# Fastly [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/fastly/fastly-ruby.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/fastly/fastly-ruby) Client library for interacting with the Fastly web acceleration service [API](http://docs.fastly.com/api) ## Examples Add fastly to your Gemfile: ```ruby gem 'fastly' ``` Create a fastly client: ```ruby # some_file.rb # use {api_key: 'your-key'} or {user: 'username', password: 'password'} as login options fastly = Fastly.new(login_opts) current_user = fastly.current_user current_customer = fastly.current_customer user = fastly.get_user(current_user.id) customer = fastly.get_customer(current_customer.id) puts "Name: #{user.name}" puts "Works for #{user.customer.name}" puts "Which is the same as #{customer.name}" puts "Which has the owner #{customer.owner.name}" ``` List the services we have defined: ```ruby fastly.list_services.each do |service| puts "Service ID: #{service.id}" puts "Service Name: #{service.name}" puts "Service Versions:" service.versions.each do |version| puts "\t#{version.number}" end end service = fastly.create_service(name: "MyFirstService") latest_version = service.version ``` Create a domain and a backend for the service: ```ruby domain = fastly.create_domain(service_id: service.id, version: latest_version.number, name: "www.example.com") backend = fastly.create_backend(service_id: service.id, version: latest_version.number, name: "Backend 1", ipv4: "192.0.43.10", port: 80) ``` Activate the service: ```ruby latest_version.activate! ``` You're now hosted on Fastly. Let's look at the VCL that Fastly generated for us: ```ruby vcl = latest_version.generated_vcl puts "Generated VCL file is:" puts vcl.content ``` Now let's create a new version: ```ruby new_version = latest_version.clone ``` Add a new backend: ```ruby new_backend = fastly.create_backend(service_id: service.id, version: new_version.number, name: "Backend 2", ipv4: "74.125.224.136", port: 8080) ``` Add a director to switch between them: ```ruby director = fastly.create_director(service_id: service.id, version: new_version.number, name: "My Director") director.add_backend(backend) director.add_backend(new_backend) ``` Upload some custom VCL (presuming we have permissions): ```ruby custom_vcl = File.read(vcl_file) new_version.upload_vcl(vcl_name, custom_vcl) ``` Set the custom VCL as the service's main VCL ```ruby new_version.vcl(vcl_name).set_main! new_version.activate! ``` ### Efficient purging Purging requires your Fastly credentials and the service you want to purge content from. To purge efficiently you do not want to look up the service every time you issue a purge: ```ruby fastly = Fastly.new(api_key: 'YOUR_API_KEY') service = Fastly::Service.new({ id: 'YOUR_SERVICE_ID' }, fastly) # purge everything: service.purge_all # purge by key: service.purge_by_key('YOUR_SURROGATE_KEY') ``` You can also purge without involving the Fastly client at all by sending a POST request with your Fastly API key in a `Fastly-Key` header: ``` curl -H 'Fastly-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' -X POST \ https://api.fastly.com/service/YOUR_SERVICE_ID/purge/YOUR_SURROGATE_KEY ``` See the [Fastly purging API documentation](https://docs.fastly.com/api/purge) for more information and examples. ## Usage notes If you are performing many purges per second we recommend you use the API directly with an HTTP client of your choice. See Efficient Purging above. fastly-ruby has not been audited for thread-safety. If you are performing actions that require multiple threads (such as performing many purges) we recommend you use the API directly. ## Contributing 1. Fork it 2. Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b my-new-feature`) 3. Commit your changes (`git commit -am 'Added some feature'`) 4. Push to the branch (`git push origin my-new-feature`) 5. Create new Pull Request ### Notes for testing The test suite requires the following `ENV` variables to be set: * `FASTLY_TEST_USER` - Your user email * `FASTLY_TEST_PASSWORD` - Your account password * `FASTLY_TEST_API_KEY` - Your API key (found at https://app.fastly.com/#account) While the test suite is safe to be run on all accounts and isn't harmful to your data, the tests will create and delete 3 services in sequence so you may want to create an account just for tests. ## Copyright Copyright 2011-2014 - Fastly Inc ## Redistribution MIT license, see LICENSE. ## Contact Mail support at fastly dot com if you have problems. ## Developers * http://github.com/fastly/fastly-ruby * http://www.fastly.com/documentation
