Execute a function before and after a request finishes in RestKit

Question

I want to call a function to start a spinner before every request is made and stop it after every request (fail or success) finishes in Restkit. How would I achieve this without having to manually call my spinner start/stop function before and after every time I use the RKObjectManager sharedManger? Thanks!

Answer 1

So write an intermediate function that takes the request as a parameter along with a completion handler. It would start the spinner spinning, invoke the request, then stop the spinner and invoke the completion handler.

I haven't used RestKit, so I can't be more specific than that, but that approach should work.
