Rails ActiveResource与自定义REST集合架构？

Question

我试图在active_resource gem（ActiveResource）之上设置一些Rails模型

module Core
    class RestResource < ActiveResource::Base
        self.format = :json
    end
end

module Core
    module API
        class BaseModel < ::Core::RestResource
        self.site = ENV['API_URI']
        self.headers['Api-Token'] = ENV['API_TOKEN']
        end
    end
end

module Core
    module API
        class MyModel < ::Core::API::BaseModel
        end
    end
end

我正在尝试运行rails控制台，如下所示

2.3.1 :001 > MyModel = Core::API::MyModel
 => Core::API::MyModel 
2.3.1 :002 > MyModel.all
ArgumentError: expected an attributes Hash, got ["data", [{"first_name"=>"walter", "last_name"=>"white", "timestamp"=>1478515925}]]

在我的rails控制台（rails实例启动API）我可以看到

Started GET "/v1/my_model.json" for ::1 at 2016-11-08 16:42:11 +0100
Processing by V1::MyModelController#index as JSON
  MyModel Load (0.2ms)  SELECT "my_model".* FROM "my_model"
[active_model_serializers] Rendered V1::MyModelSerializer with MyModelSerializer::Adapter::Attributes (2.2ms)
Completed 200 OK in 13ms (Views: 2.8ms | ActiveRecord: 1.8ms)

我的理解是Rails activeresource期望JSON API返回类似于：

[
  {"first_name": "walter", "last_name": "white"}, 
  {"first_name": "chuck", "last_name": "norris"}
]

当我的集合看起来像这样：

{
  "data": [
    {"first_name": "walter", "last_name": "white"}, 
    {"first_name": "chuck", "last_name": "norris"}
  ],
  "collection": {
    "total_entries": 2
  }
}

我现在正在寻找一种很好的自定义ActiveResource Collection解析器的方法，可能就像backbone.js正在做的那样（http://backbonejs.org/#Collection-parse），但不知怎的，我找不到这个问题的明显答案。

任何的想法？谢谢！

默认情况下，ActiveResource对API返回的数据格式有很强的期望，但您可以为这样的场景提供自己的格式。

任何实现一些预期方法的Ruby对象都可以用作格式。 ActiveResource本身将格式作为模块实现，因此我们将坚持这一惯例。

作为一个懒惰的人，我将重用标准的JsonFormat实现，只覆盖方法decode：

module CustomJsonFormat
  include ActiveResource::Formats::JsonFormat

  extend self

  def decode(json)
    ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(json)['data']
  end
end

现在我们告诉ActiveResource子类使用它：

class BaseModel < ActiveResource::Base
  self.format = CustomJsonFormat

  # ... set self.site, self.headers etc.
end
