ClientResetMode

All unsynchronized local changes are automatically discarded and the local state is automatically reverted to the most recent state from the server. Unsynchronized changes can then be recovered in the post-client-reset callback block.

If .discardLocal is enabled but the client reset operation is unable to complete then the client reset process reverts to manual mode. Example: During a destructive schema change this mode will fail and invoke the manual client reset handler.

user.configuration(partitionValue: "myPartition", clientResetMode: .discardUnsyncedChanges({ before in
var recoveryConfig = Realm.Configuration()
recoveryConfig.fileURL = myRecoveryPath
do {
   before.writeCopy(configuration: recoveryConfig)
   // The copied realm could be used later for recovery, debugging, reporting, etc.
} catch {
   // handle error
}
}, nil))

Example Usage

user.configuration(partitionValue: "myPartition", clientResetMode: .discardUnsyncedChanges( nil, { before, after in
// This block could be used to add custom recovery logic, back-up a realm file, send reporting, etc.
for object in before.objects(myClass.self) {
    let res = after.objects(myClass.self)
    if (res.filter("primaryKey == %@", object.primaryKey).first != nil) {
        // ...custom recovery logic...
    } else {
        // ...custom recovery logic...
    }
}
}))

The client device will download a realm realm which reflects the latest state of the server after a client reset. A recovery process is run locally in an attempt to integrate the server version with any local changes from before the client reset occurred.

The changes are integrated with the following rules:

1. Objects created locally that were not synced before client reset will be integrated.
2. If an object has been deleted on the server, but was modified on the client, the delete takes precedence and the update is discarded
3. If an object was deleted on the client, but not the server, then the client delete instruction is applied.
4. In the case of conflicting updates to the same field, the client update is applied.

If the recovery integration fails, the client reset process falls back to ClientResetMode.manual. The recovery integration will fail if the “Client Recovery” setting is not enabled on the server. Integration may also fail in the event of an incompatible schema change.

user.configuration(partitionValue: "myPartition", clientResetMode: .discardUnsyncedChanges({ before in
var recoveryConfig = Realm.Configuration()
recoveryConfig.fileURL = myRecoveryPath
do {
   before.writeCopy(configuration: recoveryConfig)
   // The copied realm could be used later for recovery, debugging, reporting, etc.
} catch {
   // handle error
}
}, nil))

user.configuration(partitionValue: "myPartition", clientResetMode: .discardUnsyncedChanges( nil, { before, after in
// This block could be used to add custom recovery logic, back-up a realm file, send reporting, etc.
for object in before.objects(myClass.self) {
    let res = after.objects(myClass.self)
    if (res.filter("primaryKey == %@", object.primaryKey).first != nil) {
        // ...custom recovery logic...
    } else {
        // ...custom recovery logic...
    }

}
}))

The manual client reset mode handler can be set in two places:

1. As an ErrorReportingBlock argument in the ClientResetMode enum (`ErrorReportingBlock? = nil`).
2. As an ErrorReportingBlock in the SyncManager.errorHandler property.
