The Big Cartel Ruby Gem
====================
A Ruby wrapper for the Big Cartel External REST API.

[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/tonkapark/bigcartel.png)](http://travis-ci.org/tonkapark/bigcartel)

Version 1.0.2
-----------

With the release of 1.0 I changed some of the design of the gem and should be considered a breaking change if you were using the 0.* versions of the gem. I hope this new design of the gem will be faster and also more useful in your applications.


Installation
------------
    gem install bigcartel
    
Usage
------
    require 'rubygems'
    require 'bigcartel', '>~ 1.0.0'
    require 'pp'


    client = BigCartel::Client.new
    
    client.store("tonkapark", {:show_products => true, :product_limit => 2})
    
    client.products("tonkapark", {:limit => 100})
    
    client.page("tonkapark", "page-permalink")
    
    
    store = BigCartel.store("tonkapark")     

    pp store.description
    
    store.products.each do |product|
     pp product.name
     pp product.image.thumb
    end
    
    
    
    
What you can do with the gem
---------

As part of the [Big Cartel Themes and Templates](http://themes.tonkapark.com) available from Tonka Park there was a small web app built using the BigCartel gem to generate google products xml and also create a theme preview.
