1 * Don't cache net/http object so that ActiveResource is more thread-safe. Closes #10142 [kou]
3 * Update XML documentation examples to include explicit type attributes. Closes #9754 [hasmanyjosh]
5 *2.0.0 [Preview Release]* (September 29th, 2007)
7 * Added one-off declarations of mock behavior [DHH]. Example:
10 ActiveResource::HttpMock.respond_to do |mock|
11 mock.get "/people/1.xml", {}, "<person><name>David</name></person>"
15 ActiveResource::HttpMock.respond_to.get "/people/1.xml", {}, "<person><name>David</name></person>"
17 * Added ActiveResource.format= which defaults to :xml but can also be set to :json [DHH]. Example:
19 class Person < ActiveResource::Base
20 self.site = "http://app/"
24 person = Person.find(1) # => GET http://app/people/1.json
26 person.save # => PUT http://app/people/1.json {name: "David"}
30 person.save # => PUT http://app/people/1.json <person><name>Mary</name></person>
32 * Fix reload error when path prefix is used. #8727 [Ian Warshak]
34 * Remove ActiveResource::Struct because it hasn't proven very useful. Creating a new ActiveResource::Base subclass is often less code and always clearer. #8612 [Josh Peek]
36 * Fix query methods on resources. [Cody Fauser]
38 * pass the prefix_options to the instantiated record when using find without a specific id. Closes #8544 [alloy]
40 * Recognize and raise an exception on 405 Method Not Allowed responses. #7692 [Josh Peek]
42 * Handle string and symbol param keys when splitting params into prefix params and query params.
44 Comment.find(:all, :params => { :article_id => 5, :page => 2 }) or Comment.find(:all, :params => { 'article_id' => 5, :page => 2 })
46 * Added find-one with symbol [DHH]. Example: Person.find(:one, :from => :leader) # => GET /people/leader.xml
48 * BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Changed the finder API to be more extensible with :params and more strict usage of scopes [DHH]. Changes:
50 Person.find(:all, :title => "CEO") ...becomes: Person.find(:all, :params => { :title => "CEO" })
51 Person.find(:managers) ...becomes: Person.find(:all, :from => :managers)
52 Person.find("/companies/1/manager.xml") ...becomes: Person.find(:one, :from => "/companies/1/manager.xml")
54 * Add support for setting custom headers per Active Resource model [Rick]
57 headers['X-Token'] = 'foo'
60 # makes the GET request with the custom X-Token header
63 * Added find-by-path options to ActiveResource::Base.find [DHH]. Examples:
65 employees = Person.find(:all, :from => "/companies/1/people.xml") # => GET /companies/1/people.xml
66 manager = Person.find("/companies/1/manager.xml") # => GET /companies/1/manager.xml
69 * Added support for using classes from within a single nested module [DHH]. Example:
72 class Note < ActiveResource::Base
73 self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000"
76 class Comment < ActiveResource::Base
77 self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000"
81 assert_kind_of Highrise::Comment, Note.find(1).comments.first
84 * Added load_attributes_from_response as a way of loading attributes from other responses than just create [DHH]
86 class Highrise::Task < ActiveResource::Base
88 load_attributes_from_response(post(:complete))
92 ...will set "done_at" when complete is called.
95 * Added support for calling custom methods #6979 [rwdaigle]
97 Person.find(:managers) # => GET /people/managers.xml
98 Kase.find(1).post(:close) # => POST /kases/1/close.xml
100 * Remove explicit prefix_options parameter for ActiveResource::Base#initialize. [Rick]
101 ActiveResource splits the prefix_options from it automatically.
103 * Allow ActiveResource::Base.delete with custom prefix. [Rick]
105 * Add ActiveResource::Base#dup [Rick]
107 * Fixed constant warning when fetching the same object multiple times [DHH]
109 * Added that saves which get a body response (and not just a 201) will use that response to update themselves [DHH]
111 * Disregard namespaces from the default element name, so Highrise::Person will just try to fetch from "/people", not "/highrise/people" [DHH]
113 * Allow array and hash query parameters. #7756 [Greg Spurrier]
115 * Loading a resource preserves its prefix_options. #7353 [Ryan Daigle]
117 * Carry over the convenience of #create from ActiveRecord. Closes #7340. [Ryan Daigle]
119 * Increase ActiveResource::Base test coverage. Closes #7173, #7174 [Rich Collins]
121 * Interpret 422 Unprocessable Entity as ResourceInvalid. #7097 [dkubb]
123 * Mega documentation patches. #7025, #7069 [rwdaigle]
125 * Base.exists?(id, options) and Base#exists? check whether the resource is found. #6970 [rwdaigle]
127 * Query string support. [untext, Jeremy Kemper]
128 # GET /forums/1/topics.xml?sort=created_at
129 Topic.find(:all, :forum_id => 1, :sort => 'created_at')
131 * Base#==, eql?, and hash methods. == returns true if its argument is identical to self or if it's an instance of the same class, is not new?, and has the same id. eql? is an alias for ==. hash delegates to id. [Jeremy Kemper]
133 * Allow subclassed resources to share the site info [Rick, Jeremy Kemper]
135 class BeastResource < ActiveResource::Base
136 self.site = 'http://beast.caboo.se'
139 class Forum < BeastResource
140 # taken from BeastResource
141 # self.site = 'http://beast.caboo.se'
144 class Topic < BeastResource
145 self.site += '/forums/:forum_id'
148 * Fix issues with ActiveResource collection handling. Closes #6291. [bmilekic]
150 * Use attr_accessor_with_default to dry up attribute initialization. References #6538. [Stuart Halloway]
152 * Add basic logging support for logging outgoing requests. [Jamis Buck]
154 * Add Base.delete for deleting resources without having to instantiate them first. [Jamis Buck]
156 * Make #save behavior mimic AR::Base#save (true on success, false on failure). [Jamis Buck]
158 * Add Basic HTTP Authentication to ActiveResource (closes #6305). [jonathan]
160 * Extracted #id_from_response as an entry point for customizing how a created resource gets its own ID.
161 By default, it extracts from the Location response header.
163 * Optimistic locking: raise ActiveResource::ResourceConflict on 409 Conflict response. [Jeremy Kemper]
165 # Example controller action
168 rescue ActiveRecord::StaleObjectError
169 render :xml => @person.reload.to_xml, :status => '409 Conflict'
172 * Basic validation support [Rick Olson]
174 Parses the xml response of ActiveRecord::Errors#to_xml with a similar interface to ActiveRecord::Errors.
176 render :xml => @person.errors.to_xml, :status => '400 Validation Error'
178 * Deep hashes are converted into collections of resources. [Jeremy Kemper]
179 Person.new :name => 'Bob',
180 :address => { :id => 1, :city => 'Portland' },
181 :contacts => [{ :id => 1 }, { :id => 2 }]
182 Looks for Address and Contact resources and creates them if unavailable.
183 So clients can fetch a complex resource in a single request if you e.g.
184 render :xml => @person.to_xml(:include => [:address, :contacts])
185 in your controller action.
187 * Major updates [Rick Olson]
189 * Add full support for find/create/update/destroy
190 * Add support for specifying prefixes.
191 * Allow overriding of element_name, collection_name, and primary key
192 * Provide simpler HTTP mock interface for testing
195 map.resources :posts do |post|
196 post.resources :comments
200 class Post < ActiveResource::Base
201 self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000/"
204 class Comment < ActiveResource::Base
205 self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000/posts/:post_id/"
209 @comments = Comment.find :all, :post_id => @post.id
211 @comment = Comment.new({:body => 'hello world'}, {:post_id => @post.id})
214 * Base.site= accepts URIs. 200...400 are valid response codes. PUT and POST request bodies default to ''. [Jeremy Kemper]
216 * Initial checkin: object-oriented client for restful HTTP resources which follow the Rails convention. [DHH]
