Closed 9 years ago.
I have one main entity class with name "Store" like :
Store.h :-
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "SignIn.h"
#interface Store : NSObject
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *storeId;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *storeProfileId;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *storeName;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *storeRegion;
#property (nonatomic, retain) SignIn *signIn;
#end
Store.m :-
#import "Store.h"
#implementation Store
#synthesize storeId, storeProfileId, storeName, storeRegion, signIn;
- (id) initWithCoder: (NSCoder *)coder
{
self = [[Store alloc] init];
if (self != nil)
{
self.storeId = [coder decodeObjectForKey:#"storeId"];
self.storeProfileId = [coder decodeObjectForKey:#"storeProfileId"];
self.storeName = [coder decodeObjectForKey:#"storeName"];
self.storeRegion = [coder decodeObjectForKey:#"storeRegion"];
self.signIn = [coder decodeObjectForKey:#"signIn"];
}
return self;
}
- (void)encodeWithCoder: (NSCoder *)coder
{
[coder encodeObject:storeId forKey:#"storeId"];
[coder encodeObject:storeProfileId forKey:#"storeProfileId"];
[coder encodeObject:storeName forKey:#"storeName"];
[coder encodeObject:storeRegion forKey:#"storeRegion"];
[coder encodeObject:signIn forKey:#"signIn"];
}
#end
Here in Store class, i am taking one more class name "Sign In", that include some other attributes.
SignIn.h :-
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#interface SignIn : NSObject
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *inTime;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *outTime;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *isStatus;
#end
SignIn.m :-
#import "SignIn.h"
#implementation SignIn
#synthesize inTime, outTime, isStatus;
- (id) initWithCoder: (NSCoder *)coder
{
self = [[SignIn alloc] init];
if (self != nil)
{
self.inTime = [coder decodeObjectForKey:#"inTime"];
self.outTime = [coder decodeObjectForKey:#"outTime"];
self.isStatus = [coder decodeObjectForKey:#"isStatus"];
}
return self;
}
- (void)encodeWithCoder: (NSCoder *)coder
{
[coder encodeObject:inTime forKey:#"inTime"];
[coder encodeObject:outTime forKey:#"outTime"];
[coder encodeObject:isStatus forKey:#"isStatus"];
}
#end
Now i need to post this Store object on server. So I am creating dictionary using below code :
NSMutableArray *storeJSONArray=[NSMutableArray array];
for (Store *store in array1) {
NSMutableDictionary *storeJSON=[NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[storeJSON setValue:store.storeId forKey:#"storeId"];
[storeJSON setValue:store.storeProfileId forKey:#"storeProfileId"];
[storeJSON setValue:store.storeName forKey:#"storeName"];
[storeJSON setValue:store.storeRegion forKey:#"storeRegion"];
//Sign In
[storeJSON setValue:store.signIn.inTime forKey:#"inTime"];
[storeJSON setValue:store.signIn.outTime forKey:#"outTime"];
[storeJSON setValue:store.signIn.isStatus forKey:#"isStatus"];
[storeJSONArray addObject:storeJSON];
}
NSMutableDictionary *dictionnary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[dictionnary setObject:storeJSONArray forKey:#"Store"];
NSError *error = nil;
NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:dictionnary
options:kNilOptions
error:&error];
if (! jsonData) {
NSLog(#"Got an error: %#", error);
} else {
NSString *jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}
But as an output, i am getting jsonString value like :
{
"Store": [
{
"storeId": "SGVM0001",
"storeProfileId": "SG-12",
"store_name": "Best Denki",
"storeRegion": "Ngee Ann City",
"inTime": "2013-12-05 11:03:00",
"outTime": "2013-12-0511: 27: 00",
"isStatus": "YES"
}
]
}
But i need an output as :
{
"Store": [
{
"storeId": "SGVM0001",
"storeProfileId": "SG-12",
"store_name": "Best Denki",
"storeRegion": "Ngee Ann City",
"signIn": {
"inTime": "2013-12-05 11:03:00",
"outTime": "2013-12-0511: 27: 00",
"isStatus": "YES"
}
}
]
}
Can you please check my code and let me know what changes i need to do here for getting above output ?
Thanks

Answer 1

Then you need to create one more dictionary
NSDMutableDict *signInDic = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
//Sign In
[signInDic setValue:store.signIn.inTime forKey:#"inTime"];
[signInDic setValue:store.signIn.outTime forKey:#"outTime"];
[signInDic setValue:store.signIn.isStatus forKey:#"isStatus"];
[storeJSON setObject:signInDic forKey:#"sign_in"];

Answer 2

NSMutableDictionary *dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[dict setValue:store.dict.inTime forKey:#"inTime"];
.......
.....
[storeJSON setObject:dict forKey:#"sign_in"];
