VendorApiClient

A base class implemented with Faraday, this gem provides some of the common features typically needed in a REST api client.

It only handles JSON requests/payloads.

It is not meant to be a flexible HTTP client library. Use it if the defaults work for you. Otherwise it might be better to use something like Faraday directly.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rest_api_client'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rest_api_client

Create your own client by subclassing RrestApiClient. Provide your host url in the initializer.

class Client < RestApiClient::Client
  def initialize(options = {}, &block)
    @url = 'http://my.site.com'
    super
  end
  
  def friends(queries)
    get('/friends', params: queries)
  end

  ## you code here...

end

Then you can use the HTTP verbs like this:

Client.new.friends({ gender: 'm' })

##== curl http://my.site.com/friends?gender=m

By default it sends and receives JSON. You can override it by passing in a block. See Faraday configurations for details

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
