Json-api links

[Oliver Barnes]

Hey guys,

Is it possible to represent links in the format json-api prescribes? As per http://jsonapi.org (example right at the top of homepage)

I'm aware there isn't built-in support like there is for HAL, justI'm wondering if I can get it going with the roar/representable's dsl. Opening the hood it looked like the Hypermedia module wouldn't do it as is.

I thought about providing JSON-API support in Roar in general if anyone helps me out with tests.

So, a DSL like that

link "posts.comments", type: :comments do

  "http://example.com/comments/{posts.comments}"

end

would produce that

"posts.comments": {
  "href": "http://example.com/comments/{posts.comments}",
  "type": "comments"
}

Right?

Happy to help with tests, I looked into actually implementing it myself, but it was a little over my head

Ok, but then how do I wrap that in a 'links' hash?

"links": {

    "posts.comments": {
      "href": "http://example.com/comments/{posts.comments}",
      "type": "comments"
    }

  },

and then, in the resource itself, create this

"posts": [{
    "id": "1",
    "links": {
      "comments": [ "5", "12", "17", "20" ]
    }
  }]

WIP tests:

https://github.com/apotonick/roar/pull/98

It’s making more sense as I get into it, I can take a stab at the implementation too, with some guidance

So cool, thanks for that, breaking tests are the best motivation to implement stuff.
