MagicalRecord
MagicalRecord is a data persistence library and wrapper for Core Data that implements the Active Record pattern. It maps database rows directly to object instances, allowing for the creation, update, and retrieval of records without writing manual query logic.
The project functions as a mapping layer that synchronizes object properties with a managed object context. It utilizes generic-based type resolution and model-class querying to enable data fetching directly on model classes, which removes the need for a separate external manager and reduces repetitive fetch request boilerplate.
The library covers local database querying and data layer optimization for Apple platform applications. It provides a standardized interface for fetching records and persisting data models to a local store.
Features
- Active-Record ORMs - Implements an Active Record ORM to streamline local data handling by saving records directly through objects.
- Active Record Wrappers - Functions as an Active Record wrapper for Core Data, mapping database rows to object instances for simplified persistence.
