It is very difficult for me to find documentation or examples of creating a new managed object, setting its values and saving it on the server using Restkit.
I have an NSManagedObject message:
@interface Post : NSManagedObject
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSNumber * postID;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString * title;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString * text;
@end
This is my AppDelegate Setup:
RKLogConfigureByName("RestKit/Network", RKLogLevelTrace);
NSError *error = nil;
NSURL *modelURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"My_App" ofType:@"momd"]];
NSManagedObjectModel *managedObjectModel = [[[NSManagedObjectModel alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:modelURL] mutableCopy];
RKManagedObjectStore *managedObjectStore = [[RKManagedObjectStore alloc] initWithManagedObjectModel:managedObjectModel];
[AFNetworkActivityIndicatorManager sharedManager].enabled = YES;
[managedObjectStore createPersistentStoreCoordinator];
NSPersistentStore __unused *persistentStore = [managedObjectStore addInMemoryPersistentStore:&error];
NSAssert(persistentStore, @"Failed to add persistent store: %@", error);
[managedObjectStore createManagedObjectContexts];
managedObjectStore.managedObjectCache = [[RKInMemoryManagedObjectCache alloc] initWithManagedObjectContext:managedObjectStore.persistentStoreManagedObjectContext];
[RKManagedObjectStore setDefaultStore:managedObjectStore];
RKObjectManager *objectManager = [RKObjectManager managerWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://localhost:3000/api/v1"]];
objectManager.managedObjectStore = managedObjectStore;
NSString *auth_token = [[LUKeychainAccess standardKeychainAccess] stringForKey:@"auth_token"];
[objectManager.HTTPClient setAuthorizationHeaderWithToken:auth_token];
[RKObjectManager setSharedManager:objectManager];
RKEntityMapping *postMapping = [RKEntityMapping mappingForEntityForName:@"Post" inManagedObjectStore:managedObjectStore];
[postMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:@{
@"title": @"title",
@"text": @"text",
@"id": @"postID"}];
RKResponseDescriptor *postResponseDescriptor = [RKResponseDescriptor responseDescriptorWithMapping:postMapping pathPattern:nil keyPath:@"post" statusCodes:RKStatusCodeIndexSetForClass(RKStatusCodeClassSuccessful)];
[objectManager addResponseDescriptor:postResponseDescriptor];
Now, in my NewPostViewController, when I click the "Save" button, I have on my navigator, what do I need to do to save this message on my server?
Here is what I tried, but it does not work correctly. I enter the success block and my server received a POST, but the fields are zero:
- (void)savePost {
RKManagedObjectStore *objectStore = [[RKObjectManager sharedManager] managedObjectStore];
Post *post = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Post" inManagedObjectContext:objectStore.mainQueueManagedObjectContext];
[post setTitle:@"The Title"];
[post setText:@"The Text"];
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager] postObject:post path:@"posts" parameters:nil success:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, RKMappingResult *mappingResult) {
NSLog(@"Success saving post");
} failure:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"Failure saving post: %@", error.localizedDescription);
}];
}
