Different implementations for CoreData in the Swift3 version for Facesnap and TodoList

Hi folks, Hi Pasan Premaratne

There are two different implementations for the CoreDataController in the Swift3 project files for the Facesnap and the TodoList application. Which one is correct? Both are working so what are the differences?

Thanks, Patrick

Hey eberhapa

There is no one correct way to create a Core Data helper so to your first question the answer is neither :) If they both work they are both good candidates. The files for TodoList were written by a different teacher so they vary from mine but you can use either one.

It's been a while since I looked at those courses so let me take a look and get back to you on differences

Alright. The TodoList version is the same code which apple provides when creating a new project with CoreData. Your way is the more specific and customizable, am i right?

Thanks

Yeah in general we try to remove things from the AppDelegate so it doesn't clutter the class up with several responsibilities. For what its worth, this is already different in Swift 3 so the code certainly needs updating.
