Hi all,

I want to invite you to check out ResourceAwareness, a small gem that makes available information about a Rails application's resources (as defined by the 'resource/s' routing DSL methods) at Rails.application.resources.

You can find a brief introductory post about it here:

There is also another post with a small example (dynamic ActiveResource client creation) for the kind of things that are possible once this resource information is available:
