Howdy,
I've Core Data a lot in Objective-c and now I am trying to use it in MacRuby. It occurs to me that I might need to create the to-many relationship accessors just like you have to do in Objective-C.
To clarify: Suppose I have a data model that models a file structure and which looks like this:
Folder{
name:string
parent<<-->Folder.subFolders
subFolders<-->>Folder.parent
files<-->>File.folder
}
File{
name:string
folder<<-->Folder.file
}
In Objective-C, I would normally have methods in the `Folder` class that would look like:
addSubFoldersObject:
removeSubFoldersObject:
addSubFoldersObjects:
removeSubFoldersObjects:
The methods themselves would use look something like:
- (void)addSubFoldersObject:(FetchedPropertyExtractor *)value {
NSSet *changedObjects = [[NSSet alloc] initWithObjects:&value count:1];
[self willChangeValueForKey:@"SubFolders" withSetMutation:NSKeyValueUnionSetMutation usingObjects:changedObjects];
[[self primitiveValueForKey:@"SubFolders"] addObject:value];
[self didChangeValueForKey:@"SubFolders" withSetMutation:NSKeyValueUnionSetMutation usingObjects:changedObjects];
[changedObjects release];
}
Do you have to do the same thing in MacRuby or will the normal ruby set operations suffice?
Thanks,
