Realm-cocoa: How to replace default Realm with another Realm (in the bundle)?

[luna-kx]

I've been reading a bunch of Stack Overflow posts and the documentation, but I can't seem to achieve the results I'm after. :grimacing:

Goals

I am building a game where most of the in-game content, add-ons, etc are being stored in Realm. I would like to pre-populate a Realm (that's being stored in the app's bundle) with this data and copy all of it to the default Realm when the app is launched for the first time.

• Content will have an unlocked value that will determine if the user can see that bit of content.

Expected Results

• Pre-build all game content in Realm.

• Copy all data to the default Realm on first launch.

  Actual Results

• Nothing right now, Not sure where to start.

  Version of Realm and Tooling

• Realm v0.98.5

• Xcode Version 7.2.1 (7C1002)
• OS X 10.11.3 (15D21)
• RealmSwift on iOS
• Carthage

I'd appreciate a push in the right direction. :dancer:

Have you read the Bundling a Realm with an App section of our docs? I recommend you start there, and if you run into problems, let us know what went wrong.

Thanks @jpsim! I'll take a look and see how far I get. :+1:

The Bundling a Realm with an App guide got me pretty far in achieving what I wanted, but I'm having issues figuring out how to create a fresh/empty *.realm file. Could you point me in the right direction?

[jpsim]

let path = Realm.Configuration.defaultConfiguration.path!
// delete any previously created Realm files
do {
  try NSFileManager.defaultManager().removeItemAtPath(path)
} catch {}
_ = try! Realm()
print("empty Realm created at path: \(path)")

Thanks again, @jpsim! :+1:
