v3.1.0 - Show latest stable - Class: ActiveResource::Base

schema=(the_schema)

public

Alternative, direct way to specify a schema for this Resource. schema is more flexible, but this is quick for a very simple schema.

Pass the schema as a hash with the keys being the attribute-names and the value being one of the accepted attribute types (as defined in schema)

example:

class Person < ActiveResource::Base

schema = {'name' => :string, 'age' => :integer }

end

The keys/values can be strings or symbols. They will be converted to strings.

      def schema=(the_schema)
        unless the_schema.present?
          # purposefully nulling out the schema
          @schema = nil
          @known_attributes = []
          return
        end

        raise ArgumentError, "Expected a hash" unless the_schema.kind_of? Hash

        schema do
          the_schema.each {|k,v| attribute(k,v) }
        end
      end
