GhostRb

GhostRb is a simple REST API client to interact with a given Ghost blog. As of now, it supports Client Authentication, which means it can only query public data.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ghost_rb'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ghost_rb

To create a new client:

client = GhostRb::Client.new('URL', 'CLIENT_ID', 'CLIENT_SECRET')

Note: If parameters are not specified for resources retrieval, the default values, as specified by Ghost API, are used.

To access posts from the blog, first create a controller:

ctrl = GhostRb::Controllers::PostsController.new(client) # using previous defined client var

A handier way to get the controller is:

ctrl = client.posts

post = client.posts.find_by(id: 'lhafdkaalkdfha')

post = client.posts.find_by(slug: 'welcome-to-ghost')

posts = client.posts.limit('all').all

ctrl = client.posts
posts = posts.where(include: 'tags, author', limit: 5).all

Similarly for tags, you can create directly the controller or call it from the client instance.

ctrl = GhostRb::Controllers::TagsController.new(client)
# or
ctrl = client.tags

tags = client.tags.limit('all').all

The documentation lives at the github pages. For the nitty gritty details of the implementation go to http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/ghost_rb.

You can also go check this post where I have provided an analysis of the implementation.

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

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
