Association ID's vs entire object

Hey Oliver,

Many thanks for this library, it's amazing.

Is it possible to handle associated ID's rather than full objects?

In my case, I have a few self referential associations that would behave much better with ID's only. For example:

A User has one Manager (also a user).
A User has many Subordinates (also users).

my backend is returning a manager_id and subordinates_ids[] for each user, which I would love to sync with a manager and subordinates relationship on my core data User model.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

SLRESTfulCoreData should resolve associated IDs into already fetched objects. If your User model has a property @property Manager *manager then SLRESTfulCoreData searches for a manager or manager_id attribute in the json object.
