Store NSMutableArray of custom objects in Core Data

Question

I have a NSMutableArray full of a custom object called CHClipboardObject I need to save this array to core data so I can use it to populate a UITableView. I have looked around on how to do this and this is what I've got so far.

Create class called something like ArrayData with one property to hold the NSMutableArray

Serialize/conform to NSCoding my CHClipboardObject which I am not sure how to do.

What do I need to do after these steps?

I need to be able to delete objects in the array from the UITableView by swiping, which I have already implemented.

Make CHClipboardObject as an entity in the model and then show the same in table view using NSFetchResultsController? — Prathamesh Saraf

1) Set the type to "Transformable"

enter image description here

2) Implement methods

-(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder
-(void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)encoder

on your custom object

3) You are ready to go!

Would I implement the methods in my CHClipboardObject or ClippingData?

You need to implement that methods on Array element (which are the elements of the array)
