Realm Coroutines

No longer maintained

Realm now has official coroutine support. You can check out the API here.

A collection of convenience extension functions for realm database.

Usage

launch {
    // main thread
    val realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance()
    realm.transactAwait {
        // Different thread
        val testObject = TestObject(name = "Some Test")
        it.copyToRealm(testObject)
    }
    
    val result = realm.where<TestObject>().awaitFirst()
    ...
}

Offline Objects Support

Realm objects queried from the db cannot be used in different threads without explicitly disconnecting the objects as follows:

val realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance()
val result = realm.where<TestObject>().findFirst()
val offlineResult = realm.copyFromRealm(result)
launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
    // Do something with offlineResult
}

Now with the added offline functions, it can be done as follows:

val realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance()
val result = realm.where<TestObject>().firstOffline()
launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
    // Do something with result
}

With flows:

 launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
    val realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance()
    val resultsFlow = realm.where<TestObject>().flowAll()
    val testObjects = resultsFlow.take(1).first()
 }
 

Note

Don't use frozen objects if you are planning to use this library. You can't attach listeners to frozen objects meaning you can't convert the callbacks to suspended functions/flows As of version 1.0.0, attempting to use a frozen object with this library will raise a FrozenException
