Set site/user fields in ActiveResource

Question

I am building a sinatra app that will use Highrise CRM gem to access Highrise data. This gem is based on ActiveResource class. I want to set site, user fields for every request.

Answer 1

I've been playing a lot with setting site option dynamically during runtime and the only solution I have found which will not lead to race condition.

class Runner
  def self.new(site)
    Class.new(ActiveResource::Base) do
      self.site = site
      self.element_name = 'runner'

      # your methods here
    end.new
  end
end

Answer 2

While defining method with define_method you can specify its arguments passing them as arguments to the block and not to define_method itself. So you can define setter method like that:

define_method("#{attr}=") do |val|
  Thread.current["active_resource.#{attr}"] = val
end
