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 and styling.
* Clean up asterisk placements in variable declarations.
These issues has been open for some time. I have added thorough unit test coverage
for scenarios of mutating the HTTP AUTH credentials on the RKClient and on individual
RKRequest instances. Everything seems to work fine.
Also added RKAuthenticationExample to RKCatalog for testing. Needs to be updated with
support for using OAuth.
* Introduces RKRequestCache for cacheing responses (supports ETag conditional GET, use cache if available, use cache on error, etc.) closes#75
* Updates to Three20 layer to eliminate need for intermediary TTTableItem classes closes#76
* Fixes to ensure iOS 3.x compatability:
* Switched compiler to Clang
* Updated conditional checks for UIBackgroundTask symbols to ensure runtime safety on iOS 3.x
* Removed unnecessary linkage against UIKit and CoreFoundation from library targets
* Fix for issue where RKRequest objects could become stuck in infinite loop within RKRequestQueue loadNextInQueue if you start
a request and then cancel immediately. On cancel only decrement loadCount if the request has start loading. refs #122
* Cleaned up remaining warnings about if (self = [super init])
* RKParamsExample - Highlights multi-part uploads
* RKRequestQueueExample - Working with the request queue
* RKBackgroundRequestExample - Examples of using the background policies for backgrounding requests
* RKReachabilityExample - Shows how to work with the reachability observer
* RKRelationshipMappingExample - Shows how to map related objects from JSON into an object graph
* RKCoreDataExample - Shows the basics of using RestKit's Core Data examples
Also rearranged dispatch of RKRequest delegate method for didStartLoad: to ensure requeue callbacks get invoked in a timely manner. refs #62
