Hi All,
I''m new to REST and RESTFul web services. Looking forward for a
clarification,
My question is, Are the only REST methods
GET
POST
PUT
DELETE
or can we have a method name like getUserFullName in REST ?
please guide me, coz i''m planing to develop and API with REST so i need
to have an idea what kind of methods i can use
thankx in advance
cheers
sameera

> My question is, Are the only REST methods > GET > POST > PUT > DELETE > or can we have a method name like getUserFullName in REST ?these are REST verbs, the common REST methods are: index (get) show (get) new (get) create (post) edit (get) update (put) destroy (delete) those you''ll use in most cases. but you can still use as many other methods as you want. you should only think if it''s really necessary in a given case. think you have a user controller. index will show a list of all users show will show a single users detailed data new will show a form to enter new users create will create user based on the posted new form edit will get the edit form for an existing user update will update an existing user (from submitted edit form) destroy will delete an user but you may want to export a csv list of selected users or import them from a vcard file or whatever, you cann still write an action like export_csv or import_vcard -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
