In my Core Data app, I have objects with a date property, and I want to maintain a list of all years that I have objects in. I'm having trouble settling on an approach.
Currently, I'm listening for NSManagedObjectContextObjectsDidChangeNotification. This is working fine for additions and deletions, but it's harder for changes, mainly because I don't know the old value. If I did, I could check if the old year still has any other objects in it. As it is I have to refresh the whole list. I also get more notifications than I need, since I only care about date changes on this one entity. Another option is to use KVO so I can be notified only of date changes. I'm assuming that registering as an observer for potentially thousands of Core Data objects doesn't carry too much overhead. The down side is that if lots of objects change at once, I get lots of individual callbacks, and I worry that that would be a bottleneck. Recommendations? Other options?
