Using ActiveResource and when I have a nested resource, using the ‘prefix’ works great.<\/p>\n

class Account < ActiveResource::Base\n  self.prefix = \"\/users\/:user_id\/\"\nend\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
All is fine as long as :user_id has been defined, or else an error will be raised. But how to make the ‘self.prefix’ conditional, in cases where I don’t want to access this resource as a nested resource, but rather as the resource itself?<\/strong> For example, I’d like to retrieve all accounts, not just the accounts scoped by a particular user?<\/p>\n

    You could set the prefix to be entirely dynamic:<\/p>\n
    class Account < ActiveResource::Base\n    self.prefix = \":prefix_path\"\nend\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Then set it at runtime:<\/p>\n
    Account.find(:all, :params => { :prefix_path => '\/users\/4' } )\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
