module ActiveResource
# ActiveResource::Base is the main class for mapping RESTful resources as models in a Rails application.
#
# For an outline of what Active Resource is capable of, see its {README}[link:files/activeresource/README_rdoc.html].
#
# == Automated mapping
#
# Active Resource objects represent your RESTful resources as manipulatable Ruby objects. To map resources
# to Ruby objects, Active Resource only needs a class name that corresponds to the resource name (e.g., the class
# Person maps to the resources people, very similarly to Active Record) and a +site+ value, which holds the
# URI of the resources.
#
# class Person < ActiveResource::Base
# self.site = "http://api.people.com:3000/"
# end
#
# Now the Person class is mapped to RESTful resources located at <tt>http://api.people.com:3000/people/</tt>, and
# you can now use Active Resource's life cycle methods to manipulate resources. In the case where you already have
# an existing model with the same name as the desired RESTful resource you can set the +element_name+ value.
#
# class PersonResource < ActiveResource::Base
# self.site = "http://api.people.com:3000/"
# self.element_name = "person"
# end
#
# If your Active Resource object is required to use an HTTP proxy you can set the +proxy+ value which holds a URI.
#
# class PersonResource < ActiveResource::Base
# self.site = "http://api.people.com:3000/"
# self.proxy = "http://user:password@proxy.people.com:8080"
# end
#
#
# == Life cycle methods
#
# Active Resource exposes methods for creating, finding, updating, and deleting resources
# from REST web services.
#
# ryan = Person.new(:first => 'Ryan', :last => 'Daigle')
# ryan.save # => true
# ryan.id # => 2
# Person.exists?(ryan.id) # => true
# ryan.exists? # => true
#
# ryan = Person.find(1)
# # Resource holding our newly created Person object
#
# ryan.first = 'Rizzle'
# ryan.save # => true
#
# ryan.destroy # => true
#
# As you can see, these are very similar to Active Record's life cycle methods for database records.
# You can read more about each of these methods in their respective documentation.
#
# === Custom REST methods
#
# Since simple CRUD/life cycle methods can't accomplish every task, Active Resource also supports
# defining your own custom REST methods. To invoke them, Active Resource provides the <tt>get</tt>,
# <tt>post</tt>, <tt>put</tt> and <tt>\delete</tt> methods where you can specify a custom REST method
# name to invoke.
#
# # POST to the custom 'register' REST method, i.e. POST /people/new/register.json.
# Person.new(:name => 'Ryan').post(:register)
# # => { :id => 1, :name => 'Ryan', :position => 'Clerk' }
#
# # PUT an update by invoking the 'promote' REST method, i.e. PUT /people/1/promote.json?position=Manager.
# Person.find(1).put(:promote, :position => 'Manager')
# # => { :id => 1, :name => 'Ryan', :position => 'Manager' }
#
# # GET all the positions available, i.e. GET /people/positions.json.
# Person.get(:positions)
# # => [{:name => 'Manager'}, {:name => 'Clerk'}]
#
# # DELETE to 'fire' a person, i.e. DELETE /people/1/fire.json.
# Person.find(1).delete(:fire)
#
# For more information on using custom REST methods, see the
# ActiveResource::CustomMethods documentation.
#
# == Validations
#
# You can validate resources client side by overriding validation methods in the base class.
#
# class Person < ActiveResource::Base
# self.site = "http://api.people.com:3000/"
# protected
# def validate
# errors.add("last", "has invalid characters") unless last =~ /[a-zA-Z]*/
# end
# end
#
# See the ActiveResource::Validations documentation for more information.
#
# == Authentication
#
# Many REST APIs will require authentication, usually in the form of basic
# HTTP authentication. Authentication can be specified by:
#
# === HTTP Basic Authentication
# * putting the credentials in the URL for the +site+ variable.
#
# class Person < ActiveResource::Base
# self.site = "http://ryan:password@api.people.com:3000/"
# end
#
# * defining +user+ and/or +password+ variables
#
# class Person < ActiveResource::Base
# self.site = "http://api.people.com:3000/"
# self.user = "ryan"
# self.password = "password"
# end
#
# For obvious security reasons, it is probably best if such services are available
# over HTTPS.
#
# Note: Some values cannot be provided in the URL passed to site. e.g. email addresses
# as usernames. In those situations you should use the separate user and password option.
#
# === Certificate Authentication
#
# * End point uses an X509 certificate for authentication. <tt>See ssl_options=</tt> for all options.
#
# class Person < ActiveResource::Base
# self.site = "https://secure.api.people.com/"
# self.ssl_options = {:cert => OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new(File.open(pem_file))
# :key => OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(File.open(pem_file)),
# :ca_path => "/path/to/OpenSSL/formatted/CA_Certs",
# :verify_mode => OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER}
# end
#
#
# == Errors & Validation
#
# Error handling and validation is handled in much the same manner as you're used to seeing in
# Active Record. Both the response code in the HTTP response and the body of the response are used to
# indicate that an error occurred.
#
# === Resource errors
#
# When a GET is requested for a resource that does not exist, the HTTP <tt>404</tt> (Resource Not Found)
# response code will be returned from the server which will raise an ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
# exception.
#
# # GET http://api.people.com:3000/people/999.json
# ryan = Person.find(999) # 404, raises ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
#
#
# <tt>404</tt> is just one of the HTTP error response codes that Active Resource will handle with its own exception. The
# following HTTP response codes will also result in these exceptions:
#
# * 200..399 - Valid response, no exception (other than 301, 302)
# * 301, 302 - ActiveResource::Redirection
# * 400 - ActiveResource::BadRequest
# * 401 - ActiveResource::UnauthorizedAccess
# * 403 - ActiveResource::ForbiddenAccess
# * 404 - ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
# * 405 - ActiveResource::MethodNotAllowed
# * 409 - ActiveResource::ResourceConflict
# * 410 - ActiveResource::ResourceGone
# * 422 - ActiveResource::ResourceInvalid (rescued by save as validation errors)
# * 401..499 - ActiveResource::ClientError
# * 500..599 - ActiveResource::ServerError
# * Other - ActiveResource::ConnectionError
#
# These custom exceptions allow you to deal with resource errors more naturally and with more precision
# rather than returning a general HTTP error. For example:
#
# begin
# ryan = Person.find(my_id)
# rescue ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
# redirect_to :action => 'not_found'
# rescue ActiveResource::ResourceConflict, ActiveResource::ResourceInvalid
# redirect_to :action => 'new'
# end
#
# When a GET is requested for a nested resource and you don't provide the prefix_param
# an ActiveResource::MissingPrefixParam will be raised.
#
# class Comment < ActiveResource::Base
# self.site = "http://someip.com/posts/:post_id/"
# end
#
# Comment.find(1)
# # => ActiveResource::MissingPrefixParam: post_id prefix_option is missing
#
# === Validation errors
#
# Active Resource supports validations on resources and will return errors if any of these validations fail
# (e.g., "First name can not be blank" and so on). These types of errors are denoted in the response by
# a response code of <tt>422</tt> and an XML or JSON representation of the validation errors. The save operation will
# then fail (with a <tt>false</tt> return value) and the validation errors can be accessed on the resource in question.
#
# ryan = Person.find(1)
# ryan.first # => ''
# ryan.save # => false
#
# # When
# # PUT http://api.people.com:3000/people/1.json
# # or
# # PUT http://api.people.com:3000/people/1.json
# # is requested with invalid values, the response is:
# #
# # Response (422):
# # <errors><error>First cannot be empty</error></errors>
# # or
# # {"errors":["First cannot be empty"]}
# #
#
# ryan.errors.invalid?(:first) # => true
# ryan.errors.full_messages # => ['First cannot be empty']
#
# Learn more about Active Resource's validation features in the ActiveResource::Validations documentation.
#
# === Timeouts
#
# Active Resource relies on HTTP to access RESTful APIs and as such is inherently susceptible to slow or
# unresponsive servers. In such cases, your Active Resource method calls could \timeout. You can control the
# amount of time before Active Resource times out with the +timeout+ variable.
#
# class Person < ActiveResource::Base
# self.site = "http://api.people.com:3000/"
# self.timeout = 5
# end
#
# This sets the +timeout+ to 5 seconds. You can adjust the +timeout+ to a value suitable for the RESTful API
# you are accessing. It is recommended to set this to a reasonably low value to allow your Active Resource
# clients (especially if you are using Active Resource in a Rails application) to fail-fast (see
# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail-fast) rather than cause cascading failures that could incapacitate your
# server.
#
# When a \timeout occurs, an ActiveResource::TimeoutError is raised. You should rescue from
# ActiveResource::TimeoutError in your Active Resource method calls.
#
# Internally, Active Resource relies on Ruby's Net::HTTP library to make HTTP requests. Setting +timeout+
# sets the <tt>read_timeout</tt> of the internal Net::HTTP instance to the same value. The default
# <tt>read_timeout</tt> is 60 seconds on most Ruby implementations.

class << self
# Creates a schema for this resource - setting the attributes that are
# known prior to fetching an instance from the remote system.
#
# The schema helps define the set of <tt>known_attributes</tt> of the
# current resource.
#
# There is no need to specify a schema for your Active Resource. If
# you do not, the <tt>known_attributes</tt> will be guessed from the
# instance attributes returned when an instance is fetched from the
# remote system.
#
# example:
# class Person < ActiveResource::Base
# schema do
# # define each attribute separately
# attribute 'name', :string
#
# # or use the convenience methods and pass >=1 attribute names
# string 'eye_colour', 'hair_colour'
# integer 'age'
# float 'height', 'weight'
#
# # unsupported types should be left as strings
# # overload the accessor methods if you need to convert them
# attribute 'created_at', 'string'
# end
# end
#
# p = Person.new
# p.respond_to? :name # => true
# p.respond_to? :age # => true
# p.name # => nil
# p.age # => nil
#
# j = Person.find_by_name('John') # <person><name>John</name><age>34</age><num_children>3</num_children></person>
# j.respond_to? :name # => true
# j.respond_to? :age # => true
# j.name # => 'John'
# j.age # => '34' # note this is a string!
# j.num_children # => '3' # note this is a string!
#
# p.num_children # => NoMethodError
#
# Attribute-types must be one of:
# string, integer, float
#
# Note: at present the attribute-type doesn't do anything, but stay
# tuned...
# Shortly it will also *cast* the value of the returned attribute.
# ie:
# j.age # => 34 # cast to an integer
# j.weight # => '65' # still a string!
