Hi, I'm new to swift.

In this project, i just created a subclass for HTTPClient, hit a remote from there and added that client to spine's networkclient. Spine onsuccess closure gives me resources ---> is it correct/process? And there is no data{[]} in the relationship of the model from my REMOTE API(one to many concept - parent have data and child doesn't have. it has only self links - related and resource link in my case) - Is it possible to get child model's data using those remote links in spine.

Thanks in advance

If Spine returns the resources, you've probably done it correctly. You only need to subclass HTTPClient if you have specific networking requirements. Usually this is not the case.

Yes, you can get the related resources with a Query by using this initialiser: init(resourceType: T.Type, resourceCollection: ResourceCollection)

You are the man, thanks dude. Let me working on them.

cheers.

Hi Wvteijlingen, The word 'Persisting' makes me confuse. Spine manages any DB/file writing ? Shall I store them in my DB? if I store them in the DB means, how can I get related resources with a Query. I mean that "Should I convert my DB model into resourcecollection"?. Please advice me if i'm wrong.

Thanks in advance.

No, Spine doesn’t save anything locally. With “persisting" I mean POSTing or PUTting the resource to the server. The Resource class implements NSCoding so you could store the resources locally if you’d like (as a cache for example). But that is something you’d have to do yourself.

Thanks dude. The reason for asking about storing is that 'as it needs resourcecollection to make query to get related models, storing the resourcecollection in the db/file and converting them into resourcecollection seems not good, right?' But I can get the related resources using init with PATH while making Query. it needs full URL Path(https://www.example.com/xx/yy/zz). Doesn't consider the URL path(the base URL while spine init). Is it proper/seems good?

Please advice me since I'm new to swift.

Thanks in advance

You can store the entire ResourceCollection if you want. You can also store just the URL and use that to initialise a new Query. Storing just the URL takes up less storage space.

I have a attribute named 'description' in the JSON. As we know, 'description' is pre-defined name to get object's description. So i should use Field name formatters, right?

my code will look like this

public struct AllCapsKeyFormatter: KeyFormatter { public func format(field: Field) -> String { if(field.serializedName == "description") return "description_property" //My object's attribute name else return field.serializedName.uppercaseString } }

is this correct? will it cause any slowness in run time as it applies for every fields?

[wvteijlingen]

You do not need to use a KeyFormatter for this. You can simply define a different serialized named as follows:

override class var fields: [Field] {
  return fieldsFromDictionary([
    "description_property": Attribute().serializeAs("description")
  ])
}

The Swift property will now be called description_property, and it will map to a JSON key named description.

seems great. Thanks buddy.
