Overview

RKMapping is an abstract class for objects defining RestKit object mappings. Its interface is common to all object mapping classes, including its concrete subclasses RKObjectMapping and RKDynamicMapping.

Tasks

Forcing Collection Mapping

  •   forceCollectionMapping

    Forces the mapper to treat the mapped keyPath as a collection even if it does not return an array or a set of objects. This permits mapping where a dictionary identifies a collection of objects.

forceCollectionMapping

Forces the mapper to treat the mapped keyPath as a collection even if it does not return an array or a set of objects. This permits mapping where a dictionary identifies a collection of objects.

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL forceCollectionMapping

Discussion

When enabled, each key/value pair in the resolved dictionary will be mapped as a separate entity. This is useful when you have a JSON structure similar to:

 { "users": {
    "blake": { "id": 1234, "email": "[email protected]" },
    "rachit": { "id": 5678", "email": "[email protected]" }
    }
 }

By enabling forceCollectionMapping, RestKit will map “blake” => attributes and “rachit” => attributes as independent objects. This can be combined with mapKeyOfNestedDictionaryToAttribute: to properly map these sorts of structures.
