NowTableService class - iOS
The NowTableService class provides functions that enable you to perform create, read, update, and delete operations on records of existing ServiceNow tables.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| configuration | NowServiceConfiguration | Configuration settings provided when the service was initialized. |
NowTableService - create<Model: SysIdentifiableModel>(_ model: Model, in tableName: String, coder: Coder, writeOptions: FieldWriteOptions, configuration: FetchConfiguration) async throws
Inserts the specified Codable model into the specified table.
In order to create a new record by model, the model must conform to the SysIdentifiableModel protocol. Each table will typically have its own model.
The model's sys_Id parameter is ignored during creation as the sysId is generated by the ServiceNow platform. The ServiceNow platform generated sys_Id is returned in the completion handler's Result model.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| model | SysIdentifiableModel | Model definition of the fields to insert into the table. |
| in tableName | String | Name of the table in which to write the records, such as incident. |
| coder | Coder | Optional. Coder to use to encode or decode data sent to and received from the ServiceNow instance.Possible values:
Default: .default |
| writeOptions | FieldWriteOptions | Optional. Configuration options to apply to the data being written to the record. Default: nil |
| configuration | FetchConfiguration | Optional. Configuration to apply to the retrieved records, including filters that define the records to return, pagination page size limit, which fields to retrieve, and what to include in the fields. Default: nil - All records returned. |
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Model | Returned when the method is successful. Codable model that was inserted in the specified table, including the sys_Id. Use this sys_id to reference this record in future method calls. |
| NowDataError | Thrown when the method fails.
|
The following code example shows how to call this method.
struct User: SysIdentifiableModel {
var sysId: String = ""
var name: String

NowTableService - create<Model: SysIdentifiableModel>(_ model: Model, in tableName: String, coder: Coder, writeOptions: FieldWriteOptions, configuration: FetchConfiguration, completion: @escaping (Result<Model, NowDataError>))

SysIdentifiableModel protocol. Each table will typically have its own model. For
example:struct User: SysIdentifiableModel {
var sysId: String = ""
var name: String
}
let service: NowTableService = ...
let user = User(name: "Ash Williams")
service.create(Incident(fields: fields), in: tableName, writeOptions: writeOptions, configuration: fetchConfiguration) { [weak self] result in
switch result {
case .success(let newUser):
/// 'newUser' contains the platform assigned 'sys_id', use in subsequent 'update' or 'delete' calls.
case .failure(let error):
...
}
}The model's sys_Id parameter is ignored during creation as the
sysId is generated by the ServiceNow platform.
The ServiceNow platform generated sys_Id is
returned in the completion handler's Result model.
