Question

I’m developing an application on iOS that consumes a (mostly) RESTful service. I’m supposed
to display those posts with different filters, which are applied server side :

• http://foo.com/posts?filter=recent
• http://foo.com/posts?filter=popular
• http://foo.com/posts?filter=special
• …

I’m contemplating using Restkit (0.20) to do all this properly, using the coredata module for caching and I have a little poc running.

My question is, how can I then query core-data to fetch my entities back, using those same filters locally? I could add a special field to “tag” the posts and then filter on that, but I don’t know how I could do that with RestKit.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I’ve found a solution :

• I’ve added some properties to my Entity
• I subclassed RKManagedObjectRequestOperation to populate those properties
• I subclassed RKObjectManager to return my custom RKManagedObjectRequestOperation.

More details at the official Restkit google groups
