Results
public final class Results<T: Object>: ResultsBase
Results is an auto-updating container type in Realm returned from object queries.
Results can be queried with the same predicates as List<T>, and you can chain
queries to further filter query results.
Results always reflect the current state of the Realm on the current thread,
including during write transactions on the current thread. The one exception to
this is when using for...in enumeration, which will always enumerate over the
objects which matched the query when the enumeration is begun, even if
some of them are deleted or modified to be excluded by the filter during the
enumeration.
Results are lazily evaluated the first time they are accessed; they only
run queries when the result of the query is requested. This means that
chaining several temporary Results to sort and filter your data does not
perform any extra work processing the intermediate state.
Once the results have been evaluated or a notification block has been added, the results are eagerly kept up-to-date, with the work done to keep them up-to-date done on a background thread whenever possible.
Results cannot be directly instantiated.

Warning
Only a property whose type conforms to the
MinMaxTypeprotocol can be specified.Declaration

-
Registers a block to be called each time the results collection changes.
The block will be asynchronously called with the initial results, and then called again after each write transaction which changes either any of the objects in the collection, or which objects are in the collection.
The
changeparameter that is passed to the block reports, in the form of indices within the collection, which of the objects were added, removed, or modified during each write transaction. See theRealmCollectionChangedocumentation for more information on the change information supplied and an example of how to use it to update aUITableView.At the time when the block is called, the collection will be fully evaluated and up-to-date, and as long as you do not perform a write transaction on the same thread or explicitly call
realm.refresh(), accessing it will never perform blocking work.Notifications are delivered via the standard run loop, and so can’t be delivered while the run loop is blocked by other activity. When notifications can’t be delivered instantly, multiple notifications may be coalesced into a single notification. This can include the notification with the initial collection. For example, the following code performs a write transaction immediately after adding the notification block, so there is no opportunity for the initial notification to be delivered first. As a result, the initial notification will reflect the state of the Realm after the write transaction.
let dogs = realm.objects(Dog.self) print("dogs.count: \(dogs?.count)") // => 0 let token = dogs.addNotificationBlock { (changes: RealmCollectionChange) in switch changes { case .Initial(let dogs): // Will print "dogs.count: 1" print("dogs.count: \(dogs.count)") break case .Update: // Will not be hit in this example break case .Error: break } } try! realm.write { let dog = Dog() dog.name = "Rex" person.dogs.append(dog) } // end of run loop execution contextYou must retain the returned token for as long as you want updates to continue to be sent to the block. To stop receiving updates, call
stop()on the token.Warning
This method cannot be called during a write transaction, or when the containing Realm is read-only.
Declaration
Swift
public func addNotificationBlock(block: (RealmCollectionChange<Results> -> Void)) -> NotificationTokenParameters
blockThe block to be called whenever a change occurs.
Return Value
A token which must be retained for as long as you want updates to be delivered.

past the end
position.endIndexis not a valid argument tosubscript, and is always reachable fromstartIndexby zero or more applications ofsuccessor().Declaration
