This repository contains two gems:

• diaspora_federation provides the functionality for de-/serialization and de-/encryption of Entities in the protocols used for communication among the various installations of diaspora*.
• diaspora_federation-rails is a rails engine that adds the diaspora* federation protocol to a rails app.

Usage

Add the gem to your Gemfile:

gem "diaspora_federation-rails"

Mount the routes in your config/routes.rb:

mount DiasporaFederation::Engine => "/"

Configure the engine in config/initializers/diaspora_federation.rb:

DiasporaFederation.configure do |config|
  # the pod url
  config.server_uri = AppConfig.pod_uri

  config.define_callbacks do
    on :fetch_person_for_webfinger do |diaspora_id|
      person = Person.find_local_by_diaspora_id(diaspora_id)
      if person
        DiasporaFederation::Discovery::WebFinger.new(
          # ...
        )
      end
    end

    on :fetch_person_for_hcard do |guid|

  end
end
