module ActionController #:nodoc:
module MimeResponds #:nodoc:
def self.included(base)
base.send(:include, ActionController::MimeResponds::InstanceMethods)
end
module InstanceMethods
# Without web-service support, an action which collects the data for displaying a list of people
# might look something like this:
#
# def list
# @people = Person.find(:all)
# end
#
# Here's the same action, with web-service support baked in:
#
# def list
# @people = Person.find(:all)
#
# respond_to do |wants|
# wants.html
# wants.xml { render :xml => @people.to_xml }
# end
# end
#
# What that says is, "if the client wants HTML in response to this action, just respond as we
# would have before, but if the client wants XML, return them the list of people in XML format."
# (Rails determines the desired response format from the HTTP Accept header submitted by the client.)
#
# Supposing you have an action that adds a new person, optionally creating their company
# (by name) if it does not already exist, without web-services, it might look like this:
#
# def add
# @company = Company.find_or_create_by_name(params[:company][:name])
# @person = @company.people.create(params[:person])
#
# redirect_to(person_list_url)
# end
#
# Here's the same action, with web-service support baked in:
#
# def add
# company = params[:person].delete(:company)
# @company = Company.find_or_create_by_name(company[:name])
# @person = @company.people.create(params[:person])
#
# respond_to do |wants|
# wants.html { redirect_to(person_list_url) }
# wants.js
# wants.xml { render :xml => @person.to_xml(:include => @company) }
# end
# end
#
# If the client wants HTML, we just redirect them back to the person list. If they want Javascript
# (wants.js), then it is an RJS request and we render the RJS template associated with this action.
# Lastly, if the client wants XML, we render the created person as XML, but with a twist: we also
# include the person’s company in the rendered XML, so you get something like this:
#
# <person>
# <id>...</id>
# ...
# <company>
# <id>...</id>
# <name>...</name>
# ...
# </company>
# </person>
#
# Note, however, the extra bit at the top of that action:
#
# company = params[:person].delete(:company)
# @company = Company.find_or_create_by_name(company[:name])
#
# This is because the incoming XML document (if a web-service request is in process) can only contain a
# single root-node. So, we have to rearrange things so that the request looks like this (url-encoded):
#
# person[name]=...&person[company][name]=...&...
#
# And, like this (xml-encoded):
#
# <person>
# <name>...</name>
# <company>
# <name>...</name>
# </company>
# </person>
#
# In other words, we make the request so that it operates on a single entity—a person. Then, in the action,
# we extract the company data from the request, find or create the company, and then create the new person
# with the remaining data.
#
# Note that you can define your own XML parameter parser which would allow you to describe multiple entities
# in a single request (i.e., by wrapping them all in a single root note), but if you just go with the flow
# and accept Rails' defaults, life will be much easier.
