require 'active_support/core_ext/object/blank' module OldApiResource # A module to support custom REST methods and sub-resources, allowing you to break out # of the "default" REST methods with your own custom resource requests. For example, # say you use Rails to expose a REST service and configure your routes with: # # map.resources :people, :new => { :register => :post }, # :member => { :promote => :put, :deactivate => :delete } # :collection => { :active => :get } # # This route set creates routes for the following HTTP requests: # # POST /people/new/register.xml # PeopleController.register # PUT /people/1/promote.xml # PeopleController.promote with :id => 1 # DELETE /people/1/deactivate.xml # PeopleController.deactivate with :id => 1 # GET /people/active.xml # PeopleController.active # # Using this module, Active Resource can use these custom REST methods just like the # standard methods. # # class Person < ActiveResource::Base # self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000" # end # # Person.new(:name => 'Ryan).post(:register) # POST /people/new/register.xml # # => { :id => 1, :name => 'Ryan' } # # Person.find(1).put(:promote, :position => 'Manager') # PUT /people/1/promote.xml # Person.find(1).delete(:deactivate) # DELETE /people/1/deactivate.xml # # Person.get(:active) # GET /people/active.xml # # => [{:id => 1, :name => 'Ryan'}, {:id => 2, :name => 'Joe'}] # module CustomMethods extend ActiveSupport::Concern included do class << self alias :orig_delete :delete # Invokes a GET to a given custom REST method. For example: # # Person.get(:active) # GET /people/active.xml # # => [{:id => 1, :name => 'Ryan'}, {:id => 2, :name => 'Joe'}] # # Person.get(:active, :awesome => true) # GET /people/active.xml?awesome=true # # => [{:id => 1, :name => 'Ryan'}] # # Note: the objects returned from this method are not automatically converted # into ActiveResource::Base instances - they are ordinary Hashes. If you are expecting # ActiveResource::Base instances, use the find class method with the # :from option. For example: # # Person.find(:all, :from => :active) def get(custom_method_name, options = {}) connection.get(custom_method_collection_url(custom_method_name, options), headers) end def post(custom_method_name, options = {}, body = '') connection.post(custom_method_collection_url(custom_method_name, options), body, headers) end def put(custom_method_name, options = {}, body = '') connection.put(custom_method_collection_url(custom_method_name, options), body, headers) end def delete(custom_method_name, options = {}) # Need to jump through some hoops to retain the original class 'delete' method if custom_method_name.is_a?(Symbol) connection.delete(custom_method_collection_url(custom_method_name, options), headers) else orig_delete(custom_method_name, options) end end end end module ClassMethods def custom_method_collection_url(method_name, options = {}) prefix_options, query_options = split_options(options) "#{prefix(prefix_options)}#{collection_name}/#{method_name}.#{format.extension}#{query_string(query_options)}" end end module InstanceMethods def get(method_name, options = {}) connection.get(custom_method_element_url(method_name, options), self.class.headers) end def post(method_name, options = {}, body = nil) request_body = body.blank? ? encode : body if new? connection.post(custom_method_new_element_url(method_name, options), request_body, self.class.headers) else connection.post(custom_method_element_url(method_name, options), request_body, self.class.headers) end end def put(method_name, options = {}, body = '') connection.put(custom_method_element_url(method_name, options), body, self.class.headers) end def delete(method_name, options = {}) connection.delete(custom_method_element_url(method_name, options), self.class.headers) end private def custom_method_element_url(method_name, options = {}) "#{self.class.prefix(prefix_options)}#{self.class.collection_name}/#{id}/#{method_name}.#{self.class.format.extension}#{self.class.__send__(:query_string, options)}" end def custom_method_new_element_url(method_name, options = {}) "#{self.class.prefix(prefix_options)}#{self.class.collection_name}/new/#{method_name}.#{self.class.format.extension}#{self.class.__send__(:query_string, options)}" end end end end
