I have read over the readme but I have not seen any examples of how to pull data from two entities if there is a relationship. For example if I had one entity that was Manager and one that was Employee. I wanted the result output to show the employee and the employee's manager. Is this type of query supported in CoreStore?

I'm not sure I understood your question. You can fetch the employee and then access the manager for that employee. So if you have these entities:

class Employee: NSManagedObject {
    // ...
    @NSManaged var manager: Manager?
}
class Manager: NSManagedObject {
    // ...
    @NSManaged var employee: Employee?
}

You can fetch the employee

let employee = CoreStore.fetchOne(
    From<Employee>(),
    Where( ... ) // some condition
)

and then access the manager

let manager = employee.manager

Does this answer your question?

Ok yes that does answer it. Do you need to set up the entities as classes like you show above for it to work or can I use the xcmappingmodel file to set up the entities only?

You can create the xcdatamodeld file and let Xcode automatically generate the class code for you.
