Write amazing, strong-typed and easy-to-read NSPredicate. This library allows you to write flowable NSPredicate, without guessing attribution names, predicate operation or writing wrong arguments type.



## Supported platforms



* iOS 9.0+

* macOS 10.9+

* tvOS 9.0+

* watchOS 2.0+



## Installation

[CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org) is actually the only way to install it.



### Cocoapods



> CocoaPods 0.39.0+ is required to build this library



1. Add `pod 'PredicateFlow'` to your [Podfile](http://cocoapods.org/#get_started) and run `pod install`

2. In Xcode, click on your project in the file list, choose your target under `TARGETS`, click the `Build Phases` tab and add a `New Run Script Phase` by clicking the plus icon in the top left

3. Drag the new `Run Script` phase **above** the `Compile Sources` phase and **below** `Check Pods Manifest.lock`, expand it and paste the following script:  

   ```

   "$PODS_ROOT/Sourcery/bin/sourcery" --sources "$PODS_ROOT/PredicateFlow/PredicateFlow/Classes/Utils/" --sources "$SRCROOT" --templates "$PODS_ROOT/PredicateFlow/PredicateFlow/Templates/PredicateFlow.stencil" --output "$SRCROOT/PredicateFlow.generated.swift"

   ```

   

   In case you are using **PredicateFlow-Realm**, past the following  script instead of the above one:

   ```

   "$PODS_ROOT/Sourcery/bin/sourcery" --sources "$PODS_ROOT/PredicateFlow/PredicateFlow/Classes/Utils/" --sources "$SRCROOT"  --sources "$PODS_ROOT/RealmSwift" --templates "$PODS_ROOT/PredicateFlow/PredicateFlow/Templates/PredicateFlow-Realm.stencil" --output "$SRCROOT/PredicateFlow.generated.swift"

   ```

   

   For Xcode 10 only, add a new `Output Files` and paste the following:

   ```

   $SRCROOT/PredicateFlow.generated.swift

   ```

4. Build your project. In Finder you will now see a `PredicateFlow.generated.swift` in the `$SRCROOT`-folder, drag the `PredicateFlow.generated.swift` files into your project and **uncheck** `Copy items if needed`



_Tip:_ Add the `*.generated.swift` pattern to your `.gitignore` file to prevent unnecessary conflicts.



## Usage



Define a class/struct with its own attributes, which implements ```PredicateSchema```:

```swift

import PredicateFlow



class Dog: PredicateSchema {

	

	private var name: String = ""

	private var age: Int = 0

	private var isHungry: Bool = false

	private var owner: Person?

}



class Person: PredicateSchema {

	

	enum Sex {

		case male

		case female

	}

	

	private var name: String = ""

	private var birth: Date?

	private var sex: Sex!

	private var dogs: [Dog] = []

}

```

Build the project. PredicateFlow will autogenerate attributes references to build predicates, putting them in structures.

```swift

// Generated using Sourcery 0.10.0 — https://github.com/krzysztofzablocki/Sourcery

// DO NOT EDIT



import PredicateFlow



/// The "Dog" Predicate Schema

internal struct DogSchema: GeneratedPredicateSchema {

    private var compoundFieldBuilder: CompoundFieldBuilder



    /// DO NOT USE THIS INIT DIRECTLY!

    internal init(compoundFieldBuilder: CompoundFieldBuilder) {

        self.compoundFieldBuilder = compoundFieldBuilder

    }



    /// "name" property

    internal var name: StringPredicateProperty { return builder.string("name") }

    /// "name" property for static access

    internal static var name: StringPredicateProperty { return DogSchema().name }

    

    // Other properties of Dog class autogenerated...

}

/// The "Person" Predicate Schema

internal struct PersonSchema: GeneratedPredicateSchema {

    private var compoundFieldBuilder: CompoundFieldBuilder



    /// DO NOT USE THIS INIT DIRECTLY!

    internal init(compoundFieldBuilder: CompoundFieldBuilder) {

        self.compoundFieldBuilder = compoundFieldBuilder

    }



    /// "name" property

    internal var name: StringPredicateProperty { return builder.string("name") }

    /// "name" property for static access

    internal static var name: StringPredicateProperty { return PersonSchema().name }

    

    // Other properties of Person class autogenerated...

}

```



To type a floawable NSPredicate, just write:

```swift

DogSchema.age.isEqual(10).query()

// or

// Vanilla mode: 

// NSPredicate("age == %@", 10)

```

You can also write compound predicate, and use deeper fields:

```swift

PredicateBuilder(DogSchema.age > 10)

    .and(DogSchema.isHungry.isTrue)

    .and(DogSchema.age.between(1, 10))

    .and(DogSchema.owner.element().name == "Foo")

    .or(DogSchema.owner.element().dogs.maxElements().age > 10)

    .or(DogSchema.owner.element().dogs.anyElements().name == "Foo")

    .build()

    

// Vanilla mode: 

// NSPredicate("age > %@ AND isHungry == %@ AND age BETWEEN %@ AND owner.name == %@ OR [email protected] > %@ OR ANY owner.dogs.name == %@", 10, true, [1, 10], "Foo", 10, "Foo")

```



PredicateFlow can also build KeyPaths, and you can use it to get a strong-typed one.

```swift

DogSchema.age.keyPath()

DogSchema.owner.element().dogs.keyPath()



// Vanilla mode:

// "age"

// "owner.dogs"

```



## PredicateFlow/Realm



If you want to use flowable and strong-typed queries in [Realm](https://github.com/realm/realm-cocoa), add **both** `pod 'PredicateFlow'` and `pod 'PredicateFlow/Realm'` to your [Podfile](http://cocoapods.org/#get_started) and run `pod install`.

```swift

let realm = try! Realm()

realm.objects(Dog.self)

    .filter(DogSchema.age.isGreater(than: 10))

    .filter(DogSchema.isHungry.isTrue)

    .sorted(DogSchema.age.ascending())

    

// Vanilla mode:

realm.objects(Dog.self)

    .filter("age > %@", 10)

    .filter("isHungry == %@", true)

    .sorted("age", ascending: true)

```
