Hello,

I'm creating a shipping provider for easypost.com , and had a high level question. Since all shipping providers seem to require you to add resources (FedEx 2day, FedEx Overnight, etc). I was wondering what the best approach for dynamic Resources. Specifically, EasyPost allows you to connect your UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc and their API abstracts all those shipping methods into a distilled list when you request quotes. So I'll get back maybe 6 quotes from FedEx, 6 quotes from UPS, but it's always different depending on addresses and such.

I am working backwards from the FedEx shipping provider, and see this code in the GatewayProvider

public override IEnumerable<IShippingGatewayMethod> GetShippingGatewayMethodsForShipment(IShipment shipment)
    {
        var methods = base.GetShippingGatewayMethodsForShipment(shipment);

        var shippingMethods = new List<IShippingGatewayMethod>();
        foreach (var method in methods)
        {     
            var quote = method.QuoteShipment(shipment);

            if (quote.Result.Rate > (decimal) 0.00)
            {
                shippingMethods.Add(method);
            }
        }

        return shippingMethods;
    }

But in this situation there is really only one shipping method, with many rates. However, the FedEx plugin each "Quote" is essentially a "Resource" in backoffice, right? Unless I missed something here.

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks! -Marc
