I am having a service to which following type of request is to be sent
{"ClientDetails":{"ChauffeurId":0,"FirstName":"String","LastName":"String","Email":"String","Password":"String","PhoneNumber":"String","Thumbnail":"AA==","PayKey":"String","DeviceKey":"String"},"Token":"String"}
I am using following code to send this request using RestKit mapping as shown, problem is I am getting 'Invalid type in JSON write (Client)' error, not able to figure out what is the error.
RKObjectMapping *requestMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[Client class]];
[requestMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:@{ @"FirstName": @"FirstName", @"LastName": @"LastName",@"Email":@"Email",@"PhoneNumber":@"PhoneNumber",@"Token":@"PayKey",@"Password":@"Password",@"ChauffeurId":@"ChauffeurId",@"Image":@"Thumbnail",@"DeviceToken":@"DeviceKey" }];
RKObjectMapping *tokenMapping = [RKObjectMapping requestMapping];
[tokenMapping addPropertyMapping:[RKAttributeMapping attributeMappingFromKeyPath:@"token" toKeyPath:@"Token"]];
[tokenMapping addPropertyMapping:[RKRelationshipMapping relationshipMappingFromKeyPath:@"client"
toKeyPath:@"ClientDetails"
withMapping:requestMapping]];
RKRequestDescriptor *tokenReqDescriptor = [RKRequestDescriptor requestDescriptorWithMapping:tokenMapping
objectClass:[RegClientRequest class]
rootKeyPath:nil method:RKRequestMethodPOST];
// Register our descriptors with a manager
RKObjectManager *manager = [RKObjectManager sharedManager];
[manager addRequestDescriptor:tokenReqDescriptor];
Client *client = [Client new];
NewUser *user = [NewUser sharedNewUser];
client.FirstName = user.strFname;
client.LastName = user.strLname;
client.Password = user.strPwd;
client.PhoneNumber = user.strNum;
client.Email = user.strEmail;
client.Token = user.strToken;
client.DeviceToken = user.strDeviceToken;
RegClientRequest *regClientRequest = [RegClientRequest new];
regClientRequest.token = [ServiceUrls token];
regClientRequest.client = client;
[manager postObject:regClientRequest path:[ServiceUrls registerUser] parameters:nil success:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, RKMappingResult *result) {
}
The problem is you're creating a class specific mapping where you should be using [RKObjectMapping requestMapping or taking the inverseMapping.
That means that at the moment you're mapping a client to a client and trying to put that resulting client into the JSON (instead of mapping the client to a dictionary).
