== DESCRIPTION:

A Ruby client library for accessing CloudKit (http://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 <tt>http://localhost:9292/</tt> 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")
  
== REQUIREMENTS:

* cloudkit server
* rest-client
* json

== CloudKit API (http://getcloudkit.com/rest-api.html) Checklist:

* GET /cloudkit-meta - OK!
* OPTIONS /%uri% - OK!
* GET /%collection% - OK!
* GET /%collection%/_resolved - OK!
* GET /%collection%/%uuid% - OK!
* GET /%collection%/%uuid%/versions - OK!
