SharingGRDB is now SQLiteData

[stephencelis]

If you are a beta tester of the cloudkit branch you will notice some breaking changes when pulling down the latest.

The biggest change: SharingGRDB has been renamed to SQLiteData. You will want to point your project and library code to this new module after upgrading. And you will want to delete and reinstall your app on any simulator/devices before testing.

SharingGRDB has grown a lot from its humble beginnings as a simple intermediate library between our Sharing library and GRDB, and so we think the new name will better reflect that 😄

When we merge cloudkit into main we will rename this repo, create an archive repo with the old name, and cut 1.0.0. Stay tuned!

Just a heads up that we have officially released SQLiteData 1.0! Thanks to all of our beta testers for helping us track down bugs and giving us valuable feedback.

Important: If you were using the beta library in your app then you will need to reset your CloudKit containers and delete the app of your devices before upgrading to the official release of the library.

FYI upon this news, I've shared the repo here and it is currently on the front page, receiving some attention and discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45275582

Thanks @aehlke! Looks like some civil conversation over there and some misunderstandings 😂.

@mbrandonw the flippant dismissals are wild to me... I don't know why some people are so reluctant to investigate modern CloudKit integrations as if any production-ready alternatives outside Apple exist at all. This is a very special library that I hope to help spread word on

[stephencelis]

@aehlke Happy to hear your enthusiasm! Please let us know your experience using the library and if we can improve anything.

[aehlke]

I will let you know. And I will share experiences here/publicly with using it cross-platform if GRDB is able to merge the Android PR.

don't rename next time.
I need to fix so many issues.

[mbrandonw]

Hi @qoli, can you explain more? It should only be a matter of changing the repo you depend on to the new url and doing a search-replace of “import SharingGRDB” with “import SQLiteData” in your code.

And the old repo is still around if you want to delay doing that little bit of work until a later time.

[qoli]

I don't know why.
I just search-replace of “import SharingGRDB” with “import SQLiteData” in my code.
I got 68 issues.

but I change to codex to do this.
it do same way, but no issue.

btw, some like FetchableRecord, PersistableRecord, change to need to import GRDB, not in SQLiteData.

[mbrandonw]

Yes, if you are using GRDB tools then you should import GRDB.
