Examples
========
[Example application](http://github.com/grosser/rpx_now_example), go play around!
environment.rb
--------------
RPXNow.api_key = "YOU RPX API KEY"
Controller
----------
This example uses the SessionsController, if you dont have one built it and add routes(rpx_token is a post request)
skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token, :only => [:rpx_token] # RPX does not pass Rails form tokens...
# user_data
# found: {:name=>'John Doe', :username => 'john', :email=>'john@doe.com', :identifier=>'blug.google.com/openid/dsdfsdfs3f3'}
# not found: nil (can happen with e.g. invalid tokens)
def rpx_token
raise "hackers?" unless data = RPXNow.user_data(params[:token])
self.current_user = User.find_by_identifier(data[:identifier]) || User.create!(data)
redirect_to '/'
end
# getting additional profile fields (these fields are rarely filled)
# all possibilities: https://rpxnow.com/docs#profile_data
data = RPXNow.user_data(params[:token], :additional => [:gender, :birthday, :photo, :providerName, ...])
# normal + raw data
RPXNow.user_data(params[:token], :additional => [:raw_response])[:raw_response]['profile]['verifiedEmail']
# only raw data
email = RPXNow.user_data(params[:token], :raw_response => true)['profile']['verifiedEmail']
# with extended info like friends, accessCredentials, portable contacts. (most Providers do not supply them)
RPXNow.user_data(params[:token], :extended => true)[:extended]['friends'][...have a look at the RPX API DOCS...]
View
----
<%=RPXNow.embed_code('My-Rpx-Domain', url_for(:controller => :session, :action => :rpx_token, :only_path => false))%>
OR
<%=RPXNow.popup_code('Login here...', 'My-Rpx-Domain', url_for(:controller => :session, :action => :rpx_token, :only_path => false), options)%>
###Options
`:language => 'en'` janrain tries to detect the users language, but you may overwrite it [possible languages](http://documentation.janrain.com/engage/widgets/localization)
`:default_provider => 'google'` [possible default providers](http://documentation.janrain.com/engage/widgets/sign-in#TOC-Default-Provider)
`:flags => 'show_provider_list'` [possible flags](http://documentation.janrain.com/engage/widgets/sign-in)
`:html => {:id => 'xxx'}` is added to the popup link (popup_code only)
###Unobtrusive / JS-last
`popup_code` can also be called with `:unobtrusive => true` ( --> just link without javascript include).
To still get the normal popup add `RPXNow.popup_source('My-Rpx-Domain', url_for(:controller => :session, :action => :rpx_token, :only_path => false), [options])`
Options like :language / :flags should be given for both.
Advanced
--------
### Versions
RPXNow.api_version = 2
### Custom domain (Plus/Pro)
RPXNow.domain = 'other-domain.com'
### Mappings (Plus/Pro)
You can map your primary keys (e.g. user.id) to identifiers, so that
users can login to the same account with multiple identifiers.
RPXNow.map(identifier, primary_key) #add a mapping
RPXNow.unmap(identifier, primary_key) #remove a mapping
RPXNow.mappings(primary_key) # [identifier1,identifier2,...]
RPXNow.all_mappings # [["1",['google.com/dsdas','yahoo.com/asdas']], ["2",[...]], ... ]
After a primary key is mapped to an identifier, when a user logs in with this identifier,
`RPXNow.user_data` will contain his `primaryKey` as `:id`.
A identifyer can only belong to one user (in doubt the last one it was mapped to)
### User integration (e.g. ActiveRecord)
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
include RPXNow::UserIntegration
end
user.rpx.identifiers == RPXNow.mappings(user.id)
user.rpx.map(identifier) == RPXNow.map(identifier, user.id)
user.rpx.unmap(identifier) == RPXNow.unmap(identifier, user.id)
### Contacts (Pro)
Retrieve all contacts for a given user:
RPXNow.contacts(identifier).each {|c| puts "#{c['displayName']}: #{c['emails']}}
### Status updates (Pro)
Send a status update to provider (a tweet/facebook-status/...) :
RPXNow.set_status(identifier, "I just registered at yourdomain.com ...")
### Activity (Pro)
Post a users activity, on their e.g. Facebook profile, complete with images, titels, rating, additional media, customized links and so on ...
RPXNow.activity( identifier,
:url => href, :action => 'Im loving my new', :user_generated_content => 'Im loving my new ... ',
:title => product.title, :description => product.description,
:action_links => [{:text => 'view >>', :href => product_url(product, :only_path => false)}],
:media => [{:type => :image, :src => product.image_url, :href => product_url(product, :only_path => false)}]
)
### Offline user data access (Plus/Pro)
Same response as auth_info but can be called with a identifier at any time.
Offline Profile Access must be enabled.
RPXNow.get_user_data(identifier, :extended => true)
### Auth info
Same response as user_data with :raw_response, but without any kind of failure detection or post processing.
RPXNow.auth_info(params[:token])
