using Ooor in Rails applications

(J)Ruby on Rails application:

we assume you created a working Rails application, in your config/environment.rb Inside the Rails::Initializer.run do |config| statement, paste the following gem dependency:

$ config.gem "ooor"

Now, you should also create a ooor.yml config file in your config directory You can copy/paste the default ooor.yml from the OOOR gem and then adapt it to your OpenERP server environment. If you set the 'bootstrap' parameter to true, OpenERP models will be loaded at the Rails startup. That the easiest option to get started while you might not want that in production.

Then just start your Rails application, your OpenERP models will be loaded as you'll see in the Rails log. You can then use all the OOOR API upon all loaded OpenERP models in your regular Rails code (see API usage section). A good way to start playing with OOOR is inside the console, using: $ ruby script/console #or jruby script/console on JRuby of course

Note: when boostraping Ooor in a Rails application, the default Ooor instance is stored in the Ooor.default_ooor variable. So for instance you can know all loaded models doing Ooor.default_ooor variable.loaded_models; this is used by OooREST to register all the REST controllers.

Enabling REST HTTP routes to your OpenERP models: The REST Controller layer of OOOR has been moved as a thin separate gem called OooREST.
