Question

I am posting to a uri using RestKit

    NSString* path = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"myPathHere"];
    NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithKeysAndObjects:@"rating",[rating stringValue], nil];
   [[RKObjectManager sharedManager].client post:path params:params delegate:self];

The server will respond with an updated version of my managedObject “Item”.

How do I go about mapping this item. Do I use the following delegate method?

- (void)request:(RKRequest *)request didLoadResponse:(RKResponse *)response{}

I know that from here I can get the response JSON value but how do I change that into the mapped object?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

When I’ve needed to map my server objects I make the request like this:

        [[RKObjectManager sharedManager] 
         loadObjectsAtResourcePath:[qualifiedResourceURL
                                    appendQueryParams:params] 
         delegate:self  
         ];

and then the object comes back in this method:

    - (void)objectLoader:(RKObjectLoader*)objectLoader didLoadObjects:(NSArray*)objects 

I then post the updated object with the Notification Manager

        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:GotFotosInRegion_Fotos_Array_Response object:objects];
