Activeresource usage in Ruby on Rails _ruby topics

When an HTTP response is a format that is different from the one in which it exists (XML and JSON), some additional formatting needs to be parsed, creating a format that you are accustomed to, and using it in a category. Idiomatic formats should be implemented in the following ways: extension, Mime_type,
Encode and Decode.

Module Activeresource
   module Formats
    module Extend
     module Csvformat
      Extend self

      def extension
       ' csv '
      end

      def mime_type
       ' text/csv '
      end

      def encode (hash, options = nil)
       # Data encoded in a new format and returned
      End

      def decode (CSV)
       # data is decoded in a new format and returns the end-end-end

  class User < activeresource::base
   Self.format = Activeresource::formats::extend::csvformat

   ...
  End

If the HTTP request should not extend the send, overwrite the activeresource::base Element_path and Collection_path method, and remove the extended part.

  Class User < activeresource::base ...

   def self.collection_path (prefix_options = {}, query_options = nil)
    prefix_options, query_options = Split_options ( prefix_options) if Query_options.nil?
    " #{prefix (prefix_options)}#{collection_name}#{query_string (query_options)} "
   End

   def self.element_path (id , prefix_options = {}, query_options = nil)
    prefix_options, query_options = split_options (prefix_options) if Query_op Tions.nil?
    " #{prefix (prefix_options)}#{collection_name}/#{uri.parser.escape id.to_s}#{query_string (query_options)} "End
   End
  

These methods can also be overwritten if there is any need to change the URL.
