我最终使用这些方法将核心数据对象转换为 JSON。要反序列化这些对象,我需要定义不同的映射类:RKManagedObjectMapping,它与常规对象映射略有不同。
-(void)setupObjectSerializationMapping
{
RKObjectManager *objectManager = [RKObjectManager sharedManager ] ;
RKObjectMapping *mapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[Article class]];
[mapping mapAttributes:@"articleID", @"title", @"body", nil];
//********************************
RKObjectMapping *imageMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[EventImage class]];
[imageMapping mapAttributes:@"createDate", @"localFilePath", nil];
[objectManager.mappingProvider addObjectMapping:imageMapping];
[objectManager.mappingProvider setSerializationMapping:[imageMapping inverseMapping] forClass:[EventImage class]];
[objectManager.mappingProvider setMapping:imageMapping forKeyPath:@"eventImages"];
//********************************
RKObjectMapping *eventMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[Event class]];
[eventMapping mapAttributes:@"createDate", @"note", nil];
[eventMapping mapRelationship:@"eventImages" withMapping:imageMapping];
[objectManager.mappingProvider addObjectMapping:eventMapping];
[objectManager.mappingProvider setSerializationMapping:[eventMapping inverseMapping] forClass:[Event class]];
[objectManager.mappingProvider setMapping:eventMapping forKeyPath:@"events"];
//********************************
//setup App user mapping
RKObjectMapping *userMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[AppUserSubclass class]];
[userMapping mapAttributes:@"userID",@"firstName", @"lastName",@"localDataFilepath", nil];
[userMapping mapRelationship:@"events" withMapping:eventMapping];
[objectManager.mappingProvider addObjectMapping:userMapping];
[objectManager.mappingProvider setSerializationMapping:[userMapping inverseMapping] forClass:[AppUserSubclass class]];
[objectManager.mappingProvider setMapping:userMapping forKeyPath:@"appUser"];
}
-(NSString*)generateLocalJSONData
{
NSString* folderPath = [self dataFolderPath];
// remember what the file was called. This will not include the documents directory and will be the same on all machines.
NSString* localFileName = [self fileName];
NSString* dataFile = [self fullDocumentsFilePath];
self.localDataFilepath = dataFile;
NSAssert(self.localDataFilepath!=nil,@"failed to save local data path");
//********************************
NSError* error = nil;
//app user subclass is the same as AppUser, but is used to differentiate between file based mapping and core data mapping
RKObjectMapping *serMap = [[[RKObjectManager sharedManager] mappingProvider] serializationMappingForClass:[AppUserSubclass class]];
NSDictionary *d = [[RKObjectSerializer serializerWithObject:self mapping:serMap] serializedObject:&error];
if(error!=nil)
{
NSLog(@"!!!!! Error: %@",[error localizedDescription]);
}
NSString* dataContents = [d JSONString];
BOOL success = [dataContents writeToFile:dataFile atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
if(!success)
{
NSLog(@"Error writing to data file!");
}
[[AppUser managedObjectContext] save:nil];
return dataFile;
