Exposing OData in ruby on rails

Question

I have looked at the lightning connect - which I was only recently informed of, and I like the look off it and I am planning to try and use it.

However I have run into an issue, I want to use a rails application to expose data as OData. I was wondering if anybody with experience would give be able to give me some advice on where to start.

Thank you.

The answer seems to be that there is none, really. People seem to either not provide OData endpoints for their ruby/rails APIs, or maybe they just "wing it"... maybe we're thinking too complicated here, I mean OData is RESTful, rails is RESTful, JSON is well supported. Maybe it's perfectly fine to just define a few routes and be done with it.

https://github.com/lmcalpin/odata_server is a fork that has a commit at the end of 2015, at least. Still alpha and very, very small feature set, though.
