Getting started with realm

Remarks#

Realm is a mobile-first database solution designed to provide fast queries with low-memory consumption through usage of lazy-evaluation, along with type-safe and live-updating model objects.

Realm is available for multiple platforms, and therefore encompasses multiple projects:

Versions#

Platform	Version	Release date
Realm Objective-C	2.4.4	2017-03-14
Realm Swift	2.4.4	2017-03-14
Realm Java	3.2.0	2017-05-16

Java

public class Dog extends RealmObject {
    public String name;
    public int age;
}

Dog dog = new Dog();
dog.name = "Rex";
dog.age = 1;

Realm realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
realm.executeTransaction(new Realm.Transaction() {
    @Override
    public void execute(Realm realm) {
        realm.copyToRealmOrUpdate(dog);
    }
});

RealmResults<Dog> pups = realm.where(Dog.class)
                               .lessThan("age", 2)
                               .findAll();

Objective-C

@interface Dog : RLMObject
@property NSString *name;
@property NSInteger age;
@end
@implementation Dog
@end

Dog *dog = [Dog new];
dog.name = @"Rex";
dog.age = 1;

RLMRealm *realm = [RLMRealm defaultRealm];
[realm transactionWithBlock:^{
    [realm addObject:dog];
}];

RLMResults<Dog *> *allDogs = [Dog allObjects];
RLMResults<Dog *> *pups = [allDogs objectsWhere:@"age < 2"];

Swift

Create Object Class:

class Dog: Object {
    dynamic var name = ""
    dynamic var age = 0
}

Assign Object’s Values:

let dog = Dog()
dog.name = "Rex"
dog.age = 1

Save Object:

let realm = try! Realm()
try! realm.write {
    realm.add(dog)
}

Reading Objects:

let realm = try! Realm()
let pups = realm.objects(Dog.self)

Filtering Objects:

let realm = try! Realm()
let filteredPups = realm.objects(Dog.self).filter("age < 2")

Counting Objects:

let realm = try! Realm()
let pupsCount = realm.objects(Dog.self).count

Xamarin

public class Dog : RealmObject 
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
}

var realm = Realm.GetInstance();
realm.Write(() => 
{
    var mydog = realm.CreateObject<Dog>();
    mydog.Name = "Rex";
    mydog.Age = 1;
});

var pups = realm.All<Dog>().Where(d => d.Age < 2);

React-Native

class Dog {}

Dog.schema = {
    name: 'Dog',
    properties: {
        name: 'string',
        age: 'int',
    }
};

let realm = new Realm();
realm.write(() => {
    realm.create('Dog', {name: 'Rex', age: 1});
});

let pups = realm.objects('Dog').filtered('age > 2');
