module Blowout

  module Api

    Client = RC::Builder.client do

      use RC::DefaultSite, 'http://localhost:7272'
      use RC::JsonResponse, true
      use Blowout::Api::HashResponse

    end

  end

end

class Blowout::Api::Client
  def spiders
    endpoint = class << Blowout::Api::Spider
      # def self.resource_name
      #   super
      # end
    end
    puts endpoint
    puts endpoint.inspect
    puts endpoint.methods
    endpoint.set_client self
    endpoint
  end
end

The idea would be to use the client like this:

client = Blowout::Api::Client.new url: 'http://api.owndomain.com'

spider = client.spiders.find 123 # will send a GET request to /spiders/123
spider = Blowout::Api::Spider.find 123 # or if you want to use the default client/domain
puts spider # instance of Spider
puts spider.name # can access hash properties of the JSON response because of Hashie::Mash
spider.update(name: 'test') # will send a PUT request to /spiders/123

The main problem is how to 'inject' different instances of Client as a class variable of each Resource/Model?
