dm-salesforce

A gem that provides a Salesforce Adapter for DataMapper.

The URI for a Salesforce repository is:

salesforce://username:password@salesforce.wsdl # relative wsdl path
salesforce://username:password@/etc/salesforce.wsdl # absolute wsdl path

The wsdl is converted into Ruby classes and stored in ~/.salesforce. This automatically happens the first time you use the salesforce adapter, so you don’t need to worry about generating Ruby code. It just works.

An example of using the adapter:

class Account
  include DataMapper::Resource

  property :id, String, :key => true
  property :name, String
  property :description, String
  property :billing_city, String
  property :billing_postal_code, String
  property :billing_country, String
  property :billing_state, String
  property :billing_street, String
  property :fax, String
  property :phone, String
  property :type, String
  property :website, String
  has n, :contacts
end

class Contact
  include DataMapper::Resource

  property :id, String, :key => true
  property :title, String
  property :email, String
  property :first_name, String
  property :last_name, String
  property :home_phone, String
  property :mobile_phone, String
  property :phone, String
  belongs_to :account
end

You can then do Contact.all("account.name.like" => "%ruby%"), which will get a list of all contacts whose associated account’s name is like %ruby%.
