Feature - Datagrid with ActiveResource?

[jonmchan]

Datagrid supports activerecord - how difficult would it to be to use datagrid with active resource? Has anyone had any experience with this?

It will be hard because activeresource doesn't support any kind of chained finding methods like where(..).where(...).where(...). Datagrid expects this as a core feature to anything it can support.

However there is a hacky way to support activeresource with a constructions like this:

class MyGrid
  scope { [] }
  dynamic do
    scope do
       ActiveResourceModel.find(:all, params: attributes.slice(:one, :two))
    end
  end

  filter(:one, dummy: true)
  filter(:two, dummy: true)
end
