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 Base
    ##
    # :singleton-method:
    # The logger for diagnosing and tracing Active Resource calls.
    cattr_accessor :logger

    class_attribute :_format

    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_color', 'hair_color'
      #     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!

      # * <tt>:last</tt> - Returns the last resource found.
      # * <tt>:all</tt> - Returns every resource that matches the request.
      #
      # ==== Options
      #
      # * <tt>:from</tt> - Sets the path or custom method that resources will be fetched from.
      # * <tt>:params</tt> - Sets query and \prefix (nested URL) parameters.
