Re: [Rails] Rails Services Module

Matthias, the point is, that not everything has to come with Rails. Lets keep things modular and cleanly separated. Don't try to integrate everything into the Rails core when it can just as well be done withing a Gem.

yes i know these gems. but offers rails itself a layer to hook in such external APIs?
like a docking station, where you can register external services and so on..

Rails does not support an interface for external APIs? Or does it offers one?
For example you have to interact with the facebook graph api, twitter api, and others, is there a main basic end-to-end point for such api's?

Not sure what you mean - the interaction with external services is typically done with gems. Some examples:

Twitter - https://github.com/sferik/twitter

Facebook - https://github.com/nsanta/fbgraph

Git repos - https://github.com/mojombo/grit

There's also a wide variety of gems that handle the lower-level details to make interacting with APIs easier, from HTTParty to RestClient to Faraday.
