Grape::Resources

Grape-resources is an extension of the grape API framework that allows to scaffold easily models that could not contain much logic, it allows you also to specify wich of the REST methods to scaffold in case you dont want to generate those all.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'grape-resources'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install grape-resources

Usage

Imagine you want to build the basic CRUD for one of your models inside your grap API, for the example lets say its called Player.

In your api/my_api.rb

class MyApi::API < Grape::API
  resources_for(Player)
end

This should generate by default the following routes:

GET     /players
GET     /player/:id
POST    /player
PUT     /player/:id
DELETE  /player/:id

In case you only want some of the routes you can specify these to the resource method like:

class MyApi::API < Grape::API
  resources_for(Player, [:list, :get])
end

And again this should only generate the following routes:

GET     /players
GET     /player/:id

Available options for routes are:

:list   -> [GET]    /players
:get    -> [GET]    /player/:id
:post   -> [POST]   /player
:put    -> [PUT]    /player/:id
:delete -> [DELETE  /player/:id

resources_for method can receive a block to allow nested resources, and custom endpoints for a particular class

for example:

  class MyApi::API < Grape::API
    resources_for Player, [:list, :get] do
      get :tshirt_size do
          ...
      end
    end
  end

And it will generate:

  GET     /players
  GET     /player/:id
  GET     /players/tshirt_size

TODO: v0.0.3

• Detect when resources_for is being called inside another resource, in that case, generated routes should consider the parent resource id.

for example:

    class MyApi::API < Grape::API
      resources :teams do
        resources_for(Player, [:list, :get])
      end
    end

And it should generate:

    GET     /team/:id/players
    GET     /team/:id/player/:id
    POST    /team/:id/player
    PUT     /team/:id/player/:id
    DELETE  /team/:id/player/:id
