MongoID Support? about acts_as_api HOT 6 CLOSED

At the moment I don't have time to add mongo db support to the gem, but it would be definitely cool. You can also fork the project and try it yourself.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. :)

Neither Rails nor ActiveRecord seems to be a hard requirement. Seems to work well with 'just' ActiveSupport::CoreExt::Class (for #read_inheritable_attribute), ActiveModel (for xml serialization), Json (for - surprise - json serialization) and Set. See here: https://gist.github.com/738005 :D

Hi niko,
you're right. thanks for the helpful gist. :)

Today I took the first steps for mongoid support (but I still consider this as very experimental) and removed the active record dependency.

I opened a new branch for mongoid (https://github.com/fabrik42/acts_as_api/tree/mongoid) and also ported the example app to work with mongoid (https://github.com/fabrik42/acts_as_api_example/tree/mongoid).

I'm still a mongodb newbie, so I guess it will need a lot of further improvement and I'm thankful for any feedback.

This one should probably be closed - current version of acts_as_api have support for mongoid :)

I will close it as soon as I have some tests written for it and updated the documentation -> soon...

The new version 0.3.6 now supports mongoid support out of the box.
The specs cover exactly the same features as for ActiveRecord.
