RestKit GET query parameters

Question

I\'ve been using RestKit 0.10.0 for a while now and up until this point, I only posted serialized objects to my server:

[[RKObjectManager sharedManager] post         


        

Answer 1

I solved adding a Category to RKObjectLoader, that is:

for method

-(void)getObject:(id)object usingBlock:(RKObjectLoaderBlock)block;

I added into the Category a modified method:

-(void)getObject:(id)object queryParameters:(NSDictionary*)queryParameters usingBlock:(void(^)(RKObjectLoader *))block;

Here it is the listing fpr file "RKObjectManager+QueryParameters":

//
//  RKObjectManager+QueryParameters.h
//  AlphaClient
//
//  Created by Antonio Rossi on 14/07/12.
//

#import 

@interface RKObjectManager (QueryParameters)

- (void)getObject:(id)object queryParameters:(NSDictionary*)queryParameters usingBlock:(void(^)(RKObjectLoader *))block;
- (void)sendObject:(id)object queryParameters:(NSDictionary*)queryParameters method:(RKRequestMethod)method usingBlock:(void(^)(RKObjectLoader *))block;

@end

Here is the listing for file "RKObjectManager+QueryParameters.m":

//
//  RKObjectManager+QueryParameters.m
//  AlphaClient
//
//  Created by Antonio Rossi on 14/07/12.
//

#import "RKObjectManager+QueryParameters.h"

@implementation RKObjectManager (QueryParameters)

- (void)getObject:(id)object queryParameters:(NSDictionary*)queryParameters usingBlock:(void(^)(RKObjectLoader *loader))block {
    [self sendObject:object queryParameters:queryParameters method:RKRequestMethodGET usingBlock:block];
}

- (void)sendObject:(id)object queryParameters:(NSDictionary*)queryParameters method:(RKRequestMethod)method usingBlock:(void(^)(RKObjectLoader *))block {
    NSString *resourcePath = [self.router resourcePathForObject:object method:method];
    [self sendObject:object toResourcePath:resourcePath usingBlock:^(RKObjectLoader *loader) {
        loader.method = method;

        // need to transform the original URL because when method is GET the additional paramentes don't get added
        RKURL *originalBaseURL = [RKURL URLWithBaseURL:[loader.URL baseURL]];
        NSString *resourcePath = [self.router resourcePathForObject:object method:RKRequestMethodGET];
        RKURL *authTokenURL = [originalBaseURL URLByAppendingResourcePath:resourcePath queryParameters:queryParameters];
        [loader setURL:authTokenURL];

        block(loader);
    }];
}

@end

One more step is to add #import "RKObjectManager+QueryParameters.h" in your implementation file. In this new method it is assumed that the router property of RKObjectManager has been defined before making a call to it.
