iOS,使用RestKit进行远程服务器搜索

Question

我正在开发一个应用程序,我想对服务器进行远程搜索.我希望RestKit将检索到的数据保存到数据库中.我首先执行本地搜索(当前有效),然后我想进行远程搜索,然后使用新结果更新表格视图.

我有两个问题,1.我的映射应该如何; 2. json返回一个包含两种不同对象的数组.

URL如下所示:

search.json?search=[search string]

它返回的JSON如下所示:

[
  {
    "event": {
      "id": 2,
      [...]
  },
  {
    "news": {
      "id": 16,
      [...]
  }

事件和新闻是两种对象.

在我的应用程序中,我有三个模型,Post(抽象实体和超类)NewsPost(子类到Post)和Event(子类到Post).

我的映射看起来像这样:

RKManagedObjectMapping* newsMapping = [RKManagedObjectMapping mappingForClass:[NewsPost class] inManagedObjectStore:objectManager.objectStore];   
newsMapping.primaryKeyAttribute = @"newsId";
newsMapping.rootKeyPath = @"news";
[newsMapping mapKeyPath:@"id" toAttribute:@"newsId"];

RKManagedObjectMapping *eventMapping = [RKManagedObjectMapping mappingForClass:[CalendarEvent class] inManagedObjectStore:objectManager.objectStore];
eventMapping.primaryKeyAttribute = @"calendarId";
eventMapping.rootKeyPath = @"calendars";
[eventMapping mapKeyPath:@"id" toAttribute:@"calendarId"];

// These two works. 
[objectManager.mappingProvider setObjectMapping:newsMapping forResourcePathPattern:@"/package_components/1/news"];
[objectManager.mappingProvider setObjectMapping:eventMapping forResourcePathPattern:@"/package_components/1/calendars"];

// I don't know how these should look/work. 
// Since the search word can change
[objectManager.mappingProvider setObjectMapping:eventMapping forResourcePathPattern:@"/package_components/1/search\\.json?search="];
[objectManager.mappingProvider setObjectMapping:newsMapping forResourcePathPattern:@"/package_components/1/search\\.json?search="];

我的搜索代码如下(本地搜索工作):

- (void)setUpSearch
{
    if (self.searchField.text != nil) {

        [self.posts removeAllObjects];
        [self.events removeAllObjects];
        [self.news removeAllObjects];

        // Search predicates.
        // Performs local search.
        NSPredicate *contactNamePredicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"contactName contains[cd] %@", self.searchField.text];
        NSPredicate *contactDepartmentPredicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"contactDepartment contains[cd] %@", self.searchField.text];
        [...]

        NSArray *predicatesArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:contactNamePredicate, contactDepartmentPredicate, contactEmailPredicate, contactPhonePredicate, linkPredicate, titlePredicate, nil];

        NSPredicate *predicate = [NSCompoundPredicate orPredicateWithSubpredicates:predicatesArray];

        self.posts = [[Post findAllWithPredicate:predicate] mutableCopy];

        if (self.posts.count != 0) {
            self.noResultsLabel.hidden = YES;
            for (int i = 0; i < self.posts.count; i++) {
                Post * post = [self.posts objectAtIndex:i];
                if (post.calendarEvent == YES) {
                    [self.events addObject:post];
                } else {
                    [self.news addObject:post];
                }
            }
        } 

        // reload the table view
        [self.tableView reloadData];

        [self performRemoteSearch];
    }
}

- (void)search
{    
    [self setUpSearch];
    [self hideKeyboard];
    [self performRemoteSearch];
}


- (void)performRemoteSearch
{
    // Should load the objects from JSON    
    // Note that the searchPath can vary depending on search text. 
    NSString *searchPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"/package_components/1/search.json?search=%@", self.searchField.text];
    RKObjectManager *objectManager = [RKObjectManager sharedManager];
    [objectManager loadObjectsAtResourcePath:searchPath delegate:self];
}

- (void)objectLoader:(RKObjectLoader*)objectLoader didLoadObjects:(NSArray*)objects
{
    // This never gets called. 

    // Should update my arrays and then update the tableview, but it never gets called. 
    // Instead I get Error Domain=org.restkit.RestKit.ErrorDomain Code=1001 "Could not find an object mapping for keyPath: ''
}

关于我应该或可以做什么的任何提示将不胜感激.

Answer 1

我以前没有使用过托管对象，但这里要做的第一件事是激活对象映射和网络请求上的 Restkit 日志，以便您可以检查 RestKit 从服务器获取的内容以及映射如何工作。

//This can be added in your app delegate
RKLogConfigureByName("RestKit/Network", RKLogLevelDebug);
RKLogConfigureByName("RestKit/ObjectMapping", RKLogLevelTrace);

其次，根据您的 JSON 和您的搜索路径的变化，我认为最好使用关键路径映射而不是资源路径模式。因此，您应该尝试按键映射，如下例所示：

RKObjectMapping* articleMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[Article class]];
[articleMapping mapKeyPath:@"title" toAttribute:@"title"];
[articleMapping mapKeyPath:@"body" toAttribute:@"body"];
[articleMapping mapKeyPath:@"author" toAttribute:@"author"];
[articleMapping mapKeyPath:@"publication_date" toAttribute:@"publicationDate"];

[[RKObjectManager sharedManager].mappingProvider setMapping:articleMapping forKeyPath:@"articles"];

然后加载您的数据，如下所示：

- (void)loadArticles {
    [[RKObjectManager sharedManager] loadObjectsAtResourcePath:@"/articles" delegate:self];
}

另一种方法是按对象映射，因此 RestKit 会检测对象的类型并执行映射，然后您可以向任何路径发出请求。

如果您有任何问题，请发表评论，我可以根据需要改进我的答案。
