module ActiveResource
# A module to support custom REST methods and sub-resources, allowing you to break out
# of the "default" REST methods with your own custom resource requests. For example,
# say you use Rails to expose a REST service and configure your routes with:
#
# map.resources :people, :new => { :register => :post },
# :element => { :promote => :put, :deactivate => :delete }
# :collection => { :active => :get }
#
# This route set creates routes for the following http requests:
#
# POST /people/new/register.xml #=> PeopleController.register
# PUT /people/1/promote.xml #=> PeopleController.promote with :id => 1
# DELETE /people/1/deactivate.xml #=> PeopleController.deactivate with :id => 1
# GET /people/active.xml #=> PeopleController.active
#
# Using this module, Active Resource can use these custom REST methods just like the
# standard methods.
#
# class Person < ActiveResource::Base
# self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000"
# end
#
# Person.new(:name => 'Ryan).post(:register) # POST /people/new/register.xml
# # => { :id => 1, :name => 'Ryan' }
#
# Person.find(1).put(:promote, :position => 'Manager') # PUT /people/1/promote.xml
# Person.find(1).delete(:deactivate) # DELETE /people/1/deactivate.xml
#
# Person.get(:active) # GET /people/active.xml
# # => [{:id => 1, :name => 'Ryan'}, {:id => 2, :name => 'Joe'}]
#

alias :orig_delete :delete
# Invokes a GET to a given custom REST method. For example:
#
# Person.get(:active) # GET /people/active.xml
# # => [{:id => 1, :name => 'Ryan'}, {:id => 2, :name => 'Joe'}]
#
# Person.get(:active, :awesome => true) # GET /people/active.xml?awesome=true
# # => [{:id => 1, :name => 'Ryan'}]
#
# Note: the objects returned from this method are not automatically converted
# into ActiveResource instances - they are ordinary Hashes. If you are expecting
# ActiveResource instances, use the find class method with the
# :from option. For example:
#
# Person.find(:all, :from => :active)
