Issue #13
There is time we have models that have some kind of inheritance, like Dog
, Cat
, Mouse
can be Animal
. We can use composition to imitate inheritance, we just need to make sure it has unique primary key
Cat and Dog
These are pretty much basic Realm objects
class Dog: Object {
dynamic var id: Int = 0
required convenience init(json: [String: Any]) {
self.init()
id <- json.integer(key: "id")
}
}
class Cat: Object {
dynamic var id: Int = 0
required convenience init(json: [String: Any]) {
self.init()
id <- json.integer(key: "id")
}
}
Animal
Here Animal
can contain either dog
or cat
, we can add more if there are many other “inheritance” of Animal
. The required init
makes sure Animal can only be init with 1 type of child
class
class Animal: Object {
dynamic var id: Int = 0
dynamic var cat: Cat?
dynamic var dog: Dog?
required convenience init(cat: Cat) {
self.init()
self.cat = cat
self.id = cat.id
}
required convenience init(dog: Dog) {
self.init()
self.dog = dog
self.id = dog.id
}
}
