Question

I have a Core Data object that contains an NSSet of other objects (e.g. Library object contains NSSet of Books). What’s the best way to check if an instance of Library contains a book with a certain bookID?

Is it possible to be done with Key Value coding or do I have to enumerate all books and check them manually?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use KVC for this.

BOOL bookExists = [[set valueForKey:@"bookID"] containsObject:@"myBookID"];
