Hi Sergio,
Zinc-REST is part of the Zinc repository and a fork for Gemstone
can be found here:
https://github.com/GsDevKit/zinc/tree/gs_master/repository/Zinc-REST.package
Most part is to implement the code that generates the Swagger
specification for your ZnRESTCall subclasses. But it is no vodoo.
It becomes more complexe if you would actually like to use the
swagger specification on the server site to do request data
validation and error handling,.... I currently use Swagger only
for documentation purposes.
Amber limitations? Not really.
It took me some time to figure out how to configure my servers to
cope with CORS for the Swagger-UI and my current jsonwebtocken
security mechanism is not supported by the SwaggerUI and I had to
allow insecure access for the Swagger UI to the Gemstone server.
The Amber Swagger-JS integration works quite nicely.
I did not publish the code on Github because the integration is so
tiny. I can send it to you if you like.
Or no,... let me prepare a demo based on the Swagger petshop demo
and I will put it online.
Might take a day or two until I find some time.

hey, sebastian.. this looks great! this looks like
what i am after..��
did you run into any problems or limitations using Amber as
a front end? I have not tried Amber yet, so this might be the
right time to give it a shot.. where did you find zinc-rest? a
quick search turns up references to it.. should i be able to
just install it via my image?
andrew - i thought about using the seaside rest add on, but
seaside seems to be alot of overhead just to run a rest
server..
mariano - i am thinking about using api token..

I
have been a project coming up that I really onlyneed a
restful ��API on.
The
front end will ��be first built on a mobile device(iOS
)then back on possibly android, with a very stripped
down web application.
i
would like to use pharo/gemstones as the database.
is
there a project out there that allows for such restful
API development in pharo land? This would be so fun!��
thanks
I am not so sure what
you mean exactly but this is my stack.
I use pure Zinc-REST on the Gemstone side and the REST API
is described in Swagger-Spec from within Gmestone.
Clients are VBA, Amber and Pharo and they utilize the
Swagger API spec to access the server.
Works pretty well and is much more preformant than the
intial Pharo MongoDB backend I initially used.
Have a look into
http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~HeSe/Swagger-Spec
There you can find most of the needed Swagger implementation
some minor details like type constants are missing.
Once your Gemstoneserver knows how to host his Swagger-Spec
you can host it via
https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui
This saves a lot of explaning time to client developers.
