Chapter 13. Saving Reviews

Our app is coming along nicely, and we are close to wrapping it up. In the last chapter, we created a restaurant review form, the Create Review form, which allows us to take pictures or use photos from our library. We can apply filters to the photos and even add more filters quickly by updating our plist file.

In this chapter, we will finish up working on the Create Review form. We will get the form fully working and be able to save the data entered into the form to what is known as Core Data. Core Data is a framework that handles persistent data. We will go much deeper into what Core Data is and how to use it in this chapter.

This is what we will cover in this chapter:

  • What is Core Data?

  • Creating our first Core Data model

  • Saving items to Core Data

  • Fetching items from Core Data

  • Display items from Core Data into a table view
