在NSManagedObjectModel添加关系，以编程方式创建NSEntityDescripti

当你写它使用CoreData静态库有一个大的烂摊子，包括正常.xdatamodeld文件到该项目，因为你根本不能仅仅链接它的编译版本（.momd）到您的二进制文件，所以它是最好创建整个NSManagedObjectModel代码像这样：

NSAttributeDescription *dateAttribute = NSAttributeDescription.new;

dateAttribute.name = @"timestamp";
dateAttribute.attributeType = NSDoubleAttributeType;
dateAttribute.optional = NO;
dateAttribute.indexed = YES;

NSAttributeDescription *payloadAttribute = NSAttributeDescription.new;

payloadAttribute.name = @"payload";
payloadAttribute.attributeType = NSBinaryDataAttributeType;
payloadAttribute.optional = NO;
payloadAttribute.indexed = NO;

NSEntityDescription *entry = NSEntityDescription.new;

entry.name = entry.managedObjectClassName = NSStringFromClass(MyCustomEntry.class);
entry.properties = @[dateAttribute, payloadAttribute];

NSManagedObjectModel *mom = NSManagedObjectModel.new;

mom.entities = @[entry];

所有的一切都仅仅是完美....

但！等等，如果我在一个以上的实体NSManagedObjectModel和它们相关的（对许多人来说，反转，等等），如何在世界上我要去的代码将它们连接起来，就像上面的例子中，如果没有很好的Xcode编辑器，在那里你与几个鼠标点击的关系？

例

试想一下，我们有一个类MyCustomElement，这几乎是一样的，从上面的代码MyCustomEntry。现在，我这里还有他们的接口，如果我使用的Xcode生成的实体他们会如何出现：

@interface MyCustomEntry : NSManagedObject

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSNumber *timestamp;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSData *payload;
@property (nonatomic, retain) MyCustomElement *element;

@end

@interface MyCustomElement : NSManagedObject

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSNumber * timestamp;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString * identifier;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSSet *entries;

@end

@interface MyCustomElement (CoreDataGeneratedAccessors)

- (void)addEntriesObject:(MyCustomEntry *)value;
- (void)removeEntriesObject:(MyCustomEntry *)value;
- (void)addEntries:(NSSet *)values;
- (void)removeEntries:(NSSet *)values;

@end

什么NSRelationshipDescription我需要为他们创造和如何初始化呢？

关系由描述NSRelationshipDescription对象。下面的代码创建了“MyCustomEntry”，“MyCustomElement”有关系的两个Entity描述

entries （MyCustomElement - > MyCustomEntry，一对多），
element （MyCustomEntry - > MyCustomElement，对一），逆entries 。

两个实体都只有一个字符串的属性“识别符”（以节省一些代码行）。

Objective-C的：

NSEntityDescription *entry = [[NSEntityDescription alloc] init];
[entry setName:@"MyCustomEntry"];
[entry setManagedObjectClassName:@"MyCustomEntry"];

NSAttributeDescription *entryIdAttribute = [[NSAttributeDescription alloc] init];
entryIdAttribute.name = @"identifier";
entryIdAttribute.attributeType = NSStringAttributeType;

NSEntityDescription *element = [[NSEntityDescription alloc] init];
[element setName:@"MyCustomElement"];
[element setManagedObjectClassName:@"MyCustomElement"];

NSAttributeDescription *elementIdAttribute = [[NSAttributeDescription alloc] init];
elementIdAttribute.name = @"identifier";
elementIdAttribute.attributeType = NSStringAttributeType;

// To-many relationship from "Element" to "Entry":
NSRelationshipDescription *entriesRelation = [[NSRelationshipDescription alloc] init];

// To-one relationship from "Entry" to "Element":
NSRelationshipDescription *elementRelation = [[NSRelationshipDescription alloc] init];

[entriesRelation setName:@"entries"];
[entriesRelation setDestinationEntity:entry];
[entriesRelation setMinCount:0];
[entriesRelation setMaxCount:0]; // max = 0 for to-many relationship
[entriesRelation setDeleteRule:NSCascadeDeleteRule];
[entriesRelation setInverseRelationship:elementRelation];

[elementRelation setName:@"element"];
[elementRelation setDestinationEntity:element];
[elementRelation setMinCount:0];
[elementRelation setMaxCount:1]; // max = 1 for to-one relationship
[elementRelation setDeleteRule:NSNullifyDeleteRule];
[elementRelation setInverseRelationship:entriesRelation];

[entry setProperties:@[entryIdAttribute, elementRelation]];
[element setProperties:@[elementIdAttribute, entriesRelation]];

NSManagedObjectModel *mom = [[NSManagedObjectModel alloc] init];
[mom setEntities:@[entry, element]];

斯威夫特 （现在更新的斯威夫特3/4）：

let entry = NSEntityDescription ()
entry.name = "MyCustomEntry"
entry.managedObjectClassName = "MyCustomEntry"

let entryIdAttribute = NSAttributeDescription()
entryIdAttribute.name = "identifier";
entryIdAttribute.attributeType = .stringAttributeType;

let element = NSEntityDescription()
element.name = "MyCustomElement"
element.managedObjectClassName = "MyCustomElement"

let elementIdAttribute =  NSAttributeDescription()
elementIdAttribute.name = "identifier"
elementIdAttribute.attributeType = .stringAttributeType

// To-many relationship from "Element" to "Entry":
let entriesRelation = NSRelationshipDescription()

// To-one relationship from "Entry" to "Element":
let elementRelation = NSRelationshipDescription ()

entriesRelation.name = "entries"
entriesRelation.destinationEntity = entry
entriesRelation.minCount = 0
entriesRelation.maxCount = 0  // max = 0 for to-many relationship
entriesRelation.deleteRule = .cascadeDeleteRule
entriesRelation.inverseRelationship = elementRelation

elementRelation.name = "element"
elementRelation.destinationEntity = element
elementRelation.minCount = 0
elementRelation.maxCount = 1 // max = 1 for to-one relationship
elementRelation.deleteRule = .nullifyDeleteRule
elementRelation.inverseRelationship = entriesRelation

entry.properties = [entryIdAttribute, elementRelation]
element.properties = [elementIdAttribute, entriesRelation]

let mom = NSManagedObjectModel()
mom.entities = [entry, element]

我已经测试此代码，它似乎工作，所以我希望这将是对你有用。
