I am using RestKit 0.20.3 for my application. It has offline mode, so I have to store objects in local coredata.
Whenever some objects are deleted from server, it sends deleted = true
attribute in JSON, which I handle in mapping with deletionPredicate
.
Here is my mapping.
- (RKEntityMapping *)meetingsMapping {
RKEntityMapping *meetingsMapping = [RKEntityMapping mappingForEntityForName:@"DBMeetings" inManagedObjectStore:objectManager.managedObjectStore];
meetingsMapping.setDefaultValueForMissingAttributes = NO;
meetingsMapping.deletionPredicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"shouldBeDeleted = 1"];
[meetingsMapping setModificationAttributeForName:@"updated_at"];
meetingsMapping.identificationAttributes = @[@"id"];
[meetingsMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:@{
@"id": @"id",
@"title": @"title",
@"start_date_human": @"start_date_human",
@"start_time_human": @"start_time_human",
@"finish_date_human": @"finish_date_human",
@"finish_time_human": @"finish_time_human",
@"lock": @"lock",
@"location": @"location",
@"sample": @"sample",
@"deleted": @"shouldBeDeleted",
@"created_at": @"created_at",
@"updated_at": @"updated_at",
@"follow_up_id": @"follow_up_id",
@"total_topics": @"total_topics",
}];
[meetingsMapping addRelationshipMappingWithSourceKeyPath:@"tags" mapping:[self tagsMapping]];
[meetingsMapping addRelationshipMappingWithSourceKeyPath:@"required_participants" mapping:[self contactsMapping]];
[meetingsMapping addRelationshipMappingWithSourceKeyPath:@"optional_participants" mapping:[self contactsMapping]];
[meetingsMapping addRelationshipMappingWithSourceKeyPath:@"readonly_participants" mapping:[self contactsMapping]];
[meetingsMapping addRelationshipMappingWithSourceKeyPath:@"organizer" mapping:[self contactsMapping]];
return meetingsMapping;
}
It is working well, and attributes are removed from local CoreData.
The problem is the method getObjectsAtPath
still returns all objects in mappingResult
parameter.
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager] getObjectsAtPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@?type=past&page=%i", URL_MEETINGS, pageNo]
parameters:nil
success:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, RKMappingResult *mappingResult) {
KLog(@"%@", mappingResult.array); // It is returning all objects, not only non-deleted objects
completionHandler(mappingResult.array, nil);
}
failure:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
completionHandler(nil, error);
}];
Suppose if 5 out of 20 objects were deleted, mappingResult.array
returns 20 records not 15. The 5 deleted records have no data. When I Log mappingResult.array
, the first 5 records are printed as following:

If I check in DB, there are only 15 records. That's OK.
If I explicitly fetch from DB, it returns 15 records only, That's OK
But in getObjectsAtPath
callback, the mappingResult.array
parameter returns 20 records. That's not OK. :(
The problem is count
of mappingResult.array
becomes 20 and my UITableView
displays 20 rows, with 5 rows have no data.
Is there any other callback by RestKit that accurately returns 15 records, so that I would not have to explicitly fetch records from DB?
