    <p>Take a look at <a href="http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveResource/Base.html" rel="nofollow">ActiveResource</a>.</p> <p>You'll end up with models, but most will only take up one line.</p> <p>Say your api service has a url like: <a href="http://api.fart.com/products.json" rel="nofollow">http://api.fart.com/products.json</a> which spits out a list of products. In your rails app that will be consuming this data, create a <code>Product</code> model inheriting from <code>ActiveResource</code>. First, set your api url for activeresource.</p> <pre><code>class ActiveResource::Base self.site = "http://api.fart.com" end </code></pre> <p>Next, define a Product class.</p> <pre><code>class Product &lt; ActiveResource::Base; end </code></pre> <p>Now, in your controllers, you can do:</p> <pre><code>Product.all </code></pre> <p>And it should hit "http://api.fart.com/products.json" and return the good stuff.</p> <p>Obviously this is a quickly contrived example, but I have recently used it for a similar situation and it worked great.</p> <p>///////////////</p> <p>see <a href="https://github.com/davidglivar/stack_rest_api" rel="nofollow">example applications</a> for basic concept.</p> <p>///////////////</p> <p>Per your questions and your pull requests on github I understand what you are trying to do now. <code>ActiveResource</code> does not come with a <code>where</code> method - however, it's <code>find</code> method has an options argument that supports a params hash. </p> <p>Rails controller with query params</p> <pre><code>def index @products = Product.find :all, params: { country: "Brazil", price: 500 } end </code></pre> <p>This will hit our Sinatra route at api.fart.com/products.json?country=Brazil&amp;price=500</p> <pre><code># Assume we are using ActiveRecord/DataMapper or the like get "/products.json" do @products = Product.where country: params[:country], price: params[:price].to_i json products: @products end </code></pre>

    1. COAwesome, thats exactly I was looking for. My only concern is using friendly_id for slug. Is there any way to have it in such implementation?

    2. COAlso suppose I have a REST api url like GET http://api.fart.com/products/edible?minprice=200&maxprice=233434&type=organic&from=brazil so in such case, how my product class will look like? Also in controller, how I will make call to such url?

    3. CO@JVK, I'm creating a quick sample app for you now. I'll post to github in a little bit. In short, friendly_id appears to be solely for ActiveRecord, but can be duplicated easily.

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
