
}
Using protocol extensions we add an option to save an array of these objects.
extension Array where Element: CanSaveToDisk {
func dataValue() throws -> Data {
return try Element.defaultEncoder.encode(self)
}
func save() throws {
let storage = UserDefaults.standard
storage.set(try dataValue(), forKey: Element.storageKeyForListofObjects)
}
}
We extend our patient object so it can know what to do when saving.
I use "storage" so that this could be swapped with NSKeychain. If you are saving sensitive data (like patient information) you should be using the keychain instead of UserDefaults. Also, make sure you comply with security and privacy best practices for health data in whatever market you're offering your app. Laws can be a very different experience between countries. UserDefaults might not be safe enough storage.
There are lots of great keychain wrappers to make things easier. UserDefaults simply sets data using a key. The Keychain does the same. A wrapper like https://github.com/evgenyneu/keychain-swift will behave similar to how I use UserDefaults below. I have commented out what the equivalent use would look like for completeness.
extension Patient: CanSaveToDisk {
static var defaultEncoder: JSONEncoder {
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
// add additional customization here
// like dates or data handling
return encoder
}
var storageKeyForObject: String {
// "com.myapp.patient.123"
return "com.myapp.patient.\(number)"
}
static var storageKeyForListofObjects: String {
return "com.myapp.patientList"
}
func save() throws {
// you could also save to the keychain easily
//let keychain = KeychainSwift()
//keychain.set(dataObject, forKey: storageKeyForObject)
let data = try Patient.defaultEncoder.encode(self)
let storage = UserDefaults.standard
storage.setValue(data, forKey: storageKeyForObject)
}
}
Saving is simplified, check out the 2 examples below!
do {
// saving just one patient record
// this saves this patient to the storageKeyForObject
try patientList.first?.save()
// saving the entire list
try patientList.save()
} catch { print(error) }

You cannot use NSKeyedArchiver with structs at all. The objects must be subclasses of NSObject which adopt NSCoding and implement the required methods.
As suggested in the comments Codable is the better choice for example
struct Patient : Codable {
var name: String
var number: String
var resultArray: [Diagnose]
var diagnoseArray: [Diagnose]
}
struct Diagnose : Codable {
var name: String
var treatments: [Treatment]
var isPositiv : Bool
var isExtended : Bool
}
struct Treatment : Codable {
var name: String
var wasMade : Bool
}
let newPatient = Patient(name: "John Doe",
number: "123",
resultArray: [Diagnose(name: "Result", treatments: [Treatment(name: "Treat1", wasMade: false)], isPositiv: false, isExtended: false)],
diagnoseArray: [Diagnose(name: "Diagnose", treatments: [Treatment(name: "Treat2", wasMade: false)], isPositiv: false, isExtended: false)])
let patientList: [Patient] = [newPatient]
do {
let encodeData = try JSONEncoder().encode(patientList)
UserDefaults.standard.set(encodeData, forKey: "patientList")
// synchronize is not needed
} catch { print(error) }
If you want to provide default values for the Bool values you have to write an initializer.
