Active resources api docs?

Rails
1

Hi:

I am trying to find API documentation regarding active resources. I was
very inspired by Rick Olsson’s blog post

http://weblog.techno-weenie.net/2006/12/13/taking-ares-out-for-a-test-drive

I looked at the following Edge rail api docs? but no sign of active
resources…

http://caboo.se/doc.html

am i missing something obvious or ??

Also any blog post or anything that leads to bit more info regarding my
quest is extremely welcome.

Thanks
Antonio

Hi:

As far as I know there is no known API docs unless you are reading the
code in the trunk.

We have a customer project where we were thinking of implementing active
resources cos the project consist of two part one being the backend java
servlet which sends XML and other being the rails front-end. The much
talked about/marketed via blogs and railsconf2006 the active resources
AFAIK is now pulled out of rails 1.2

http://www.ryandaigle.com/articles/2006/11/20/whats-new-in-edge-rails-activeresource-pulled-world-weeps#comments

please pay specific attention to comments.

Anyway back to my customer case we ended up using other tools to solve
the problem. Honestly I would have preffered to do it via active
resources. So actually its a game of chicken and egg as one of the
commentetor mentioned it (blog post comments).

It is very unclear to me what is the goal or purpose of active resource
in the Rails Edge? It tells me the following :

  1. Rails framework in the future will have active resources

  2. Hence it is not decided if its going to be included in 2.0? (blog
    post comment)

huh? So Edge/ - SVN trunk contains code that might or might not be
released in the future? Sorry I am not sure what/how things get into
svn/trunk? A clarification would be helpful.

I have developed code using Edge rails and I am sure many others have
done so. It is important for us that our code will work in the future so
things are in the trunk might change but disappear will make my life a
living hell. So I would very much like to know am I living dangerously
on the Edge or??

Cheers

I think this is one where you’re going to have to browse the svn
repository…

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/activeresource

(the tests are a good place to start :slight_smile:

Best,
