init(record:action:)

Creates a reference object that points to the specified record object.

Declaration

convenience init(record: CKRecord, action: CKRecord.ReferenceAction)

Parameters

  • record:

    The target record of the reference.

  • action:

    The ownership options to use for the records. If you specify the Deleteself option, the object that the recordID parameter references becomes the owner of (or acts as the parent of) any objects that use this reference object. For a list of possible values, see Referenceaction.

Return Value

An initialized reference object that points to the specified record.

Discussion

Use this method to initialize a reference to a local record object. You can reference a local record that you create, or one that you fetch from the server.

When you create a reference object for use in a search predicate, the predicate ignores the value in the action parameter. Search predicates use only the ID of the record during their comparison.
