Constructor Details

#initialize(opts = {}) ⇒ HyperResource

Create a new HyperResource, given a hash of options. These options include:

root

The root URL of the resource.

auth

Authentication information. Currently only {basic: [‘key’, ‘secret’]} is supported.

namespace

Class or class name, into which resources should be instantiated.

headers

Headers to send along with requests for this resource (as well as its eventual child resources, if any).

faraday_options

Configuration passed to Faraday::Connection.initialize, such as {request: {timeout: 30}}.

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(method, *args) ⇒ Object

method_missing will load this resource if not yet loaded, then attempt to delegate to attributes, then objects, then links. Override with care.

Raises:

  • (NoMethodError)

end

Class Method Details

.get_data_type_from_response(response) ⇒ Object

Inspects the given Faraday::Response, and returns a string describing this resource’s data type.

By default, this method looks for a type=… modifier in the response’s Content-type and returns that value, capitalized.

Override this method in a subclass to alter HyperResource’s behavior.

# File 'lib/hyper_resource.rb', line 258

def self.get_data_type_from_response(response)
  return nil unless response
  return nil unless content_type = response['content-type']
  return nil unless m=content_type.match(/;\s* type=([0-9A-Za-z:]+)/x)
  m[1][0,1].upcase + m[1][1..-1]
end

.response_class(response, namespace) ⇒ Object

Returns the class into which the given response should be cast. If the object is not loaded yet, or if namespace is not set, returns self.

Otherwise, response_class uses get_data_type_from_response to determine subclass name, glues it to the given namespace, and creates the class if it’s not there yet. E.g., given a namespace of FooAPI and a response content-type of “application/vnd.foocorp.fooapi.v1+json;type=User”, this should return FooAPI::User (even if FooAPI::User hadn’t existed yet).
