oauth-activeresource

= 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 = session[:request_token].get_access_token( :oauth_verifier => params[:oauth_verifier] ) end

   Where session[:request_token] is your OAuth::Consumer and params[:oauth_verifier] the parameters that the authorizer is sending to your callback method.
