== DESCRIPTION:
|
7
|
+
|
8
|
+
A series of components for implementing the Ext.Direct API specification in Merb. Ext.Direct in Merb utilizes
|
9
|
+
merb-parts. Each part can define a CRUD api which router will dispatch requests to.
|
10
|
+
|
11
|
+
Includes a Controller mixin for giving a controller the ability to act as an Ext.Direct RemotingProvider. This mixin
|
12
|
+
turns the Controller into an Ext.Direct router.
|
13
|
+
|
14
|
+
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
|
15
|
+
|
16
|
+
== SYNOPSIS:
|
17
|
+
|
18
|
+
First include the RemotingProvider mixin into a high-level controller non-specific to any particular model. This
|
19
|
+
mixin will turn the controller into a Router, routing requests into a Merb::PartController.
|
20
|
+
|
21
|
+
|
22
|
+
This mixin will add a callable action named "rpc" to the whichever included into. You can then set this as the
|
23
|
+
url for your Ext.Direct configuration in javascript. For the Admin controller above, the url would be
|
24
|
+
"/admin/rpc"
|
25
|
+
|
26
|
+
class Admin < Application
|
27
|
+
include Merb::ExtJS::Direct::RemotingProvider
|
28
|
+
end
|
29
|
+
|
30
|
+
<script>
|
31
|
+
Ext.Direct.addProvider({
|
32
|
+
url: '/admin/rpc', //<-- Note the url corresponding to Admin above.
|
33
|
+
type: 'remoting',
|
34
|
+
actions: {
|
35
|
+
UserPart : [ // <-- UserPart is a Merb::PartController
|
36
|
+
{name: 'load', len: 1},
|
37
|
+
{name: 'save', len: 2},
|
38
|
+
{name: 'create', len: 1},
|
39
|
+
{name: 'destroy', len: 1}
|
40
|
+
]
|
41
|
+
}
|
42
|
+
});
|
43
|
+
</script>
|
44
|
+
|
45
|
+
When an Ext.Direct request is serviced by the RemotingProvider mixin, it will create an XRequest instance and attach
|
46
|
+
it to the Controller's params upon the symbol :xrequest.
|
47
|
+
|
48
|
+
Following is a typical PartController receiving Ext.Direct requests. Notice each request begins by retrieving
|
49
|
+
the XRequest instance from params then instantiating an XResponse feeding it the XRequest instance into the
|
50
|
+
constructor.
|
51
|
+
|
52
|
+
Each request ends by simply calling the to_json method upon the XResponse instance.
|

+

|
55
|
+

res = XResponse.new(req)

== REQUIREMENTS:
|
98
|
+
|
99
|
+
merb-parts
|
100
|
+
|
101
|
+
== INSTALL:
|
102
|
+
|
103
|
+
sudo gem install merb-extjs-parts
|
104
|
+
|
105
|
+
IMPORTANT: This gem includes a required javascript file named "merb-extjs-direct.js" in the root of this gem.
|
106
|
+
Currently you MUST copy this file to your /public/javascripts directory and included it immediately the ext
|
107
|
+
framework's assets (ie: immediately after "ext-all.js").
|
108
|
+
|
109
|
+
merb-extjs-direct.js contains a couple of simple overrides of the Ext.Direct library which will rename two
|
110
|
+
HTTP request parameters to be more Merb/Rails-like. By default, Ext.Direct uses the word "action" where Merb
|
111
|
+
uses "controller" and "method" vs "action". Confusing, eh? The HTTP params are actually renamed xcontroller
|
112
|
+
and xaction to not interfere with Merb reserved words. If you don't see "xcontroller" / "xaction" params
|
113
|
+
in your Ajax requests, make sure you've got merb-ext-direct.js included.
|
114
|
+
|
115
|
+
In the future, I'll have >rake install automaticlly copy this file to /public/javascripts (Would anyone like to
|
116
|
+
contribute some code to do that?)
