    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @protocol RLMASLoginDelegate

    Swift

RLMBSON

  • Protocol representing a BSON value. BSON is a computer data interchange format. The name “BSON” is based on the term JSON and stands for “Binary JSON”.

    The following types conform to RLMBSON:

    NSNull NSNumber NSString NSData NSDateInterval NSDate RLMObjectId RLMDecimal128 NSRegularExpression RLMMaxKey RLMMinKey NSDictionary NSArray NSUUID

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @protocol RLMBSON

    Swift

    protocol RLMBSON
  • A homogenous collection of Realm-managed objects. Examples of conforming types include RLMArray, RLMSet, RLMResults, and RLMLinkingObjects.

  • Conforming protocol for a Geo-shape.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @protocol RLMGeospatial

    Swift

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @protocol RLMEventDelegate <NSObject>

    Swift

    protocol RLMEventDelegate : NSObjectProtocol
  • Transporting protocol for foreign interfaces. Allows for custom request/response handling.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @protocol RLMNetworkTransport <NSObject>

    Swift

    protocol RLMNetworkTransportProtocol : NSObjectProtocol
  • The RLMSectionedResult protocol defines properties and methods common to both RLMSectionedResults and RLMSection

    See more

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @protocol RLMSectionedResult <NSFastEnumeration, RLMThreadConfined>

    Swift

    protocol RLMSectionedResult : NSFastEnumeration, RLMThreadConfined
  • Objects of types which conform to RLMThreadConfined can be managed by a Realm, which will make them bound to a thread-specific RLMRealm instance. Managed objects must be explicitly exported and imported to be passed between threads.

    Managed instances of objects conforming to this protocol can be converted to a thread-safe reference for transport between threads by passing to the +[RLMThreadSafeReference referenceWithThreadConfined:] constructor.

    Note that only types defined by Realm can meaningfully conform to this protocol, and defining new classes which attempt to conform to it will not make them work with RLMThreadSafeReference.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @protocol RLMThreadConfined <NSObject>

    Swift

    protocol RLMThreadConfined : NSObjectProtocol

RLMValue

  • RLMValue is a property type which represents a polymorphic Realm value. This is similar to the usage of AnyObject / Any in Swift.

     // A property on `MyObject`
     @property (nonatomic) id<RLMValue> myAnyValue;
    
     // A property on `AnotherObject`
     @property (nonatomic) id<RLMValue> myAnyValue;
    
     MyObject *myObject = [MyObject createInRealm:realm withValue:@[]];
     myObject.myAnyValue = @1234; // underlying type is NSNumber.
     myObject.myAnyValue = @"hello"; // underlying type is NSString.
     AnotherObject *anotherObject = [AnotherObject createInRealm:realm withValue:@[]];
     myObject.myAnyValue = anotherObject; // underlying type is RLMObject.
    

    The following types conform to RLMValue:

    NSData NSDate NSNull NSNumber NSUUID NSString RLMObject RLMObjectId RLMDecimal128 RLMDictionary RLMArray NSArray NSDictionary`
