Hi,
I am still having here and there problems, when developing a RESTful
application. After completing my first personal toy up, I felt like
being on the way to understand REST in rails. 
But now I have the need for a dashboard in an application. Sounds like
a nice singleton resource with only an index method. But the next
question is, how to get the other resources connect or better
displayed on the dashboard.
On my dashboard I want to display the resources memos, anniversaries,
events, topics, etc. grouped on a daily basis. The dashboard will
always show the current day and the next three days. Based on that, I
have the following questions and would be more then happy, if anybody
can share some insights with me.
-
How can I connect the dashboard to the other resources? Currently I
think, that the dashboard controller will fetch the resources and
embed it in the web page. -
How do I have to extend resources so that I can do something like
getting the anniversaries for the 2007-06-15? In my imagination that
should result in an URL like /anniversaries/2007/06/15 and I should
also put new anniversaries using that way…
Hopefully, I have not screwed it up completely, but your are
absolutely free to tell me, that I haven’t understood REST.
Best regards,
Oliver
