An HTTP client with REST literals

ForwardSlash makes REST a first-class citizen of the Ruby programming language. Rather than forcing developers to write code that makes calls to URLs over HTTP, ForwardSlash lets you drop the URL right in your code - no more worrying about what HTTP is. This blog post explains it best.

Install the gem:

gem install forward-slash

Require the module:

require 'forward_slash'

Then include the ForwardSlash module in a class you want to make HTTP calls from, and you're good to go! Here's a runnable example (taken from the examples folder):

$LOAD_PATH.unshift 'lib'
require "forward_slash"

class CurrentIp
  include ForwardSlash

  def self.print
    result = http://ifconfig.me/ip
    puts result
  end
end

CurrentIp.print

Anything that isn't valid Ruby syntax is unsupported, including:

• Query strings
• Trailing slashes on URLs

The tests are run against all versions of Ruby currently supported by the core team. Anything else is unsupported.
