Pathbuilder

A simple helper to build url-paths (think restful) in a manner that looks like a method call. This gem is intended as a component in rpc-style http client libraries.

PathBuilder.new.users[5].deactivate.to_s
  => "users/5/deactivate"

Installation

Not yet published as a gem, so you'll have to

git clone git@github.com:simen/pathbuilder.git
cd pathbuilder
rake install

Or if you use the awesomeness that is bundler, you stick this in your Gemfile:

gem "pathbuilder", :git => git@github.com:simen/pathbuilder.git

Usage

PathBuilder.new.users.path
  => "/users"

PathBulder.new.users[5]
  => "/users/5"

PathBulder.new.geopoints.closest(10.0, 51.2)
  => "/geopoints/closest/10.0/51.2"

PathBuilder.new[5].user_timeline.path
  => "/5/user_timeline"

p = PathBuilder.new.identities(:nick => "sigve")
p.path
  => "/identities"
p.params
  => {:nick => "sigve"}
