web_service_api(definition=nil)

Attaches ActionWebService API definition to the calling class.

Action Controllers can have a default associated API, removing the need to call this method if you follow the Action Web Service naming conventions.

A controller with a class name of GoogleSearchController will implicitly load app/apis/google_search_api.rb, and expect the API definition class to be named GoogleSearchAPI or GoogleSearchApi.

Service class example

  class MyService < ActionWebService::Base
    web_service_api MyAPI
  end

  class MyAPI < ActionWebService::API::Base
    ...
  end

Controller class example

  class MyController < ActionController::Base
    web_service_api MyAPI
  end

  class MyAPI < ActionWebService::API::Base
    ...
  end
