indatus / activeresource Goto Github PK

@brianwebb01 since I know you are thinking about this right now I'd like to make a feature request for v2.0. It would be nice if the ActiveResource client knew nothing about the implementation of the API/Server.

So the client has no way of saying something like this because it doesn't know the underlying model/table design of the API.

'joins[0]' => "residents:residents.id=messages.resident_id"

Instead, the client can just say /api/messages and expect that each message will either have a hypermedia link to the associated resident or (really even better) the resident is just embedded in in each message object. This way the client is decoupled from the implementation details of the API. So the API can safely move the models/tables/relationships for resident and message around and the client will never know that the implementation behind /api/messages was changed.
