7. RestKit Features Integrated HTTP Stack Pluggable Parser Object Mapping Core

   Data Integration UI Integration Thursday, 27 June, 13

8. Integrated HTTP Stack Base URLs Custom Header Network Indicator Performing

   Requests Background Processing Authentication Request caching Thursday, 27 June, 13

9. Integrated HTTP Stack / / create client RKClient *client =

   [RKClient clientWithBaseURL:@”http:/ /github.org”]; / / set header [client setValue:[[[UIDevice currentDevice] identifierForVendor] UUIDString] forHTTPHeaderField:@”X-UDID”]; / / set indicator behavior client.requestQueue.showsNetworkActivityIndicatorWhenBusy = YES; Thursday, 27 June, 13

10. Performing Request - (IBAction)forkYouWithBlocks { self.imageView.image = nil; [[RKClient sharedClient]

    get:@"http:/ /github.com/fluidicon.png" usingBlock:^(RKRequest *request) { [request setBackgroundPolicy:RKRequestBackgroundPolicyContinue]; [request setOnDidLoadResponse:^(RKResponse *response) { if (response.isSuccessful) { UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:response.body]; self.imageView.image = image; } }]; }]; } Thursday, 27 June, 13

11. Background Processing [request setBackgroundPolicy:RKRequestBackgroundPolicyContinue]; RKRequestBackgroundPolicyNone / / do nothing RKRequestBackgroundPolicyCancel

    / / cancel request RKRequestBackgroundPolicyContinue / / continue RKRequestBackgroundPolicyRequeue / / requeue upon app restart Thursday, 27 June, 13

12. Object Mapping Simple Object Mapping Mapping Relationships Inverse Mappings Serialization

    Mappings Thursday, 27 June, 13

13. Object mapping { id: 1, name: “Peter”, location: “Hong Kong”,

    followers: 1, email: “test@example.com”, following: 36 } @interface User : NSObject @property (strong, nonatomic) NSNumber *id; @property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *name; @property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *location; @property (strong, nonatomic) NSNumber *followers; @property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *email; @property (strong, nonatomic) NSNumber *following; @end Thursday, 27 June, 13

14. Object mapping / / register mapping for a class objectMapping

    = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[User class]]; [objectMapping mapKeyPath:@"id" toAttribute:@"id"]; [objectMapping mapKeyPath:@"name" toAttribute:@"name"]; [objectMapping mapKeyPath:@"location" toAttribute:@"location"]; [objectMapping mapKeyPath:@"email" toAttribute:@"email"]; [objectMapping mapKeyPath:@"following" toAttribute:@"following"]; [objectMapping mapKeyPath:@"followers" toAttribute:@"followers"]; Thursday, 27 June, 13

15. Object mapping [[RKObjectManager sharedManager] loadObjectsAtResourcePath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"/users/%@", userName] usingBlock:^(RKObjectLoader *loader) {

    [SVProgressHUD showWithStatus:@"Loading..."]; [loader setObjectMapping:objectMapping]; [loader setOnDidLoadObject:^(id object) { [SVProgressHUD dismiss]; }]; [loader setOnDidFailWithError:^(NSError *error) { [SVProgressHUD showErrorWithStatus:@"Problem loading user"]; }]; }]; Thursday, 27 June, 13

16. Mapping Relationship RKObjectMapping *userMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[User class]]; RKObjectMapping *issueMapping

    = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[Issue class]]; / / create relationships [issueMapping mapKeyPath:@"user" toRelationship:@"user" withMapping:userMapping]; { number: 1, title: “Issue #1”, user: { ... } } @interface Issue : NSObject @property (strong, nonatomic) NSNumber *number; @property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *title; @property (strong, nonatomic) User *user; @end Thursday, 27 June, 13
