Hi ,
on extension Realm: CascadeDeleting
I get error messsage
'CascadeDeleting' requires that 'Realm' be a class type
Non-class type 'Realm' cannot conform to class protocol 'CascadeDeleting'
How to solve this issue ?
Hi,
Do you have a code example as I would need to see it to be able to help you, out of my head are you declaring your Realm objects as classes or structs?
The file on its own will not compile. You need to drag it into your Xcode project which has Realm already and then it should compile if it does not at first try cleaning the project and CMD+B for building it and it should work fine. I have just rerun one of my projects which uses it and works as it should. If it is still not working then, please reply what you have tried so far.
I did Clean my project and I did also Clean Build Folder
nothing change same error
I did drag it to my project which have Realm already
see the image

Could you try to update RealmSwift to last version ?
because I'm on last version
I just remove :class from protocol
and it working fine
from
protocol CascadeDeleting: class {
func delete<S: Sequence>(_ objects: S, cascading: Bool) where S.Iterator.Element: Object
func delete<Entity: Object>(_ entity: Entity, cascading: Bool)
}
to
protocol CascadeDeleting {
func delete<S: Sequence>(_ objects: S, cascading: Bool) where S.Iterator.Element: Object
func delete<Entity: Object>(_ entity: Entity, cascading: Bool)
}
but still get error
RLMArray has been invalidated or the containing object has been deleted
this error not related to the delete itself
I did notice the Realm file and see them both deleted successfuly
Thank you it's helpfull and makes our life easier !
If I change it to AnyObject
the error message return back
'CascadeDeleting' requires that 'Realm' be a class type
Non-class type 'Realm' cannot conform to class protocol 'CascadeDeleting'
The reason that I remove class
it I notce the Realm is of type struct
and I remembers on version v4.0.0
on release note they said :
The following Swift types have changed from final class to struct:
AnyRealmCollection
LinkingObjects
ObjectiveCSupport
Realm
Results
SyncSubscription
ThreadSafeReference
There is no intended change in semantics from this, but certain edge cases
may behave differently.
That makes sense as the class modifier and later AnyObject modifier restricts the protocol to class only types since you say that Realm changed it's libraries to Structs the modifier is causing an error I will update it on my gist as well. Thanks for the input.
I refactored this into a more functional solution, hope it helps someone:
extension Realm {
func cascadeDelete(_ entity: [Object]) {
var toBeDeleted = Set(entity)
while let element = toBeDeleted.popFirst() {
guard !element.isInvalidated, element.realm != nil else { continue }
resolve(element: element, toBeDeleted: &toBeDeleted)
delete(element)
}
}
private func resolve(element: Object, toBeDeleted: inout Set<Object>) {
func foundChild(entity: Object) {
toBeDeleted.insert(entity)
}
func foundChild(list: RealmSwift.ListBase) {
(0..<list._rlmArray.count)
.map(list._rlmArray.object)
.compactMap { $0 as? Object }
.forEach(foundChild)
}
element
.objectSchema
.properties
.map(\.name)
.compactMap(element.value(forKey:))
.forEach { value in
if let entity = value as? Object {
foundChild(entity: entity)
} else if let list = value as? RealmSwift.ListBase {
foundChild(list: list)
}
}
}
}
@stefanrenne Thanks for sharing your solution.
@stefanrenne and @verebes, because you are both using a Set for toBeDeleted, you are missing the objects which have the same hash.
I modified your solution to work with Objective-C Realm and changed it to use an Array instead of Set.

Thanks for the source.
Example
/// Birthday.
@objcMembers public class Birthday: Object {
/// The brith day.
public static let day: Int = 1
/// The brith day.
public static let month: Int = 1
/// The brith day.
public static let year: Int = 2010
}
This is true for objects without a primary key.
Hello, does anyone has a solution for this ? Just updated Realm to the latest version and now I get this message "No type named 'ListBase' in module 'RealmSwift'".
private func resolve(element: Object, toBeDeleted: inout Set<RLMObjectBase>) {
element.objectSchema.properties.forEach {
guard let value = element.value(forKey: $0.name) else { return }
if let entity = value as? RLMObjectBase {
toBeDeleted.insert(entity)
} else if let list = value as? RealmSwift.ListBase { /// <--- Error appears here !
for index in 0 ..< list._rlmArray.count {
if let realmObject = list._rlmArray.object(at: index) as? RLMObjectBase {
toBeDeleted.insert(realmObject)
}
}
}
}
delete(element)
}Thank you !
faced same problem. Looking for solution for "No type named 'ListBase' in module 'RealmSwift'".
Probably won't fix all the situations, but you can solve some of the issue by using Embedded Objects.
Realm Uses Cascading Deletes for Embedded Objects
When you delete a Realm object, Realm automatically deletes any embedded objects referenced by that object. Any objects that your application must persist after the deletion of their parent object should use relationships instead.
I haven't used Realm for a while now. but I can point to the right place in Realm Docs
Two things come to my mind trying RealmSwift.List instead RealmSwift.ListBase
And cleaning your derived data folder from Xcode.
Again these are only some ideas to go forward. I haven't tried them.
@jhoanarango @niralishaha25 as mentioned before, you can use Embedded Objects for automated cascade deleting. But if you still want to use the snippet on realm v10+, that should work as follows:
private func resolve(element: Object, toBeDeleted: inout Set<RLMObjectBase>) {
element.objectSchema.properties.forEach {
guard let value = element.value(forKey: $0.name) else { return }
if let entity = value as? RLMObjectBase {
toBeDeleted.insert(entity)
} else if let list = value as? RLMSwiftCollectionBase {
for index in 0..<list._rlmCollection.count {
if let entity = list._rlmCollection.object(at: index) as? RLMObjectBase {
toBeDeleted.insert(entity)
}
}
}
}
delete(element)
}
@aleyooop Thanks for your input. I've updated the Gist with your suggestion.
Hey, What's your license for this? I don't see one mention so I assume is proprietary code?
