Operations on core data

To Get context:

NSManagedObjectContext *context = ((AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]).persistentContainer.viewContext;

To fetch data:

NSFetchRequest<EntityName *> *fetchRequest = [EntityName fetchRequest];
NSError *error ;
NSArray *resultArray= [context executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error];

To fetch data with sorting:

NSFetchRequest<EntityName *> *fetchRequest = [EntityName fetchRequest];
NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"someKey" ascending:YES];
fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = @[sortDescriptor];
NSError *error ;
NSArray *resultArray= [context executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error];

To add data:

NSManagedObject *entityNameObj = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"EntityName" inManagedObjectContext:context];
[entityNameObj setValue:@"someValue" forKey:@"someKey"];

To save context:

[((AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]) saveContext];
