ComicVine::Mongo

Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file lib/comicvine/mongo. To experiment with that code, run bin/console for an interactive prompt.

TODO: Delete this and the text above, and describe your gem

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'comicvine-mongo'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install comicvine-mongo

You additionally will need to set up your ComicVine Api key [See the comicvine gem page] as well as set up your mongoid connection [See mongoid documentaion]

# Example config
ComicVine::API.api_key = '18357f40df87fb4a4aa6bbbb27cd8ad1deb08d3e'
Mongoid.load!('/path/to/mongo.yml', :env_name)

You can use the same syntax used with the comicvine gem to interact with the api. Now, however, you functions will return a resource subclass appropriate for the api call

ComicVine::API.get_details(:issue, 6) #=> ComicVine::Resource::Issue

These are subclasses of ComicVine::Resource and are each a Mongoid::Document. Here are the current subclasses:

Character, Concept, Episode, Issue, Location, Movie, Object, Origin, Person, Power, Promo, Publisher, Series, StoryArc, Team, Volume

Here is some example usages:

# Gather an issue from the api
issue = ComicVine::API.get_details(:issue, 6)
# You can then save the issue
issue.save!
# You can also then save its parent and children objects (i.e Publisher, Characters, etc)
issue.save_assoc!

# You can also query objects that were saved via Mongoid
pub = ComicVine::Resource::Publisher.find(4)
# To update the object with newest API information or to fill missing children/parent relations
pub.fetch!
# Then you can save your changes
pub.save!
pub.save_assoc!

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
