= UrlJob | ||
|
||
Rails gem that provides an engine which allows for creating urls that execute jobs | ||
|
||
== Install | ||
|
||
gem install url_job | ||
|
||
== Usage | ||
|
||
Lets assume you have an class like the following: | ||
|
||
class Redirector < Struct.new(:redirect_to) | ||
def initialize(redirect) | ||
self.redirect_to = redirect | ||
end | ||
|
||
def perform(args={}) | ||
self | ||
end | ||
end | ||
|
||
By creating a UrlJob using the following: | ||
uj = UrlJob::Job.from_object(Redirector.new("http://frison.ca")) | ||
|
||
And visiting: | ||
http://localhost:3000/uj/#{uj.token} | ||
|
||
The result will be deserializing the Redirector job, and calling it's perform method. | ||
The perform method should return an object that responds to either: 'redirect_to' or 'render', and the corresponding action will occur. The perform method will be passed in a dictionary with the following keys: | ||
:ip_address => The ip address of the url visitor | ||
:user_agent => The user agent of the url visitor | ||
:referrer => The referrer of the url visitor | ||
:token => The token used to visit the url. | ||
|
||
A more interesting example might be an object like: | ||
|
||
class Tracker | ||
def initialize | ||
end | ||
|
||
def perform(params={}) | ||
@url_job = UrlJob::Job.find_by_token(params[:token]) | ||
UrlTrack.create(:url_job => @url_job, | ||
:referrer => params[:referrer], | ||
:ip_address => params[:ip_address], | ||
:user_agent => params[:user_agent]) | ||
|
||
OpenStruct.new({:render => " "}) | ||
end | ||
end | ||
|
||
This way you could do something like: | ||
uj = UrlJob::Job.from_object(Tracker.new) | ||
|
||
And embed a image tag like: | ||
<img src="http://localhost:3000/uj/#{uj.token}" height="1px" width="1px"> | ||
|
||
