Who is the maintainer for Active Resource? and/or who is interested in working on it?
There are a number of additional features I required for a current project. I was able to solve some of these by using "Reactive Resource" (https://github.com/justinweiss/reactive_resource) but many I had to implement as override of various sorts. It seems like a better solution would be to build some more flexibility into Active Resource itself. I notice that Active Resource hasn''t really changed since 3.0.0. Is anybody working on this right now? Is there a maintainer I should talk to regarding potential patches?

[Disclaimer: I''m not a core team member] I think if you would, It''d be great if you''d fork it and maintain it. I don''t really see much effort to it either, and I don''t know how to *patch* it since I''m not using it regularly. I think I''d then try to convince the core team to remove it, and then suggest people to use that gem instead. - Prem On 12 พ.ค. 2554, at 17:49, Nick Urban wrote:> There are a number of additional features I required for a current > project.

Re: Who is the maintainer for Active Resource? and/or who is interested in working on it?
I don''t have a good idea of the pros and cons of turning Active Resource into a gem, but if that were to happen, it does seem like Active Resource might become more free to evolve quickly and independently of the rest of Rails. Perhaps someone who is more knowledgeable could comment further.

ActiveResource has always promised great things, but it''s still something of a dream. I''d love to see some progress.

Re: Re: Who is the maintainer for Active Resource? and/or who is interested in working on it?
I''m working with ActiveResource at the moment and I do find it a bit lacking personally. Having to implement the find_by_* methods myself is one of my prime annoyances at the moment. Perhaps a group of people could get together and work on fixing up the annoyances people have with it?

It''s useful (mostly) when you have another rails app providing the web service, and that''s not always the case (when you don''t, you usually need to add enough glue around that it ends up being easier to use something else.)

FYI: I don''t mention it in Rails 3 in Action because there''s better alternatives, such as HTTParty (or if you''re desperate, Typhoeus + Nokogiri) for connecting to external web services. tl;dr: ActiveResource is a ghetto.

Re: Who is the maintainer for Active Resource? and/or who is interested in working on it?
Hi, Just a testimony here, as I stumble upon this thread. Two years ago, my team and I worked on a complex back-office for a client : a modular sales and customer management system, dealing with offers, sales, payment, hotline, archive of communications with the customer. We did it with Rails and we had about 15 different applications interconnected with webservices. We had to deal with shared authentication, intranet accounts, rights management, sending Objects between applications (but with different attributes, depending on who is asking). A front-end allowed to search, edit and create a lot of things, and more than often a hotliner action on the frontend could trigger 10 applications in the back before getting the final result. To do this we used ActiveRessource. Unfortunately we didn''t take the time to give feedbacks to the Rails community about this project, but here are some bulletpoints : - we had a very hard time finding solutions to our problems on the internet. It seems that very, very few people are using ActiveRessource and Rails to construct complex systems. - If we let aside all the observations like "You should have used Java instead" that we received from some externals, I should point out that ActiveRessource has been pretty disappointing, and we could clearly see how far it is from the rest of Rails features in term of quality. We felt that only few people actually use it. - we had to patch for some issues and we wrote several plug-ins to help us communicate between apps. We had to code it quick and we now that the quality level of our coding was not enough to submit these things to the Rails community. In a sense we lacked confidence. But the thing is : ActiveRessource is far from being enough to do serious work with several Rails apps, it''s still experimental in my opinion. And since my project two years ago, it has not evolved a lot. I think that it would be a good move to make it an external gem, and if a core-team member or a serious Rails committer takes the lead, I''m ready to help and to rework on some patches we did.

Re: Re: Who is the maintainer for Active Resource? and/or who is interested in working on it?
Please do submit these patches to the Rails project itself. It doesn''t matter if you think are poorly written. They will be reviewed and you will get feedback on them, learning how to write better code and understand the Rails code as you do it. You''re not learning if you''re not doing.

Re: Who is the maintainer for Active Resource? and/or who is interested in working on it?
My $0.02... +1 for splitting ActiveResource into a gem that is outside of the core. As Ryan Bigg says below, there are better alternatives and removing it from the core wouldn''t force those that are using something else to have it laying around. It would also allow it to be versioned independently as it seems to have a lifecycle of its'' own.

I totally agree, ActiveResource needs to be resurrected either within or out of the framework as independent project.

Re: Re: Who is the maintainer for Active Resource? and/or who is interested in working on it?
I''ll offer to maintain it, I''ve been looking for a chance to get involved with Rails in a better way. I''m a student stuck in the middle of exams right now, but am starting a job heading up the dev team on a Ruby/Rails project in a couple of months so will be involved heavily then. I know the guys behind the new company really want to be contributing to open source, and I certainly do, so they will be resources backed to helping maintain it. How does this kind of thing usually work? Does it involve some kind of interview, or is it just a "first come, first serve" take it or leave it basis?

Re: Who is the maintainer for Active Resource? and/or who is interested in working on it?
I created a google group for Active Resource. Please join if you''re interested in contributing. I always set big groups on digest or no-email and miss most of the discussion, but I want to receive actual messages about Active Resource development. By having a high signal-to-noise list, hopefully we can keep the conversation focused and build some momentum. http://groups.google.com/group/active-resource Thanks, Nick On May 16, 9:19 am, Ryan Bigg <radarliste...@gmail.com> wrote:> Jason Stirk and I are working on a rewrite of Active Resource at Railsconf.

It''s more like a "get your pull request in, we''ll review it thing.

I know the guys behind the new company really want to be contributing to open source, and I certainly do, so they will be resources backed to helping maintain it.

It''s useful (mostly) when you have another rails app providing the web service, and that''s not always the case (when you don''t, you usually need to add enough glue around that it ends up being easier to use something else.) Has the core team thought about splitting ActiveResource out of the main rails framework, as ActionWebService did a while back? -foca On Friday, 13 May 2011 at 9:14 AM, Paul Campbell wrote: ActiveResource has always promised great things, but it''s still something of a dream.

Re: Who is the maintainer for Active Resource? and/or who is interested in working on it?
Hello guys, I''m working (with a friend of mine) on improving ActiveResource. Currently, we work at this pull request and we''re adding a belongs_to method for finishing it: https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/230 I would love to see that ActiveResource stay in Rails core and get more attention by it''s maintainers because it has a lot of potential to become a really usefull piece of software, but even if it get moved into a new gem we will continue developing on it.

Re: Who is the maintainer for Active Resource? and/or who is interested in working on it?
I''m happy with whatever the consensus is (gem or core). I''d like to suggest we make a list of features which AR should have and doesn''t and then we can figure out what sort of changes will support those features and not duplicate each other''s efforts. The problems which I have had to deal with in my own code are: - converting to/from camel case - resource paths with no extension - being able to specify which attributes are sent instead of sending them all Wishlist: - Hooks! - Expand the power of the "schema" (possibly fold in the feature that lets you send / ignore certain attributes) I understand Markus is working on associations. Reactive Resource also adds associations. Ryan and Pierre, I''m curious what features you are adding.

Oh, another thing I''ve added which would be great to have built-in is easily toggleable request logging, so you can see what''s happening, and warnings when requests look suspicious (e.g. missing a path parameter).
