Usage with Ruby

[mperham]

How do I use rest_suite with a Rails app? Am I supposed to use the netsuite-rest-client Ruby API in my Rails app talking to the JS in this project?

I'm currently filling in the README with info on deployment and accessing. The info should all be available later this morning. @mperham

[JamesChristie]

@mperham Deployment instructions have been added to the README file. It's not a pleasant process, so please let me know of any problems or points of confusion you encounter. I'll leave the issue open until we seem reasonably satisfied the instructions are a truly good explanation.

[mperham]

We've got the deployment finished here, although we can't really test it because we need something on the client-side which knows how to call the restlets. Any ETA or advice on Ruby code that will do this? I assume netsuite-rest-client won't work for this.

[JamesChristie]

@mperham Correct, it's now deprecated. We have a client library called NSS that we will also be releasing publicly very soon. Though, until that time all you need is a JSON object as the body of a POST request to the endpoint given in the deploy record. You can at least do some simple prodding that way.

[mperham]

@JamesChristie That sounds great. We'd be happy to take a look at NSS any time you want to show it off. I'm not a JS guy so I can't really help with this project but I can certainly help out on the Ruby API.

[JamesChristie]

@mperham Just a small note, I had forgotten to include and have now added a how-to on building the auth header contents for a request. Our NSS library will do this from a yaml, but to use the js files directly you'll have to build it manually for the next little bit.

Continuing dev of the ruby client will continue here: https://github.com/acumenbrands/wyatt

and here: https://github.com/acumenbrands/wyatt_netsuite

These are going to be starting clean so the client can be built to a slightly higher standard than the current one, which has little to no test coverage and a somewhat out of date approach that targeted an earlier concept of rest_suite.
