Re: Using CoreData with AppleScript Studio



Hi Takaaki,

Many thanks for supplying a solution.
The funny thing is, that I just wrote (a minute ago) some emails to some of my customers that I haven't found a solution to combine ASS and Core Data within one of my apps.
I will try that code immediately.


Regards
Andreas Kiel

We can make core data app with AppleScript Studio. The app can access to
selected row. I'll show the way. Attached file is the sample project.


step1: Make "Core Data Application"
step2: Add "AppleScript kit" framework to the project
step3: Rewrite main.m like this....

<code>
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#import <mach-o/dyld.h>

extern int NSApplicationMain(int argc, const char *argv[]);

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
if (NSIsSymbolNameDefined("_ASKInitialize"))
{
NSSymbol *symbol = NSLookupAndBindSymbol("_ASKInitialize");
if (symbol)
{
void (*initializeASKFunc)(void) = NSAddressOfSymbol (symbol);
if (initializeASKFunc)
{
initializeASKFunc();
}
}
}


    return NSApplicationMain(argc, argv);
}
</code>

step4: Add "AppleScript text file"
step5: Add "AppleScript Build phase" to target
step6: Regist AppleScript file(step4) to AppleScript Build phase (step5)
step7: Make some CoreData model
step8: Drop entity from Xcode to IB
step9: Do ASS work as usual....


That's all. We may be able to access whole data by using OSAX such as
SQLiteAddOns. If we can get the sample Objective-C code to access data, the
OSAX is not be needed.



--SQLiteAddOns OSAX <http://sqlabs.net>

Joel,

I tried both the Apple core data example and the one from the
"cocoadevcentral", they both work and both together give a quite good
overview of what can be done with simple means, as well how a data
model could work or work not.
I tried to implement a data model into an ASS app, which
unfortunately did not work and I tried to implement AS into the Cocoa
app, where I did not succeed either. That's definitively my lack of
of knowledge, but I haven't found any docs on how to do.
While rebuilding the mentioned examples I was also quite disappointed
that the relations that can be defined are not that kind of relations
I'm used to for example from Filemaker (or other theoretical data
modeling) they seem to be some kind "just a connection" and also here
I did not find any docs which were more in depth. So for now I gave up.
If you are able to create a small Objective-C app that uses CoreData
it should work - I think. But I wouldn't expect too much from it from
that what I've seen. But that's only an opinion of somebody who knows
too little.


Regards
Andreas

Andreas,
Thanks for taking the time to answer my query.  How did you try
exactly?

I was thinking of using SQL with my AppleScript app and CoreData
seemed to fit the bill.  Should I explore bundling MySQL/PostgreSQL
instead?

Could I possibly create a small Objective-C app that uses CoreData
and send my SQL commands thru it instead?

Thanks in advance,
Joel

Folks,
Another noob question, but is it possible to use CoreData from an
AppleScript Studio application?

I browsed the documentation high and low and I couldn't find
anything
on the combination.

Thanks in advance,
Joel
