An HTTP client with REST literals
ForwardSlash makes REST a first-class citizen of the Ruby programming language. Rather than forcing developers to write code that makes calls to URLs over HTTP, ForwardSlash lets you drop the URL right in your code - no more worrying about what HTTP is. This blog post explains it best.
Install the gem:
gem install forward-slash
Require the module:
require 'forward_slash'Then include the ForwardSlash module in a class you want to make HTTP calls from, and you're good to go! Here's a runnable example (taken from the examples folder):
$LOAD_PATH.unshift 'lib'
require "forward_slash"
class CurrentIp
include ForwardSlash
def self.print
result = http://ifconfig.me/ip
puts result
end
end
CurrentIp.printAnything that isn't valid Ruby syntax is unsupported, including:
- Query strings
- Trailing slashes on URLs
The tests are run against all versions of Ruby currently supported by the core team. Anything else is unsupported.
