# RABL - an intro

## fork me

git clone https://github.com/teohm/event-api

## problem?

When building a non-trivial web API, you may notice it is

difficult use `to_json` or `as_json` to serialize model into JSON:

## rabl - ruby api builder language

RABL provides a simple DSL to generate JSON/XML from model.

See https://github.com/nesquena/rabl

## demo - event management app

3 models: User, Event, EventGuest

    # To load sample data

    bundle exec rake db:migrate:reset

    bundle exec rake db:fixtures:load

### 1. use `extends` to reuse

- http://localhost:3000/users/1

- http://localhost:3000/users

### 2. use `child` to add more fields

- http://localhost:3000/events

### 3. use `glue` to attach child fields directly to parent

- http://localhost:3000/events/1/guests
