until version 10.7.6 of Realm I could convert to dictionary and then to json with this code below, but the ListBase class no longer exists.
extension Object {
func toDictionary() -> NSDictionary {
let properties = self.objectSchema.properties.map { $0.name }
let dictionary = self.dictionaryWithValues(forKeys: properties)
let mutabledic = NSMutableDictionary()
mutabledic.setValuesForKeys(dictionary)
for prop in self.objectSchema.properties as [Property] {
// find lists
if let nestedObject = self[prop.name] as? Object {
mutabledic.setValue(nestedObject.toDictionary(), forKey: prop.name)
} else if let nestedListObject = self[prop.name] as? ListBase { /*Cannot find type 'ListBase' in scope*/
var objects = [AnyObject]()
for index in 0..<nestedListObject._rlmArray.count {
let object = nestedListObject._rlmArray[index] as! Object
objects.append(object.toDictionary())
}
mutabledic.setObject(objects, forKey: prop.name as NSCopying)
}
}
return mutabledic
}
}
let parameterDictionary = myRealmData.toDictionary()
guard let postData = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameterDictionary, options: []) else {
return
}
