Help with Core Data in UIPickerView

[sane]

So I tried many things… I would like to use the Data of a Core Data Attribute for a PickerView
I have an Entity called Task with the Attribute name. I know I need to fetch the data and I already did that, but I don’t know how to just get the values of my Attribute as an Array.

At the moment I use A UIPickerView like this:

let var1 = ["---","test","abc","xyz"]
let var2 = ["---","1","2","3","4","5","6","7"]

func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, titleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> String? {
    
    if(component==0){
        return var1[row]

    }
    return var2[row]
}
func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, numberOfRowsInComponent component: Int) -> Int {
    if(component==0){
        return var1.count
    }
    return var2.count
}
public func numberOfComponents(in pickerView: UIPickerView) -> Int{
    return 2
}


func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, didSelectRow row: Int, inComponent component: Int) {
    if(component==0){
   test1 = var1[row]
    }
    test2 = var2[row]
}

This is how I fetch my Data for an UITableView

    func getData() {
    let context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext
    
    do {
        tasks = try context.fetch(Task.fetchRequest())
        
    }
    catch{
        print("Fetching Failed")
    }
}

So I hope someone can help me noobie getting this running…

When you fetch your tasks, you get an array of NSManagedObjects (or a subclass). You can use that array to provide the info for your PickerView methods.

For example:
Instead of using var1[row], use tasks[row].value(forKeyPath: “name”) - or tasks[row].name
Instead of using var1.count, use tasks.count.

Hope that helps!
