ActiveResource in Ruby on Rails

ActiveResource in Ruby on Rails

When an HTTP response is in a different format (XML and JSON) than an existing one, you need to parse some additional formats to create a common format and use it in the category. The following methods should be implemented in the conventional format: 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) # The data is encoded in the new format and the end def decode (csv) is returned. # The data is decoded in the new format and the end class User is returned. <ActiveResource: Base self. format = ActiveResource: Formats: Extend: CSVFormat... end

If the HTTP request should not be extended, overwrite the ActiveResource: Base element_path and collection_path methods, 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_options.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 you need to modify the website.
