A reliable Chef API client with a clean syntax

## Installation

    $ gem install ridley

## Usage

Require Ridley into your application

    require 'ridley'

## Creating a new Ridley client

    ridley = Ridley.new(
      server_url: "https://api.opscode.com/organizations/ridley",
      client_name: "reset",
      client_key: "/Users/reset/.chef/reset.pem"
    )

Creating a new instance of Ridley requires the following options:

* server_url
* client_name
* client_key

Ridley exposes a number of functions that return resources which you can use to retrieve or create objects on your Chef server. Here is a simple example of getting a list of all the roles on your Chef server.

    ridley = Ridley.new(...)
    ridley.role.all #=> [
      #<Ridley::RoleObject chef_id:motherbrain_srv ...>,
      #<Ridley::RoleObject chef_id:motherbrain_proxy ...>
    ]

For more information scroll down to the Manipulating Chef Resources section of this README.

If you don't want to instantiate and manage a connection object you can use `Ridley.open` to open a connection, do some work, and it will be closed for you after the block executes.

    Ridley.open(server_url: "https://api.opscode.com", ...) do |r|
      r.node.all
    end

## Manipulating Chef Resources

Resources are access by instance functions on a new instance of Ridley::Client.

    ridley = Ridley.new(...)
    ridley.client      #=> Ridley::ClientResource
    ridley.cookbook    #=> Ridley::CookbookResource
    ridley.data_bag    #=> Ridley::DataBagResource
    ridley.environment #=> Ridley::EnvironmentResource
    ridley.node        #=> Ridley::NodeResource
    ridley.role        #=> Ridley::RoleResource
    ridley.sandbox     #=> Ridley::SandboxResource
    ridley.search      #=> Ridley::SearchResource

DataBagItems are the only exception to this rule. The DataBagItem resource is accessed from a DataBagObject

    data_bag = ridley.data_bag.find("my_data")
    data_bag.item                 #=> Ridley::DataBagItemResource
    data_bag.item.find("my_item") #=> Ridley::DataBagItemObject

### CRUD

Most resources can be listed, retrieved, created, updated, and destroyed. These are commonly referred to as CRUD (Create Read Update Delete) operations.

#### Create

A new Chef Object can be created in a three ways

_With the `#create` function and an attribute hash_

    ridley = Ridley.new(...)
    ridley.role.create(name: "reset") #=> #<Ridley::RoleObject: chef_id:reset>

_With the `#create` function and an instance of a Chef Object_

    obj = ridley.role.new
    obj.name = "reset"
    ridley.role.create(obj) #=> #<Ridley::RoleObject: chef_id:reset>

_With the `#save` function on an instance of a Chef Object_

    obj = ridley.role.new
    obj.name = "reset"
    obj.save #=> #<Ridley::RoleObject: chef_id:reset>

Each of these methods produce an identical object on the Chef server. It is up to you on how you'd like to create new resources.

### Read

Most resources have two read functions

- `#all` for listing all the Chef Objects
- `#find` for retrieving a specific Chef Object

#### Listing

If you wanted to get a list of all of the roles on your Chef server

    ridley = Ridley.new(...)
    ridley.role.all #=> [
      #<Ridley::RoleObject chef_id:motherbrain_srv ...>,
      #<Ridley::RoleObject chef_id:motherbrain_proxy ...>
    ]


#### Finding

If you want to retrieve a single role from the Chef server

    ridley = Ridley.new(...)
    ridley.role.find("motherbrain_srv") #=> #<Ridley::RoleObject: chef_id:motherbrain_srv ...>

If the role does not exist on the Chef server then `nil` is returned

    ridley = Ridley.new(...)
    ridley.role.find("not_there") #=> nil

### Update

Updating a resource can be expressed in three ways

_With the `#update` function, the ID of the Object to update, and an attributes hash_

    ridley = Ridley.new(...)
    ridley.role.update("motherbrain_srv", description: "testing updates") #=>
      #<Ridley::RoleObject chef_id:motherbrain_srv, description="testing updates" ...>

_With the `#update` function and an instance of a Chef Object_

    obj = ridley.role.find("motherbrain_srv")
    obj.description = "chef object"

    ridley.role.update(obj) #=> #<Ridley::RoleObject: chef_id:motherbrain_srv, description="chef object" ...

_With the `#save` function on an instance of a Chef Object_

    obj = ridley.role.find("reset")
    obj.description = "saving an object"
    obj.save #=> #<Ridley::RoleObject: chef_id:motherbrain_srv, description="saving an object" ...>

### Destroy

Destroying a resource can be express in three ways

_With the `#delete` function and the ID of the Object to destroy_

    ridley = Ridley.new(...)
    ridley.role.delete("motherbrain_srv") => #<Ridley::RoleObject: chef_id:motherbrain_srv ...>

_With the `#delete` function and a Chef Object_

    obj = ridley.role.find("motherbrain_srv")
    ridley.role.delete(obj) => #<Ridley::RoleObject: chef_id:motherbrain_srv ...>

_With the `#destroy` function on an instance of a Chef Object_

    obj = conn.role.find("motherbrain_srv")
    obj.destroy #=> true

## Client Resource
### Regenerating a client's private key

_With the `#regnerate_key` function and the ID of the Client to regenerate_

    ridley = Ridley.new(...)
    ridley.client.regenerate_key("jamie") #=> #<Ridley::ClientObject: chef_id:"jamie", private_key="**HIDDEN***" ...>

_With the `#regenerate_key` function on an instance of a Client Object_

    obj = ridley.client.find("jamie")
    obj.regenerate_key #=> #<Ridley::ClientObject: chef_id:"jamie", private_key="**HIDDEN***" ...>

## Cookbook Resource
## Data Bag Resource

A data bag is managed exactly the same as any other Chef resource

    ridley = Ridley.new(...)
    ridley.data_bag.create("ridley-test")

You can create, delete, update, or retrieve a data bag exactly how you would expect if you read through the
Manipulating Chef Resources portion of this document.

Unlike a role, node, client, or environment, a data bag is a container for other resources. These other resources are Data Bag Items. Data Bag Items behave slightly different than other resources. Data Bag Items can have an abritrary attribute hash filled with any key values that you would like. The one exception is that every Data Bag Item __requires__ an 'id' key and value. This identifier is the name of the Data Bag Item.

### Creating a Data Bag Item

    ridley   = Ridley.new(...)
    data_bag = ridley.data_bag.create("ridley-test")

    data_bag.item.create(id: "appconfig", host: "reset.local", user: "jamie") #=>
      #<Ridley::DataBagItemObject: chef_id:appconfig, host="reset.local", user="jamie">

## Environment Resource
## Node Resource
### Setting Attributes

Setting a default environment attribute is just like setting a node level default attribute

    ridley = Ridley.new(...)
    production_env = ridley.environment.find("production")
    production_env.set_default_attribute("my_app.proxy.enabled", false)
    production_env.save #=> true

And the same goes for setting an environment level override attribute

    production_env.set_override_attribute("my_app.proxy.enabled", false)
    production_env.save #=> true

### Bootstrapping Unix nodes

    ridley = Ridley.new(
      server_url: "https://api.opscode.com",
      organization: "vialstudios",
      validator_client: "vialstudios-validator",
      validator_path: "/Users/reset/.chef/vialstudios-validator.pem",
      ssh: {
        user: "vagrant",
        password: "vagrant"
      }
    )

    ridley.node.bootstrap("33.33.33.10", "33.33.33.11")

### Bootstrapping Windows Nodes

Windows Nodes are bootstrapped using a combination of WinRM, Batch, and PowerShell. You will probably need to tweak some settings on your Windows servers to ensure the commands are successful.

#### WinRM Settings

1. Enable WinRM: `winrm quickconfig` and say Yes.
2. Set some WinRM settings to ensure that you don't get 401 Unauthorized responses and 500 Responses because of timeouts.

```
winrm set winrm/config/service/auth @{Basic="true"}
winrm set winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted="true"}
winrm set winrm/config/service @{EnumerationTimeoutms="600000"}
winrm set winrm/config @{MaxTimeoutms="600000"}
winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="*"}
```

#### PowerShell Settings

1. You should also configure your PowerShell profile, so that PowerShell commands have a more lenient timeout period.

```
mkdir C:\Users\my_user\Documents\WindowsPowerShell
echo "$PSSessionOption = New-PSSessionOption -OpenTimeout 0 -CancelTimeout 0 -IdleTimeout 0 -OperationTimeout 0" > C:\Users\my_user\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
```

Verify the PowerShell settings by opening up the PowerShell Console and entering `$PSSessionOption` and ensure those values are set, and that there are no errors output.

The following links offer some information about configuring a machine's PowerShell settings:
* [PowerShell Profiles](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692764.aspx)
* [The $PSSessionOptions Preference Variable](http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh847796.aspx)
* [Creating a new PSSessionOption](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849703.aspx)

You may also want to tweak your Windows boxes a bit more ex: turning UAC off, turning off the Windows Firewall.

## Role Resource
### Role Attributes

Setting role attributes is just like setting node and environment attributes

    ridley = Ridley.new(...)
    my_app_role = ridley.role.find("my_app")
    my_app_role.set_default_attribute("my_app.proxy.enabled", false)
    my_app_role.save #=> true

And the same goes for setting an environment level override attribute

    my_app_role.set_override_attribute("my_app.proxy.enabled", false)
    my_app_role.save #=> true

## Sandbox Resource
## Search Resource

    ridley = Ridley.new(...)
    ridley.search(:node)
    ridley.search(:node, "name:ridley-test.local")

Search will return an array of the appropriate Chef Objects if one of the default indices is specified. The indices are

* node
* role
* client
* environment
