I want to update data in server which runs in REST API. i am using RESTKIT from ios device. But i could not find how to use PUT in restkit.
I have to send data like key:"user_id" value:"2" these format. Can anyone please help me to solve this problem.. :(

Answer 1

SOKeyValue.h : serialized object used as parameter for your call.
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#interface SOKeyValue : NSObject
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString* key;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString* value;
#end
Here's a simplified code to initialize Restkit :
/*
This part of code must be executed only one time in your application
*/
//To see logs
RKLogConfigureByName("RestKit/Network", RKLogLevelTrace);
//Init with good domain
RKObjectManager* manager = [RKObjectManager objectManagerWithBaseURL:#"http://mydomain.dev/ui/v1"];
//Indicate to use JSON
[RKObjectManager sharedManager].serializationMIMEType = RKMIMETypeJSON;
//Route path when you call a PUT with SOKeyValue class
[manager.router routeClass:[SOKeyValue class] toResourcePath:#"/yourpath" forMethod:RKRequestMethodPUT];
//Serialization for SOKeyValue class
RKObjectMapping* keyvalueSerializationMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[NSMutableDictionary class] ];
[authSerializationMapping mapAttributes:#"key", #"value", nil];
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager].mappingProvider setSerializationMapping:keyvalueSerializationMapping forClass:[SOKeyValue class] ];
Now we can implement a service who use PUT. In the object that will implement the call dont forget the restkit delegate RKObjectLoaderDelegate:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <RestKit/RestKit.h>
#import "SOKeyValue.h"
#interface MyViewOrMyServiceObject: NSObject <RKObjectLoaderDelegate>
- (void)putKeyValue;
- (void)objectLoader:(RKObjectLoader*)objectLoader didLoadObjects:(NSArray*)objects;
- (void)objectLoader:(RKObjectLoader*)objectLoader didFailWithError:(NSError*)error;
#end
In your (.m) :
- (void)putKeyValue
{
SOKeyValue *keyvalue = [[SOKeyValue alloc] init];
keyvalue.key = #"k";
keyvalue.value = #"2";
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager] putObject:keyvalue delegate:self];
[keyvalue release];
}
You can see status code in your trace, and use callback functions :
- (void)objectLoader:(RKObjectLoader*)objectLoader didLoadObjects:(NSArray*)objects;
- (void)objectLoader:(RKObjectLoader*)objectLoader didFailWithError:(NSError*)error;
So i dont have MAC at home, it's diffcult for help you about the code structure. If you have questions do not hesitate.
