Overview

Action Service objects implement an exported API. Used in controllers operating in Delegated dispatching mode.

An ActionService::Base derivative is the public interface of an API.

Example

class SearchCriteria < ActionStruct::Base
member :firstname, String
member :lastname, String
member :email, String
end

class PersonApi < ActionService::Base
def find_person(criteria)
  Person.find_all [...]
end

def delete_person(id)
  Person.find_by_id(id).destroy
end

export :find_person, :expects => [SearchCriteria], :returns => [[Person]]
export :delete_person, :expects => [Integer]
end

See ActionService::Exporting::ClassMethods for more details on the syntax for declaring exported methods.
