Confusion setting mapping in RKObjectMapping - Rest

Question

Please help in set mapping with RestKit, I am lost to find how to do this.

My JSON is like

{
"result":{
    "success":"1",
    "message":"You logged in successfully.",
    "data":{
        "user_id":"1",
        "firstname":"somefirstname",
        "lastname":"somelastname",
        "username":"someusername",
        "country_id":"someid",
        "country_name":"somecountry",
        "phone":"1234567890",
        "status":"active"
        }
    }
}

What I have done so far is

RKObjectMapping *loginMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[Login class]];
[loginMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:@{ @"user_id":@"intUserID", @"firstname":@"strFirstName", @"lastname":@"strLastName"}];        
RKResponseDescriptor *responseDescriptor = [RKResponseDescriptor responseDescriptorWithMapping:loginMapping
                                                                                            method:RKRequestMethodGET
                                                                                       pathPattern:@"PathTOLogin"
                                                                                          keyPath:@"result.data"
                                                                                      statusCodes:RKStatusCodeIndexSetForClass(RKStatusCodeClassSuccessful)];

[AFNetworkActivityIndicatorManager sharedManager].enabled = YES;
NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL URLWithString:kAPIBaseURLString];
AFHTTPClient* client = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:baseURL];
RKObjectManager *objectManager = [[RKObjectManager alloc] initWithHTTPClient:client];
Login *loginObject = [[Login alloc] init];
[objectManager getObject:loginObject path:kUserLogin parameters:params success:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, RKMappingResult *mappingResult) {
} failure:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
}];

The problems is like some times JSON response may be like

{
"result":{
    "success":"0",
    "message":"Invalid Username or Password",      
    } 
}

So it throws error

Error Domain=org.restkit.RestKit.ErrorDomain Code=1001

So I thought to add 2 more properties in Model class as success/message along with all other properties but I stuck on setting custom mapping as those properties are on root and other is in key path "result.data".

Can somebody please help.

You should change your login mapping to something like:

RKObjectMapping *loginMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[Login class]];
[loginMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:@{ @"success":@"success", @"message":@"message", @"data.user_id":@"intUserID", @"data.firstname":@"strFirstName", @"data.lastname":@"strLastName"}];        
RKResponseDescriptor *responseDescriptor = [RKResponseDescriptor responseDescriptorWithMapping:loginMapping
                                                                                        method:RKRequestMethodGET
                                                                                   pathPattern:@"PathTOLogin"
                                                                                       keyPath:@"result"
                                                                                   statusCodes:RKStatusCodeIndexSetForClass(RKStatusCodeClassSuccessful)];

Basically, remove 'data' from the key path of the response descriptor and instead use it in the mapping key paths.

you can first check whether data exists or not by checking the following condition

if([yourDictionary valueForKeyPath:@"result.data"]){

   RKObjectMapping *loginMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[Login class]];
[loginMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:@{ @"user_id":@"intUserID", @"firstname":@"strFirstName", @"lastname":@"strLastName"}];        
RKResponseDescriptor *responseDescriptor = [RKResponseDescriptor responseDescriptorWithMapping:loginMapping
                                                                                            method:RKRequestMethodGET
                                                                                       pathPattern:@"PathTOLogin"
                                                                                          keyPath:@"result.data"
                                                                                      statusCodes:RKStatusCodeIndexSetForClass(RKStatusCodeClassSuccessful)];

[AFNetworkActivityIndicatorManager sharedManager].enabled = YES;
NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL URLWithString:kAPIBaseURLString];
AFHTTPClient* client = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:baseURL];
RKObjectManager *objectManager = [[RKObjectManager alloc] initWithHTTPClient:client];
Login *loginObject = [[Login alloc] init];
[objectManager getObject:loginObject path:kUserLogin parameters:params success:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, RKMappingResult *mappingResult) {
} failure:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
}];

}
else{
    NSLog(@"No data available");
}

Hope this will help you.
