how can I send coordinates to parse and save it as parse PFGeopoint


How can i send coordinates to Parse fetched by CLLocation and save it there as PFGeoPoint's latitude and longitude?

I am able to get the coordinates from CLLocation and I want to send it to Parse. In Parse I have a column named "coordinates" of type PFGeoPoint which has two fields.Now I want to save the coordinates which I have got from CLLocation to Parse Column coordinates. can anyone please help me with this? I am new to iOS and Parse.


Solution

  • Two steps:

    1. Convert CLLocation to PFGeoPoint

      //SWIFT
      let point = PFGeoPoint(location: currentLoc)
      
      //Obj-c
      [PFGeoPoint *point = PFGeoPoint geoPointWithLocation:(PF_NULLABLE CLLocation *)location];
      
    2. Now save it.

      //SWIFT
      object["coordinates"] = point
      object.saveInBackgroundWithBlock {
        (success: Bool, error: NSError?) -> Void in
        if (success) {
                  // The object has been saved.
        } else {
                  // There was a problem, check error.description
        }
      }
      
      //Obj-c
      object["coordinates"] = point;
      [object saveInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {
        if (succeeded) {
          // The object has been saved.
        } else {
          // There was a problem, check error.description
        }
      }];
