* Reorganized tests to accommodate split into Logic & Application.
* Eliminated 'Spec' naming in favor of 'Test' as the suite is entirely based on SenTest.
* Pulled majority of testing support classes up into the library and documented them.
* Introduced RKApplicationTests app for running the RKTableController UI tests
RKTableController provides a flexible, integrated system for driving iOS table views using
the RestKit object mapping engine. Local domain objects can be mapped into table cells within a
collection or presented for editing as part of a form. There are three flavors of table controllers
available:
* Static Tables: RKTableController can be used to render simple static tables that are composed of RKTableItems
presented in RKTableSections. Table items can quickly be built and added to a table without a backing model
or can have content object mapped into them for presentation.
* Network Tables: RKTableController can also render a table with the results of a network load. The typical use
case here is to have RestKit retrieve a JSON/XML payload from your remote system and then render the content into
a table.
* Core Data Tables: RKFetchedResultsTableController can efficiently drive a table view using objects pulled from a
Core Data managed object context. Typical use-cases here are for the presentation of large collections that are
pulled from a remote system, offering offline access, or speeding up a UI by using Core Data as a fast local cache.
RKTableController supports a number of bells and whistles including integrated searching/filtering and pull to refresh.
* Add appledoc section headers and reorganize methods/properties to fit into the sections.
* Fill in missing documentation, parameter definitions, and return values.
* Fix documentation formatting, styling, and placement.
* Remove appledoc signficant asterisk in implementation comment.
NSDateFormatters, added a preferredDateFormatter for use when serializing dates to strings,
replaced the use of the description method for date encoding to strings with invocation of the
preferredDateFormatter, added new attribute transformation strategy from NSDate -> NSString properties
(also using the preferred date formatter), and provided customization support for date handling globally
and on a per-mapping basis. closes#200, closes#313, closes#309, closes#308
* Removed RestKit from inheritance hierarchy
* Mappings are implemented as concrete classes
* Mapper is much more flexible & powerful
* Much more robust error handling
* Serialization is reimplemented as an object mapping operation
* Added ability to serialize to JSON natively
* Reworked Core Data integration
* Simplified the codebase substantially
Introduces four modes for handling background requests:
* RKRequestBackgroundPolicyNone - The default behavior replicating pre-background behavior. No special action is taken with regards to backgrounding.
* RKRequestBackgroundPolicyCancel - On transition to the background, requests with this policy set will be cancelled automatically and the delegate informed.
* RKRequestBackgroundPolicyContinue - Requests with this policy will be continued in the background after the app has been transitioned.
* RKRequestBackgroundPolicyRequeue - Requests with this policy will be cancelled and then immediately placed onto the queue for processing the next time the app is returned to the foreground.
