Blake Watters	2e430644d9	Added support for using NSEntityDescription to lookup property types for NSManagedObject attribute and relationships. This enables mapping type transformations on mappings defined against Core Data entities instead of concrete subclasses. fixes #233	2011-08-14 23:21:51 -04:00
Blake Watters	4e03ba7bef	Renamed Polymorphic mapping to dynamic mapping after consulting with the community. Dropped abstract superclass in favor of a RKObjectMappingDefinition protocol. Caught missing cases with dynamic object mapping + targetObject. Updated docs and method signatures to reflect the updates.	2011-07-31 19:37:42 -04:00
Blake Watters	670234b775	Added support for polymorphic object mapping (Github #105, #244). This enables you to dynamically map objects to different destination classes or using different mapping strategies via configuration or callbacks. See Docs/Object Mapping.md for details. ... Other changes include: * Eliminated the RKObjectFactory protocol and implementations. Object mapping instances themselves are now responsible for instantiating target objects for mapping. * Introduced RKObjectAbstractMapping superclass for RKObjectMapping and RKObjectPolymorphicMapping. * Updated example applications to use block object loaders (RKTwitter and RKTwitterCoreData) * Refactored method signatures of RKObjectMapper, RKObjectMapping, and RKObjectMappingProvider to reflect the existence of abstract mapping types. This was necessary to make polymorphic mappings integrate cleanly. * Fixed overlap in RestKit error domains between network and object mapping. fixes #208	2011-07-30 16:00:36 -04:00
Blake Watters	e6e528fcf1	Improved the flexibility of the block loaders significantly by allowing them to override the object mapping and routing selection. Made sendObject:method:delegate:block private and introduced public sendObject:delegate:block method instead. Wrote some basic specs for overriding the router.	2011-07-28 13:56:16 -04:00
Blake Watters	6e87cd5ffd	Add missing release for rootKeyPath ivar	2011-07-27 07:59:08 -04:00
Blake Watters	570b13ca07	Updated Object Mapping documentation, added support for inferring object mappings based off of the type of the object used in postObject:, putObject:, etc. Made KVC validation optional.	2011-07-23 23:47:03 -04:00
Blake Watters	80366afa84	Added Object Mapping block helpers to RKObjectManager and RKObjectMapping. These enable you to perform ad-hoc object mapping very easily. Extended RKObjectRouter to match on superclasses if no specific route is found. This is helpful when using mocked objects with frameworks like Kiwi. fixes #238	2011-07-23 23:04:16 -04:00
Blake Watters	3dfbaf1810	Updated to support setting default value instead of nil when an attribute is missing in the payload. For Core Data backed models, we consult the entity definition to obtain the default value. closes #117	2011-06-28 15:22:04 -04:00
Blake Watters	64db97ce60	Helper methods for retrieving attribute and relationship mappings by attribute/relationship keyPath. Useful for customizing serialization mappings that were built using inverseMapping.	2011-06-22 10:43:42 -04:00
Blake Watters	3bf4b7bc0f	Implemented nested mapping for structures similar to the BuildBot JSON structure. fixes #112	2011-06-17 15:36:28 -04:00
Ed McManus	ecf808af1a	Added boolean "reversible" property to RKObjectRelationshipMapping. This can be used to break cyclical ... relationships in the object mapping graph. Relationships can be optionally included in an inverse mapping generation for serialization purposes.	2011-06-11 20:25:28 -04:00
Blake Watters	f3c0995d5e	Implementation of Object Mapping 2.0 design: ... * 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	2011-06-11 19:26:56 -04:00
