Rails gem that allows you to easily interact with an Oauth secured rest API with the ActiveResource model.

= OauthActiveResource

Rails gem that allows you to easily interact with an Oauth secured rest API with the ActiveResource model. You have to provide an http-like object that signs your requests with your already retrieved access_token, like the one that the oauth gem provides (http://oauth.rubyforge.org/rdoc/classes/OAuth/AccessToken.html)

= Getting Started

Assuming that you are using oauth gem:

  1. Add into your Gemfile:

    gem 'oauth-activeresource'

  2. Make your models inherit from OauthActiveResource instead ActiveResource

    class MyModel < OauthActiveResource::Base end

  3. Set a before_filter in your controllers to override your connection object with your access_token object

    def set_oauth MyModel.oauth_connection = @access_token end

Where @access_token is the final object that the oauth gem uses to sign every request. More info about how to create that object here (http://oauth.rubyforge.org/)
