h2. Overview ObjectiveResource is a port of Rails' ActiveResource framework to Objective-C. The primary purpose of this project is to quickly and easily connect iPhone applications with servers running Rails. This project relies on ObjectiveSupport, which aims to provide some popular Rubyisms to Objective-C. If you checkout this project using git, you can pull down ObjectiveSupport by doing a "git submodule init" followed by a "git submodule update". h2. Getting Started h3. Sample Code This project comes bundled with a sample iPhone application and a sample Rails application. To see how everything works together you can open up the .xcodeproj and fire up a rails server in sample_rails_app. h3. Integrating with your project # Download (clone) the objectiveresource project ## If you do a git clone, you will need to follow it up with "git submodule init" and "git submodule update" # open the .xcodeproj in XCode for both objectiveresource and your iPhone project # drag the ObjectiveResource and ObjectSupport groups from the objectiveresource project onto your iPhone project, making sure to check the "copy files" box. h2. Contributing h3. Running Tests Unit testing makes use of the SenTest work-alike from Google Toolbox for Mac. To run the tests, select the "Unit Tests" target in XCode and Build and Run. You will need to have Rails installed along with the populator and faker gems, as the project uses a "Run Script" to setup a local Rails server for testing.
