To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

CoreDataLibrary is a private CocoaPod. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod "CoreDataLibrary" , :git => 'git@github.com:WyldResearchLtd/CoreDataLibrary.git'

2. open the podfile and comment out inherit! line
3. Pun pod install from the Examples directory
4. From Terminal run open 'CoreDataLibrary/Example/CoreDataLibrary.xcworkspace' from the root of the SRC dir

based on http://samwize.com/2014/03/27/step-by-step-guide-to-using-magicalrecord-and-mogenerator/

1. add this to your podfile pod 'MagicalRecord/Shorthand', '~> 2.2'
2. from the Examples dfirectory, run pod install
3. Under /Pods/Development Pods/CoreDataLibrary/Classes, delete ReplaceMe.m
   Right click on the Classes dir in the Project Explorer and choose Add File.
   Select iOS->Source->CocoaTouch class- htis will create both the .m and .h file. Name the new files WRService The contents should be:

WRService.h

//
//  WRService.h
//  CoreDataLibrary Example
//
//  Created by Gene Myers on 21/08/2016.
//
//

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#define MR_SHORTHAND
#import "CoreData+MagicalRecord.h"

@interface WRService : NSObject
@end

WRService.h

//
//  WRService.m
//  CoreDataLibrary Pod
//
//  Created by Gene Myers on 21/08/2016.
//
//

#import "WRService.h"


@implementation WRService

- (id)init {
  self = [super init];
  if (self) {
    [MagicalRecord setupCoreDataStack];
  }
  return self;
}

- (void)dealloc
{
[  MagicalRecord cleanUp];
  //http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7292119/custom-dealloc-and-arc-objective-c
  //[super dealloc];//provided by the compiler
}

@end

4. In the Project Explorer, select the Pods project, then under Build Phases->Link Binaries with Libraries,
   Click on the + to add the MagicalRecord.framework

5. Select the CoreDataLibrary scheme and Run.

6. Select the CoreDataLibrary-Example schema, then Run

7. Install mogenerator with the command $ sudo brew install mogenerator

8. Right click on the Classes directory, select New File. Select iOS->CoreData->Data Model
   Click 'Next', and make sure the CoreDataLibrary target is checked.
   The Model.xcdatamodeld is placed in the Classes directory

9. Add a new Entity to the model (An entity is a Table)- 'TestTable'

10. Add a new attribute to the Entity- 'testattribute' of type String

11. With the model and TestEntity selected, in the data model inspector in the right pane, add 'TestEntity' as the Class

12. Setup a target for mogenerator by running the following comand:
    mogenerator --v2 -m "CoreDataLibrary/Classes/Model.xcdatamodeld" -O "CoreDataLibrary/Classes"
    If successful you will see this output: 2 machine files and 2 human files generated.

13. In your Pods project, open your project properties and tap the “+” button at the bottom of the Targets list.

14. Add an “Aggregate” target (you’ll find it in the iOS/Other grouping). Tap Next.

15. Name the target whatever you’d like. I’ll call mine Mogenerator. Hit Done.

16. Now select the new target you just created, select the “Build Phases” tab, tap “+” to add a build phase then select “New Run Script Build Phase”.

17. Open the Run Script group that just appeared, keep the Shell at /bin/sh, and then enter the following script if you’re using Objective-C. Because the Pods projects source directory is in the Pods directory, we have to modify the script to reference the correct directory (mogenerator --v2 -m "../../CoreDataLibrary/Classes/Model.xcdatamodeld" -O "../../CoreDataLibrary/Classes")

18. Delete the files created in Step 12. Select the mogenerator target and build. This can be used regenerate all the files, if you change the model.

19. Select Pods/Development Pods/Classes dir again and right click and 'Add files to Pods', and add the 4 files.

$mogenerator --v2 -m "Example/CoreDataLibrary/Model/Host.xcdatamodeld" -O "Example/CoreDataLibrary/Model
