grid_rest¶ ↑

grid_rest is a gem that makes your rails application interact with other backends through a REST interface. It is build in a situation where one rails application was talking to 2 java backends. The main development focus is JSON communication, but XML should be just as easy.

Example configurations¶ ↑

These configurations should be put in config/grid_rest.yml:

General REST interface¶ ↑

include_in:
- ActiveRecord::Base
- ActionController::Base
extend: ActiveRecord::Base  
development:
  url_prefix: '/api/1.0'
  host: localhost
  port: 20400
  logging: true

production:
  url_prefix: '/api/1.0'
  host: localhost
  port: 20400
  logging: true

test:
  url_prefix: '/api/1.0'
  host: localhost
  port: 20400
  logging: true
