DESCRIPTION:¶ ↑

A Ruby client library for accessing CloudKit (getcloudkit.com) RESTful repositories using simple Ruby objects.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:¶ ↑

At this time, clouder implements all methods in CloudKit API (as seen in the checklist at the requirements section) and is good to be used in most basic cases.

Clouder::Entity is a subclass of OStruct, but that might change in the future.

SYNOPSIS:¶ ↑

Here is some sample code of how to use clouder, assuming that you have a CloudKit server running at http://localhost:9292/ and exposing “notes”.

Entity declaration¶ ↑

class Note < Clouder::Entity
  uri "http://localhost:9292/notes"
end

Creating new documents¶ ↑

n = Note.new
n.new? # true
n.text = "My first note"
n.author = "John Doe"
n.save
n.new? # false

# Short alternative
n = Note.create(:text => "My first note", :author => "John Doe")

Retrieving a single document¶ ↑

n = Note.get("d35bfa70-cca0-012b-cd41-0016cb91f13d") # some valid id
puts n.text, n.author

Deleting documents¶ ↑

n = Note.get("d35bfa70-cca0-012b-cd41-0016cb91f13d") # some valid id
n.delete
n.deleted? # true

Retrieving collections¶ ↑

# This retrieves only the URIs
uris = Note.all
uris.each { |uri|
  n = Note.get(uri)
  puts n.text, n.author
}

# Using offset and limit
uris = Note.all(:offset => 5, :limit => 10)

# To retrieve full documents, use the :resolved option
notes = Note.all(:resolved => true)

# You can combine all the options
notes = Note.all(:resolved => true, :offset => 3, :limit => 50)

Retrieving older versions of a document¶ ↑

n = Note.get("d35bfa70-cca0-012b-cd41-0016cb91f13d") # some valid id

# This retrieves only the URIs
# - you can also use offset and limit options
older_uris = n.versions(:limit => 5)

# To retrieve full documents, use the :resolved option
older_notes = n.versions(:resolved)

Inspecting some metadata for a repository¶ ↑

# Which collections are available for this server?
uris = Clouder.collections("http://localhost:9292/")
uris # [ "notes" ]

# Retrieving only the headers for a valid URI
headers = Clouder.head("http://localhost:9292/notes")
