Simplify your code to its minimum expression with this set of Kotlin extensions for Realm. Forget all boilerplate related with Realm API and perform database operations in one line of code with this lightweight library. Full test coverage.

- From 2.0 version, your database entities can either extend from RealmObject or implement RealmModule interface.
All methods below use Realm default configuration. You can use different Realm configurations per model with RealmConfigStore.init(Entity::class.java, myConfiguration). See application class from sample for details. Thanks to @magillus for its PR.
All your entities should extend RealmObject.
User user = new User("John");
Realm realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
try{
realm.executeTransaction(realm -> {
realm.copyToRealmOrUpdate(user);
});
} finally {
realm.close();
}User("John").save()Save method creates or updates your entity into database. You can also use create() method, which only create a new entity into database. If a previous one exists with the same primary key, it will throw an exception.
List<User> users = new ArrayList<User>(...);
Realm realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
try {
realm.executeTransaction(realm -> {
realm.copyToRealmOrUpdate(users);
});
} finally {
realm.close();
}listOf<User>(...).saveAll()If you need to provide your own Realm instance, you can use the saveManaged(Realm) and saveAllManaged(Realm) methods. These methods return managed objects. You should close manually your Realm instance when you finish with them.
- All query extensions return detached realm objects, using copyFromRealm() method.
- All query extensions has two versions. One is an extension of RealmModel, and you need to create an instance of that model to perform your query. The other version is a global parametrized funcion (thanks to @PrashamTrivedi). See below examples for details.
Realm realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
try {
Event firstEvent = realm.where(Event.class).findFirst();
firstEvent = realm.copyFromRealm(event);
} finally {
realm.close();
}val firstEvent = Event().queryFirst() //Or val first = queryFirst<Event> You can use lastItem extension too.
Realm realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
try {
List<Event> events = realm.where(Event.class).findAll();
events = realm.copyFromRealm(event);
} finally {
realm.close();
}val events = Event().queryAll() //Or queryAll<Event>Realm realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
try{
List<Event> events = realm.where(Event.class).equalTo("id",1).findAll();
events = realm.copyFromRealm(event);
} finally {
realm.close();
}val events = Event().query { equalTo("id",1) } //Or query<Event> { ... }
//NOTE: If you have a compilation problems in equalTo method (overload ambiguity error), you can use equalToValue("id",1) insteadIf you only need the first or last result, you can also use:
val first = Event().queryFirst { equalTo("id",1) }
val last = Event().queryLast { equalTo("id",1) }val sortedEvents = Event().querySorted("name",Sort.DESCENDING) val sortedEvents = Event().querySorted("name",Sort.DESCENDING) { equalTo("id",1) }Realm realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
try{
List<Event> events = realm.where(Event.class).findAll();
realm.executeTransaction(realm -> {
events.deleteAllFromRealm();
});
} finally {
realm.close();
}Event().deleteAll() //Or deleteAll<Event>Realm realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
try{
List<Event> events = realm.where(Event.class).equalTo("id",1).findAll().deleteAllFromRealm();
events = realm.copyFromRealm(event);
} finally {
realm.close();
}Event().delete { equalTo("id", 1) }Realm realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
Flowable<List<Event>> obs = realm.where(Event.class).findAllAsync()
.asFlowable()
.filter(RealmResults::isLoaded)
.map(realm::copyFromRealm)
.doOnUnsubscribe(() -> realm.close());val obs = Event().queryAllAsFlowable() //Or queryAllAsFlowable<Event>Realm realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
Flowable<List<Event>> obs = realm.where(Event.class).equalTo("id",1).findAllAsync()
.asFlowable()
.filter(RealmResults::isLoaded)
.map(realm::copyFromRealm)
.doOnUnsubscribe(() -> realm.close());val obs = Event().queryAsFlowable { equalTo("id",1) }These kind of observable queries have to be performed on a thread with a looper attached to it. If you perform an observable query on the main thread, it will run on this thread. If you perform the query on a background thread, a new thread with a looper attached will be created for you to perform the query. This thread will be listen for data changes and it will terminate when you call unsubscribe() on your subscription.
val single = Event().queryAllAsSingle()
val single = Event().queryAsSingle { equalTo("id", 1) }
If you need to perform several operations in one transaction, you can do:
executeTransaction {
User().deleteAll() //Or deleteAll<User>()
newUsers.saveAll()
}Realm needs to perform observable queries and async queries in a thread with a looper attached to it. This library has that into account, and when you perform queries like queryAsFlowable, queryAsSingle, queryAsync and all other variants, a new thread with a looper attached to it will be created for you if the thread from where you execute the query does not have a looper attached. This thread created by the library will be finished automatically when the subscription is finished, or when the async query return its result.
You need to add these rules if you use proguard, for rxjava and realm:
-keep class com.vicpin.krealmextensions.**
-keepnames public class * extends io.realm.RealmObject
-keepnames public class * extends io.realm.RealmModel
-keep class io.realm.annotations.RealmModule
-keep @io.realm.annotations.RealmModule class *
-keep class io.realm.internal.Keep
-keep @io.realm.internal.Keep class *
-dontwarn io.realm.**
