Type Definitions

The following type definitions are available globally.

Notification Constants

  • A notification indicating that changes were made to a Realm.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    typedef NSString *RLMNotification
  • A token representing an identity provider’s credentials.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    typedef NSString *RLMCredentialsToken
  • A type representing the unique identifier of a MongoDB Realm identity provider.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    typedef NSString *RLMIdentityProvider
  • A block type used to report an error

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    typedef void (^RLMEmailPasswordAuthOptionalErrorBlock)(NSError *_Nullable)
  • A callback block for RLMObject notifications.

    If the object is deleted from the managing Realm, the block is called with deleted set to YES and the other two arguments are nil. The block will never be called again after this.

    If the object is modified, the block will be called with deleted set to NO, a nil error, and an array of RLMPropertyChange objects which indicate which properties of the objects were modified.

    If an error occurs, deleted will be NO, changes will be nil, and error will include information about the error. The block will never be called again after an error occurs.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    typedef void (^RLMObjectChangeBlock)(BOOL,
                                         NSArray<RLMPropertyChange *> *_Nullable,
                                         NSError *_Nullable)
  • A block type which provides both the old and new versions of an object in the Realm. Object properties can only be accessed using keyed subscripting.

    Declaration

                                            RLMObject *_Nullable)

    Parameters

    Return YES to indicate that an attempt to compact the file should be made. The compaction will be skipped if another process is accessing it.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    typedef BOOL (^RLMShouldCompactOnLaunchBlock)(NSUInteger, NSUInteger)
