webhook_parse.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'contentful'

class DummyResponse
	def initialize(data)
		@data = data
	end

	def headers
		{}
	end

	def status
		200
	end

	def to_s
		@data
	end
end

def parse_response(json)
	Contentful::Response.new(DummyResponse.new(json))
end

#p parse_response(File.read('cf-1.json')).object
#p parse_response(File.read('cf-2.json')).object

client = Contentful::Client.new(
  access_token: 'b4c0n73n7fu1',
  space: 'cfexampleapi'
)

#entry = parse_response(File.read('cf-1.json'))
#builder = Contentful::ResourceBuilder.new(client, entry)
#builder.instance_variable_set(:@nested_locales, true)
#p builder.run

asset = parse_response(File.read('cf-asset-1.json'))
builder = Contentful::ResourceBuilder.new(client, asset)
#builder.instance_variable_set(:@nested_locales, true)
p builder.run.file.url

Parsing assets doesn't completely work, yet, see contentful/contentful.rb#63

Nice. So basically DummyResponse mimics an API response so you can use the normal Contentful response / resource methods? This seems like the most expedient solution for proper caching.

@neonichu and / or @edtjones about to dive into the solving proper caching for the current version of contentful_model / contentful_rails. any idea if this stuff still works?

@sebbean Sorry, I don't work at Contentful anymore at this point and can't say if this still works. Probably best to email support.
