Backendless Entity not uploading correctly

iOS
1

Hi,

I updated to Backendless 5 and corrected a lot of problems. I have the following code that used to work:

class func updateCurrentUser(with Object: [Objects]) -> Promise {
currentUser.object = Object
return Promise { (fulfill, reject) in
backendless.userService.update(currentUser, response: { responseUser in
fulfill(responseUser!)
}, error: { fault in
reject(fault!)
})
}
}

The Object is correct and is of type “BackendlessEntity”, This object should fill out another table that has a relational link to the user table. The returned user no longer has the object which makes no sense to me and the table remains empty for my users. If i try and retrieve the data it also doesn’t exist.

there doesn’t seem to be any change between the Backendless 3 or Backendless 5 functions for this operation. Could you please clarify why this is not working?

best

Hi,

when you update parent object its children would not be saved, because backendless 5 does not save related objects, only parent object. Please read how to handle relations http://backendless.com/docs/js/doc.html#data_relations_api_set_add_js

So if I understand this correctly. I need to save the child objects in their own table, and then create a relation between them?

Yes, exactly. First you save the child objects, then you save a relation between the parent and the child objects.

Ok this is not working. Do you have a sample iOS app that shows this setup?

6

The documentation for iOS shows examples of the API for saving objects and for creating relations. We’re you able to find it in the docs?

Yes but they don’t work, I think Im missing something

Try debugging the code to understand where things go wrong. Report back what you find out
