init(recordID:action:)

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

Declaration

init(recordID: CKRecord.ID, action: CKRecord.ReferenceAction)

Parameters

  • recordID:

    The ID of the target record. This method throws an exception if you specify nil for this parameter.

  • action:

    The ownership option use between the target record and any records that incorporate this reference object. If you specify the Deleteself option, the record 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 when you have only the ID of the record for the target of a link. You might use this method if you save only the ID of the record to a local data cache.

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.
