How to set Authorization header in AFNetworking - ios

Question

I was trying to implement an AFNetworking client by subclassing AFHTTPClient and setting base path
#define BaseURLString #"http://company.com/api/"
#implementation WineAPIClient
+(id)sharedInstance{
static APIClient *__sharedInstance;
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
__sharedInstance = [APIClient alloc]initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:BaseURLString]];
});
return __sharedInstance;
}
- (id)initWithBaseURL:(NSURL *)url
{
self = [super initWithBaseURL:url];
if(self){
[self setParameterEncoding:AFJSONParameterEncoding];
[self registerHTTPOperationClass:[AFJSONRequestOperation class]];
}
return self;
}
#end
This is how i am making request to the server:
[[APIClient sharedInstance] getPath:#"wines"
parameters:nil
success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"%#", responseObject);
}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error fetching wines!");
NSLog(#"%#",error);
}];
Now i have a class called LoginViewController which gets token number ones i loged in.
Now my question in how to set the token as an Authorization header in my AFHttpClinet class.
and make rest other request using the Authorization header.
Can any one help me out with this?

Answer 1

You can use methods of AFNetworking
setAuthorizationHeaderWithUsername:password:
+(id)sharedInstance{
static APIClient *__sharedInstance;
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
__sharedInstance = [APIClient alloc]initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:BaseURLString]];
[__sharedInstance setAuthorizationHeaderWithUsername:#"username" password:#"password"];
});
return __sharedInstance;
}
OR
+(id)sharedInstance{
static APIClient *__sharedInstance;
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
__sharedInstance = [APIClient alloc]initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:BaseURLString]];
});
return __sharedInstance;
}
- (void)updateAuthorizationHeaderUsername:(NSString *)username Password:(NSString *)password
{
[self setAuthorizationHeaderWithUsername:username password:password];
}
- (void)updateAuthorizationHeader:(NSString *)token
{
[self setDefaultHeader:#"token" value:token];
}

Try to do like this
[[APIClient sharedInstance] getPath:#"wines"
parameters:#{#"Authorization":TOKEN}
success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"%#", responseObject);
}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error fetching wines!");
NSLog(#"%#",error);
}];
Where TOKEN is you token
