In this article, I’m going to begin to outline my approach for creating API clients in Ruby. I’ve worked on quite a few web applications that interact with a lot of internal and external services. These services were shared by a number of other internal Rails applications, so I found myself creating Ruby API client gems to make it easier and more consistent to interact with these services.

This article is part of my effort to write about some of the real-world development challenges I encountered during the development of my podshare.fm application. In this article, I’ll show how I used a ViewComponent to represent the status of a background job while updating the view using TurboFrames. If you haven’t had a chance to check out ViewComponents, I’d highly recommend you take a lo...
