Plistifier
==========
Adds the ActiveRecord#to_plist and Array#to_plist methods similar to ActiveRecord#to_xml.
The :only, :except, :methods, and :include options are supported.
It too ads the :plist option to the ActiveRecord::Base#render method. With help of that
you get binary plist files which you can easy use in your iPhone.
Install
=======
script/plugin install git://github.com/jeena/plistifier.git
Example
=======
In your PostController use for example:
def index
@posts = Post.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @posts }
format.plist { render :plist => @posts, :only => [:id, :title] }
end
end
def show
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @post }
format.plist { render :plist => @post }
end
end
On the iPhone use for example:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://example.com/posts.plist"];
NSArray *posts = [[NSArray alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url];
NSLog(@"Title: %@", [[posts objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:@"title"]);
Thanks
======
This plugin uses Christian Kruses CFPropertyList http://github.com/ckruse/CFPropertyList
to generate Plists.
This plugin started as a copy of http://github.com/chuyeow/jsonifier/ I just changed it to
support and added the CFPropertyList stuff.
