The Ruby bindings for Apipie documented APIs.
The bindings cache the apidoc from the server. It has separated caches for each server it connects to. If the server sends the apipie checksum in the headers Apipie-Checksum: <md5>
, the bindings can expire the cache and reload updated version before next request. If the server does not send the hashes, the cache does not expire and has to be deleted manually when necessary.
The ability to send checksums comes with Apipie 0.1.1, see the docs on how to set it up.
It is possible to list available resources, actions, params, routes and its attributes
$ rake install
$ irb
irb> require 'apipie-bindings'
irb> api = ApipieBindings::API.new({:uri => 'http://localhost:3000/', :username => 'admin', :password => :changeme})
irb> api.resources
=> [<Resource :roles>, <Resource :images>, <Resource :reports>, <Resource :hosts>, .... <Resource :architectures>]
irb> api.resource(:architectures).actions
=> [<Action :index>, <Action :show>, <Action :create>, <Action :update>, <Action :destroy>]
irb> api.resource(:architectures).action(:show).routes
=> [<Route /api/architectures/:id>]
irb> api.resource(:architectures).action(:show).params
=> [<Param *id (String)>]
irb> api.resource(:architectures).action(:show).params.first.required?
=> true
irb> api.resource(:architectures).call(:show, :id => 1)
=> {"name"=>"x86_64", "id"=>1, "created_at"=>"2013-12-03T15:00:08Z", "updated_at"=>"2013-12-03T15:00:08Z"}

there is not much of the library documented yet, but we started to document our API with Yard.
The docs are installed with the gem and can be viewed from the docs dir directly or by running
yard server --gems
or online on rubydoc.info
