    <p>I am having a problem posting an NSManagedObject using RestKit 0.20pre6 where it results in creating an entry on my Rails site with nil values. I suspect the mapper but I have set up my RK objects to the best of my knowledge correctly. There are very few examples and limited support. The example deals with NSObjects and not CoreData so I've had to make some assumptions.</p> <p>Here is my code for posting and followed by the console output. The app gets objects from the server fine.</p> <pre><code> // Sync the added object to the server // **************************************** RKObjecMapping *responseMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[Event class]]; // RKEntityMapping *responseMapping = [RKEntityMapping mappingForEntityForName:@"Event" inManagedObjectStore:self.managedObjectStore]; [responseMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:@{ @"id": @"eventId", @"name": @"name", @"amount": @"amount", @"length": @"length", @"updated_at": @"updatedAt", @"created_at": @"createdAt", @"latitude": @"latitude", @"longitude": @"longitude", @"thumbnail": @"thumbnail", @"airTemp": @"airTemp", }]; NSIndexSet *statusCodes = RKStatusCodeIndexSetForClass(RKStatusCodeClassSuccessful); // Anything in 2xx RKResponseDescriptor *eventDescriptor = [RKResponseDescriptor responseDescriptorWithMapping:responseMapping pathPattern:@"/events" keyPath:@"events" statusCodes:statusCodes ]; RKObjectMapping *requestMapping = [RKObjectMapping requestMapping]; // objectClass == NSMutableDictionary [requestMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:@{ @"id": @"eventId", @"name": @"name", @"amount": @"amount", @"length": @"length", @"updated_at": @"updatedAt", @"created_at": @"createdAt", @"latitude": @"latitude", @"longitude": @"longitude", @"thumbnail": @"thumbnail", @"airTemp": @"airTemp", }]; // For any object of class Article, serialize into an NSMutableDictionary using the given mapping and nest // under the 'article' key path RKRequestDescriptor *requestDescriptor = [RKRequestDescriptor requestDescriptorWithMapping:requestMapping objectClass:[Event class] rootKeyPath:@"events" ]; LocationsAppDelegate *appDelegate = (LocationsAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]; // RKObjectManager *manager = [RKObjectManager managerWithBaseURL:gBaseURL]; [RKObjectManager sharedManager].requestSerializationMIMEType = RKMIMETypeJSON; [[RKObjectManager sharedManager] addRequestDescriptor:requestDescriptor]; [[RKObjectManager sharedManager] addResponseDescriptor:eventDescriptor]; NSLog(@"RVC-addEvent %@ - %@", appDelegate.user.login, appDelegate.user.password); [[NBEventManager sharedManager] setUsername:appDelegate.user.login andPassword:appDelegate.user.password]; appDelegate.objectManager.HTTPClient = [NBEventManager sharedManager]; event = [eventsArray objectAtIndex:0]; [[RKObjectManager sharedManager] postObject:event path:@"/events" parameters:nil success:nil failure:nil ]; } </code></pre> <blockquote> <p>2013-01-15 23:25:52.857 fish[38803:13403] I restkit.network:RKHTTPRequestOperation.m:152 POST 'http://localhost:3000/events' 2013-01-15 23:25:52.969 fish[38803:16903] I restkit.network:RKHTTPRequestOperation.m:179 POST 'http://localhost:3000/events' (201 Created) [0.1121 s] 2013-01-15 23:25:52.971 fish[38803:17507] D restkit.object_mapping:RKMapperOperation.m:360 Executing mapping operation for representation: { event = { airTemp = ""; amount = ""; "created_at" = "2013-01-16T04:25:52Z"; id = 54; latitude = ""; length = ""; longitude = ""; name = ""; thumbnail = ""; "updated_at" = "2013-01-16T04:25:52Z"; "user_id" = ""; }; } and targetObject: (entity: Event; id: 0x9c7f710 ; data: { airTemp = 0; amount = nil; createdAt = "2013-01-16 04:25:52 +0000"; eventId = 0; latitude = "28.158466"; length = 0; longitude = "-82.509215"; name = nil; photo = nil; thumbnail = nil; updatedAt = nil; }) 2013-01-15 23:25:52.971 fish[38803:17507] D restkit.object_mapping:RKMapperOperation.m:287 Found mappable data at keyPath 'event': { airTemp = ""; amount = ""; "created_at" = "2013-01-16T04:25:52Z"; id = 54; latitude = ""; length = ""; longitude = ""; name = ""; thumbnail = ""; "updated_at" = "2013-01-16T04:25:52Z"; "user_id" = ""; } 2013-01-15 23:25:52.971 fish[38803:17507] D restkit.object_mapping:RKMapperOperation.m:232 Asked to map source object { airTemp = ""; amount = ""; "created_at" = "2013-01-16T04:25:52Z"; id = 54; latitude = ""; length = ""; longitude = ""; name = ""; thumbnail = ""; "updated_at" = "2013-01-16T04:25:52Z"; "user_id" = ""; } with mapping eventId>", " name>", " amount>", " length>", " updatedAt>", " createdAt>", " latitude>", " longitude>", " airTemp>", " thumbnail>" )> 2013-01-15 23:25:52.971 fish[38803:17507] D restkit.object_mapping:RKMappingOperation.m:754 Starting mapping operation... 2013-01-15 23:25:52.972 fish[38803:17507] D restkit.object_mapping:RKMappingOperation.m:818 Finished mapping operation successfully... 2013-01-15 23:25:52.973 fish[38803:17507] D restkit.object_mapping:RKMapperOperation.m:316 Found unmappable value at keyPath: events 2013-01-15 23:25:52.973 fish[38803:17507] D restkit.object_mapping:RKMapperOperation.m:389 Finished performing object mapping.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
