30 * Use HEAD instead of GET in exists? [bscofield]
32 * Fix small documentation typo. Closes #10670 [Luca Guidi]

49 * Correct empty response handling. #10445 [seangeo]
52 *2.0.1* (December 7th, 2007)
54 * Don't cache net/http object so that ActiveResource is more thread-safe. Closes #10142 [kou]
56 * Update XML documentation examples to include explicit type attributes. Closes #9754 [Josh Susser]
58 * Added one-off declarations of mock behavior [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
61 ActiveResource::HttpMock.respond_to do |mock|
62 mock.get "/people/1.xml", {}, "<person><name>David</name></person>"
66 ActiveResource::HttpMock.respond_to.get "/people/1.xml", {}, "<person><name>David</name></person>"
68 * Added ActiveResource.format= which defaults to :xml but can also be set to :json [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
70 class Person < ActiveResource::Base
71 self.site = "http://app/"
75 person = Person.find(1) # => GET http://app/people/1.json
77 person.save # => PUT http://app/people/1.json {name: "David"}

83 * Fix reload error when path prefix is used. #8727 [Ian Warshak]

93 * Handle string and symbol param keys when splitting params into prefix params and query params.
95 Comment.find(:all, :params => { :article_id => 5, :page => 2 }) or Comment.find(:all, :params => { 'article_id' => 5, :page => 2 })
97 * Added find-one with symbol [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example: Person.find(:one, :from => :leader) # => GET /people/leader.xml
99 * BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Changed the finder API to be more extensible with :params and more strict usage of scopes [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Changes:
101 Person.find(:all, :title => "CEO") ...becomes: Person.find(:all, :params => { :title => "CEO" })
102 Person.find(:managers) ...becomes: Person.find(:all, :from => :managers)
103 Person.find("/companies/1/manager.xml") ...becomes: Person.find(:one, :from => "/companies/1/manager.xml")
105 * Add support for setting custom headers per Active Resource model [Rick Olson]
108 headers['X-Token'] = 'foo'
111 # makes the GET request with the custom X-Token header
114 * Added find-by-path options to ActiveResource::Base.find [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:
116 employees = Person.find(:all, :from => "/companies/1/people.xml") # => GET /companies/1/people.xml
117 manager = Person.find("/companies/1/manager.xml") # => GET /companies/1/manager.xml
120 * Added support for using classes from within a single nested module [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:
123 class Note < ActiveResource::Base
124 self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000"
127 class Comment < ActiveResource::Base
128 self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000"
132 assert_kind_of Highrise::Comment, Note.find(1).comments.first
135 * Added load_attributes_from_response as a way of loading attributes from other responses than just create [David Heinemeier Hansson]
137 class Highrise::Task < ActiveResource::Base
139 load_attributes_from_response(post(:complete))
143 ...will set "done_at" when complete is called.
146 * Added support for calling custom methods #6979 [rwdaigle]
148 Person.find(:managers) # => GET /people/managers.xml
149 Kase.find(1).post(:close) # => POST /kases/1/close.xml
151 * Remove explicit prefix_options parameter for ActiveResource::Base#initialize. [Rick Olson]
152 ActiveResource splits the prefix_options from it automatically.
154 * Allow ActiveResource::Base.delete with custom prefix. [Rick Olson]
156 * Add ActiveResource::Base#dup [Rick Olson]
158 * Fixed constant warning when fetching the same object multiple times [David Heinemeier Hansson]
160 * Added that saves which get a body response (and not just a 201) will use that response to update themselves [David Heinemeier Hansson]
162 * Disregard namespaces from the default element name, so Highrise::Person will just try to fetch from "/people", not "/highrise/people" [David Heinemeier Hansson]
164 * Allow array and hash query parameters. #7756 [Greg Spurrier]
166 * Loading a resource preserves its prefix_options. #7353 [Ryan Daigle]
168 * Carry over the convenience of #create from ActiveRecord. Closes #7340. [Ryan Daigle]
170 * Increase ActiveResource::Base test coverage. Closes #7173, #7174 [Rich Collins]
172 * Interpret 422 Unprocessable Entity as ResourceInvalid. #7097 [dkubb]
174 * Mega documentation patches. #7025, #7069 [rwdaigle]
176 * Base.exists?(id, options) and Base#exists? check whether the resource is found. #6970 [rwdaigle]
178 * Query string support. [untext, Jeremy Kemper]
179 # GET /forums/1/topics.xml?sort=created_at
180 Topic.find(:all, :forum_id => 1, :sort => 'created_at')
182 * Base#==, eql?, and hash methods. == returns true if its argument is identical to self or if it's an instance of the same class, is not new?, and has the same id. eql? is an alias for ==. hash delegates to id. [Jeremy Kemper]
184 * Allow subclassed resources to share the site info [Rick Olson, Jeremy Kemper]
186 class BeastResource < ActiveResource::Base
187 self.site = 'http://beast.caboo.se'
190 class Forum < BeastResource
191 # taken from BeastResource
192 # self.site = 'http://beast.caboo.se'
195 class Topic < BeastResource
196 self.site += '/forums/:forum_id'
199 * Fix issues with ActiveResource collection handling. Closes #6291. [bmilekic]
201 * Use attr_accessor_with_default to dry up attribute initialization. References #6538. [Stuart Halloway]
203 * Add basic logging support for logging outgoing requests. [Jamis Buck]
205 * Add Base.delete for deleting resources without having to instantiate them first. [Jamis Buck]
207 * Make #save behavior mimic AR::Base#save (true on success, false on failure). [Jamis Buck]
209 * Add Basic HTTP Authentication to ActiveResource (closes #6305). [jonathan]
211 * Extracted #id_from_response as an entry point for customizing how a created resource gets its own ID.
212 By default, it extracts from the Location response header.
214 * Optimistic locking: raise ActiveResource::ResourceConflict on 409 Conflict response. [Jeremy Kemper]
216 # Example controller action
219 rescue ActiveRecord::StaleObjectError
220 render :xml => @person.reload.to_xml, :status => '409 Conflict'
223 * Basic validation support [Rick Olson]
225 Parses the xml response of ActiveRecord::Errors#to_xml with a similar interface to ActiveRecord::Errors.
227 render :xml => @person.errors.to_xml, :status => '400 Validation Error'
229 * Deep hashes are converted into collections of resources. [Jeremy Kemper]
230 Person.new :name => 'Bob',
231 :address => { :id => 1, :city => 'Portland' },
232 :contacts => [{ :id => 1 }, { :id => 2 }]
233 Looks for Address and Contact resources and creates them if unavailable.
234 So clients can fetch a complex resource in a single request if you e.g.
235 render :xml => @person.to_xml(:include => [:address, :contacts])
236 in your controller action.
238 * Major updates [Rick Olson]
240 * Add full support for find/create/update/destroy
241 * Add support for specifying prefixes.
242 * Allow overriding of element_name, collection_name, and primary key
243 * Provide simpler HTTP mock interface for testing
246 map.resources :posts do |post|
247 post.resources :comments
251 class Post < ActiveResource::Base
252 self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000/"
255 class Comment < ActiveResource::Base
256 self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000/posts/:post_id/"
260 @comments = Comment.find :all, :post_id => @post.id
262 @comment = Comment.new({:body => 'hello world'}, {:post_id => @post.id})
265 * Base.site= accepts URIs. 200...400 are valid response codes. PUT and POST request bodies default to ''. [Jeremy Kemper]
267 * Initial checkin: object-oriented client for restful HTTP resources which follow the Rails convention. [David Heinemeier Hansson]
