module API # :nodoc:
# A web service API class specifies the methods that will be available for
# invocation for an API. It also contains metadata such as the method type
# signature hints.
#
# It is not intended to be instantiated.
#
# It is attached to web service implementation classes like
# ActionWebService::Base and ActionController::Base derivatives by using
# <tt>container.web_service_api</tt>, where <tt>container</tt> is an
# ActionController::Base or a ActionWebService::Base.
#
# See ActionWebService::Container::Direct::ClassMethods for an example
# of use.
class Base
# Whether to transform the public API method names into camel-cased names
class_inheritable_option :inflect_names, true
# Whether to allow ActiveRecord::Base models in <tt>:expects</tt>.
# The default is +false+, you should be aware of the security implications
# of allowing this, and ensure that you don't allow remote callers to
# easily overwrite data they should not have access to.
class_inheritable_option :allow_active_record_expects, false
# If present, the name of a method to call when the remote caller
# tried to call a nonexistent method. Semantically equivalent to
# +method_missing+.

include ActionWebService::SignatureTypes
# API methods have a +name+, which must be the Ruby method name to use when
# performing the invocation on the web service object.
#
# The signatures for the method input parameters and return value can
# by specified in +options+.
#
# A signature is an array of one or more parameter specifiers.
# A parameter specifier can be one of the following:
#
# * A symbol or string of representing one of the Action Web Service base types.
# See ActionWebService::SignatureTypes for a canonical list of the base types.
# * The Class object of the parameter type
# * A single-element Array containing one of the two preceding items. This
# will cause Action Web Service to treat the parameter at that position
# as an array containing only values of the given type.
# * A Hash containing as key the name of the parameter, and as value
# one of the three preceding items
#
# If no method input parameter or method return value signatures are given,
# the method is assumed to take no parameters and/or return no values of
# interest, and any values that are received by the server will be
# discarded and ignored.
#
# Valid options:
# [<tt>:expects</tt>] Signature for the method input parameters
# [<tt>:returns</tt>] Signature for the method return value
# [<tt>:expects_and_returns</tt>] Signature for both input parameters and return value
