Subclassing PFObject in Swift

Question

The Parse documentation for adding properties and methods on PFObject subclasses conveniently skips the Swift syntax in their sample code listing just the Objective-C syntax:

https://parse.com/docs/ios_guide#subclasses-properties/iOS

// Armor.h
@interface Armor : PFObject<PFSubclassing>
+ (NSString *)parseClassName;
@property (retain) NSString *displayName;
@end

// Armor.m
@dynamic displayName;

Has anyone figured out a work around for Swift's lack of dynamic synthesizers in order to implement properties and methods with PFSubclassing? I want to be able to do something like:

class Armor : PFObject, PFSubclassing {
    class func parseClassName() -> String! {
        return "Armor"
    }
}

var armor = Armor()
armor.displayName = "Iron Clad"

Answer 1

I had this same problem. Had to add @NSManaged to the properties I wanted saved:

class Armor : PFObject, PFSubclassing {
    @NSManaged var displayName: String

    class func parseClassName() -> String! {
        return "Armor"
    }
}

var armor = Armor.object()
armor.displayName = "Iron Clad"

Hopefully this is resolved in the next update.
