RLMResults

Objective-C

@interface RLMResults<RLMObjectType>
    : NSObject <RLMCollection, NSFastEnumeration>

Swift

@_nonSendable(_assumed) class RLMResults<RLMObjectType> : NSObject, RLMCollection, NSFastEnumeration where RLMObjectType : AnyObject

RLMResults is an auto-updating container type in Realm returned from object queries. It represents the results of the query in the form of a collection of objects.

RLMResults can be queried using the same predicates as RLMObject and RLMArray, and you can chain queries to further filter results.

RLMResults always reflect the current state of the Realm on the current thread, including during write transactions on the current thread. The one exception to this is when using for...in fast enumeration, which will always enumerate over the objects which matched the query when the enumeration is begun, even if some of them are deleted or modified to be excluded by the filter during the enumeration.

RLMResults are lazily evaluated the first time they are accessed; they only run queries when the result of the query is requested. This means that chaining several temporary RLMResults to sort and filter your data does not perform any extra work processing the intermediate state.

Once the results have been evaluated or a notification block has been added, the results are eagerly kept up-to-date, with the work done to keep them up-to-date done on a background thread whenever possible.

RLMResults cannot be directly instantiated.

Notifications

  • Registers a block to be called each time the results collection changes.

    The block will be asynchronously called with the initial results collection, and then called again after each write transaction which changes either any of the objects in the results, or which objects are in the results.

    The change parameter will be nil the first time the block is called. For each call after that, it will contain information about which rows in the results collection were added, removed or modified. If a write transaction did not modify any objects in the results collection, the block is not called at all. See the RLMCollectionChange documentation for information on how the changes are reported and an example of updating a UITableView.

    The error parameter is present only for backwards compatibility and will always be nil.

    At the time when the block is called, the RLMResults object will be fully evaluated and up-to-date, and as long as you do not perform a write transaction on the same thread or explicitly call -[RLMRealm refresh], accessing it will never perform blocking work.

    Notifications are delivered via the standard run loop, and so can’t be delivered while the run loop is blocked by other activity. When notifications can’t be delivered instantly, multiple notifications may be coalesced into a single notification. This can include the notification with the initial results. For example, the following code performs a write transaction immediately after adding the notification block, so there is no opportunity for the initial notification to be delivered first. As a result, the initial notification will reflect the state of the Realm after the write transaction.

    RLMResults<Dog *> *results = [Dog allObjects];
NSLog(@"dogs.count: %zu", dogs.count); // => 0
self.token = [results addNotificationBlock:^(RLMResults *dogs,
                                             RLMCollectionChange *changes,
                                             NSError *error) {
    // Only fired once for the example
    NSLog(@"dogs.count: %zu", dogs.count); // => 1
}];
[realm transactionWithBlock:^{
    Dog *dog = [[Dog alloc] init];
    dog.name = @"Rex";
    [realm addObject:dog];
}];
// end of run loop execution context

    You must retain the returned token for as long as you want updates to continue to be sent to the block. To stop receiving updates, call -invalidate on the token.

    Warning

    This method cannot be called during a write transaction, or when the containing Realm is read-only.

Flexible Sync

  • Creates a RLMSyncSubscription matching the RLMResults’s local filter.

    After committing the subscription to the realm’s local subscription set, the method will wait for downloads according to RLMWaitForSyncMode behavior.

    Unnamed subscriptions

    If subscribeWithCompletion: is called without a name whose query matches an unnamed subscription, another subscription is not created.

    If subscribeWithCompletion: is called without a name whose query matches a named subscription, an additional unnamed subscription is created.

    Named Subscriptions

    If subscribeWithCompletion: is called with a name whose query matches an unnamed subscription, an additional named subscription is created.

    Existing name and query

    If subscribeWithCompletion: is called with a name whose name is taken on a different query, the old subscription is updated with the new query.

    Note

    This method opens an update block transaction that creates or updates a subscription. It’s advised to not loop over this method in order to create multiple subscriptions at once. This could create a performance bottleneck by opening multiple unnecessary write transactions. @see: [RLMSyncSubscription update:queue:onComplete:] in order to create multiple subscriptions.

  • Removes a RLMSubscription matching the RLMResults'slocal filter.

    The method returns after committing the subscription removal to the realm’s local subscription set. Calling this method will not wait for objects to be removed from the realm.

    Calling unsubscribe on a RLMResults does not remove the local filter from the RLMResults. After calling unsubscribe, RLMResults may still contain objects because other subscriptions may exist in the RLMRealm’s subscription set.

    Note

    In order for a named subscription to be removed, the RLMResults must have previously created the subscription. The RLMResults returned in the completion block when calling subscribe can be used to unsubscribe from the same subscription.

    Note

    This method opens an update block transaction that creates or updates a subscription. It’s advised to not loop over this method in order to create multiple subscriptions at once. This could create a performance bottleneck by opening multiple unnecessary write transactions. @see: [RLMSyncSubscription update:queue:onComplete:] in order to create multiple subscriptions.

    Warning

    This API is currently in Preview and may be subject to changes in the future.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)unsubscribe;

Aggregating Property Values

  • Returns the minimum (lowest) value of the given property among all the objects represented by the results collection.

    NSNumber *min = [results minOfProperty:@"age"];

    Warning

    You cannot use this method on RLMObject, RLMArray, and NSData properties.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    Parameters

    property

    The property whose minimum value is desired. Only properties of types int, float, double, and NSDate are supported.

    Return Value

    The minimum value of the property, or nil if the Results are empty.

Sectioned Results

Freeze

  • Indicates if the result are frozen.

    Frozen Results are immutable and can be accessed from any thread.The objects read from a frozen Results will also be frozen.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, readonly, getter=isFrozen) BOOL frozen;

    Swift

    var isFrozen: Bool { get }
    Show on GitHub

  • Returns a frozen (immutable) snapshot of these results.

    The frozen copy is an immutable collection which contains the same data as this collection currently contains, but will not update when writes are made to the containing Realm. Unlike live Results, frozen Results can be accessed from any thread.

    Warning

    This method cannot be called during a write transaction, or when the containing Realm is read-only.

    Warning

    Holding onto a frozen collection for an extended period while performing write transaction on the Realm may result in the Realm file growing to large sizes. See RLMRealmConfiguration.maximumNumberOfActiveVersions for more information.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (nonnull instancetype)freeze;

    Swift

    func freeze() -> Self
    Show on GitHub

  • Returns a live version of this frozen collection.

    This method resolves a reference to a live copy of the same frozen collection. If called on a live collection, will return itself.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (nonnull instancetype)thaw;

    Swift

    func thaw() -> Self
