AFNetworking replacing - Replace for AFHTTPClient - ios

Question

I am using the below code below to perform my webservice calls with the service.I used AFNetworking version below 2.0 where AFHTTPClient .Now i migrated to latest version of AFNetworking .I donot find the AFHTTPClient class in the latest version . What should i replace with the curent code so that it works again .Any help please
#interface APIClient : AFHTTPClient
+ (APIClient*)client;
- (void)commandWithMethod:(NSString *)method params:(NSMutableDictionary*)params success:(APIClientSuccessCallback)successBlock failure:(APIClientFailureCallback)failureBlock;
#end
// Singleton method
+ (APIClient*)client {
static APIClient *client = nil;
static dispatch_once_t onceInst;
dispatch_once(&onceInst, ^{
client = [[self alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:APIHost]];
[AFJSONRequestOperation addAcceptableContentTypes:[NSSet setWithObjects:
#"application/json",
#"text/json",
#"text/javascript",
#"text/plain",
#"text/html",
#"application/x-www-form-urlencoded", nil]];
});
return client;
}
#pragma mark - Init
// Intialize the API class with the destination host name
- (APIClient*)init {
self = [super init]; // call super init
if (self != nil) {
[self registerHTTPOperationClass:[AFJSONRequestOperation class]];
// Accept HTTP Header; see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.1
[self setDefaultHeader:#"Accept" value:#"application/json"];
}
return self;
}
#pragma mark - Core API Methods
// This function sends an API call to the server
- (void)commandWithMethod:(NSString *)method params:(NSMutableDictionary*)params success:(APIClientSuccessCallback)successBlock failure:(APIClientFailureCallback)failureBlock {
[MBMNetworkActivity pushNetworkActivity];
NSMutableURLRequest *apiRequest = [self requestWithMethod:#"POST" path:method parameters:params];
AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [[AFJSONRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest: apiRequest];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
// success! :)
[MBMNetworkActivity popNetworkActivity];
successBlock(responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
// failure! :(
[MBMNetworkActivity popNetworkActivity];
failureBlock(error);
}];
[operation start];
}

Answer 1

You can use NSURLSession for quite a bunch of the AFHTTPClient Stuff.
But to achieve all functionality just write a class like you now did but based on NSObject.
NSURLSession has a really nice API and great functionality combined with it.

Answer 2

AFHTTPRequestOperationManager is the replacement class to subclass instead of AFHTTPClient. It's not the same but it's probably what your looking for.
I would suggest you read Mattt Thompson's blog NSHipster. He is the author of AFNetworking and covered the changes a while back http://nshipster.com/afnetworking-2/. There is also an AFNetworking 2.0 migration guide https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking/wiki/AFNetworking-2.0-Migration-Guide that will be usefull to you.

Finally i was able to do with following changes replacing AFHttpClient with AFHTTPRequestOperationManager
typedef void (^APIClientSuccessCallback) (id response);
typedef void (^APIClientFailureCallback) (id error);
#interface APIClient : AFHTTPRequestOperationManager
+ (APIClient*)client;
- (void)commandWithMethod:(NSString *)method params:(NSMutableDictionary*)params success:(APIClientSuccessCallback)successBlock failure:(APIClientFailureCallback)failureBlock;
#end
#import "APIClient.h"
#implementation APIClient
+ (APIClient*)client {
static APIClient *client = nil;
static dispatch_once_t onceInst;
dispatch_once(&onceInst, ^{
client = [[self alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:APIHost]];
client.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
[client.responseSerializer setAcceptableContentTypes:[NSSet setWithObject:#"text/html"]];
});
return client;
}
#pragma mark - Core API Methods
// This function sends an API call to the server
- (void)commandWithMethod:(NSString *)method params:(NSMutableDictionary*)params success:(APIClientSuccessCallback)successBlock failure:(APIClientFailureCallback)failureBlock {
[self POST:method parameters:params success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"response --- %#",responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"error ----- %#",error);
}];
}
#end
