Set User PFObject

Question

I'm building an app with Parse and need the ability to save the current user (PFUser) for a given post they create. Then, I need the ability to retrieve that data when other users view their posts - so they can see the person's profile picture.

What do I use here - PFObject and PFPointer? Please show code examples.

First of all, what platform are you building for? PFUser I would assume you're building fir iOS right? Secondly, READ DOCUMENTATION! This is the exactly same case study they used in their guide! https://parse.com/docs/ios/guide#objects-relational-data — Jack Song, May 23 '15 at 02:41

First of all, I think you should go to the Parse guide because they provide good documentation. That's extremely helpful. Just don't be lazy to read. By the way, Parse does not have something called PFPointers.

You can try it:

let post = PFObject(className: "Post")
post["creator"] = PFUser.currentUser()
post.saveInBackgroundWithBlock {(done: Bool, error: NSError?) in

}

let postQuery = PFQuery(className: "Post")
postQuery.whereKey("creator", equalTo: PFUser.currentUser());
postQuery.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {(result: [AnyObject]?, error: NSError?) in

}

Thanks. Do you know of a way to link a comment with a post? Is this similar, using pointers? – user2579706 May 23 '15 at 04:24
Yes. I suggest you take a detailed look at the **Parse** documentation in order to have a better understanding. – Lucas Huang May 23 '15 at 04:28
