restparty¶ ↑

RestParty is a simple wrapper around HTTParty allowing you to handle simple operation with a restful webservice.

class User < RestParty
 resource_for :users
 format :json
end

This simple piece of code will generate basics CRUD operations and allow you to :

User.find(1)
User.find(:all)
User.create({:name => "Mike", :email => "mike@mike.com"})
User.delete(1)

All of this methods can take a 2nd optional argument :

User.find(:all, {:q => "Mike"})

The resource_for can also take few arguments :

only, except

resource_for :user_sessions, :only => [:create, :delete]

member, collection

resource_for :auditions, :except => [:delete, :update], :member => {:rate => :post, :comment => :post}, :collection => {:search => :get}

This will allow you to add basic operations as :

Audition.rate(1, options)
Audition.comment(2, {:comment => "Now we're talking !"})
Audition.search(:q => "Mike")

Of course You can use your RestParty class like a basic HTTparty class everything works as expected :

class User < RestParty
 resource_for :users
 format :json
 base_uri 'localhost:3000'
 auth_digest "login", "pass"
end

TODO¶ ↑

Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet
Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it
Fork the project
Start a feature/bugfix branch
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
