Dor::Services::Client
Dor::Services::Client is a Ruby gem that acts as a client to the RESTful HTTP APIs provided by dor-services-app. The gem is intended to be used as a replacement to the dor-services gem
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'dor-services-client'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install dor-services-client
Usage
To configure and use the client, here's an example:
require 'dor/services/client'
def do_the_thing
# This API endpoint returns JSON
response = client.objects.register(params: { druid: 'druid:123' })
response[:pid] # => 'druid:123'
end
private
def client
@client ||= Dor::Services::Client.configure(url: Settings.dor_services.url,
token: Settings.dor_services.token)
end
Note that the client may not be used without first having been configured, and the url
keyword is required. The token
argument is optional (though when using the client with staging and production servers, you will always need to supply it in practice). For more about dor-services-app's token-based authentication, see its README.
API Coverage
Dor::Services:Client provides a number of methods to simplify connecting to the RESTful HTTP API of dor-services-app. In this section we list all of the available methods, reflecting how much of the API the client covers. For details see the API docs
# For performing operations on one or more objects
objects_client = Dor::Services::Client.objects
# For registering a non-existent object
objects_client.register(params: {})
# For interacting with virtual objects
virtual_objects_client = Dor::Services::Client.virtual_objects
# Create a batch of virtual objects
virtual_objects_client.create(virtual_objects: [{ parent_id: '', child_ids: [''] }])
# For getting background job results
background_jobs_client = Dor::Services::Client.background_job_results
# Show results of background job
background_jobs_client.show(job_id: 123)
# For performing operations on a known, registered object
object_client = Dor::Services::Client.object(object_identifier)

Development
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.
