Hey guys,
I'm setting up ActionMailer for the first time to email pdfs generated on
the fly. I have the following so far:
class ReportMailer < ActionMailer::Base
def daily_shift_report(recipients, day, report_params)
recipients recipients.map{|u| u.email}
subject "Shift Reports for #{day}"
from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
attachment "application/pdf" do |a|
a.body = # Some http request to grab the pdf
end
end
end
NOTE: this isn't working code yet :)
I need to do a get request on some url (lets call it
"/generate_report?#{report_params}") that will return a pdf using this
method:
send_data(pdf_file, :type => "application/pdf", :filename =>
"#{pdf_title}.pdf")
which I use in other parts of the site to serve up pdfs, but I wasn't sure
how to make a basic request and grab the response using ActionController.
There is a get method, but that just returns a status (200, 404, etc).
QUESTION: Is there anything like
Net::HTTP.start('localhost', 3000) do |http|
response = http.get("/generate_report?#{report_params}", 'Accept' =>
'application/pdf')
a.body = response.body
end
built into ActionController that I could use to grab the response from a
request? I would think calling app.get should return something more than
just a status... like headers and a response!
Thanks!
