# ChartMogul
-Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file `lib/chart_mogul`. To experiment with that code, run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt.
+This gem is designed to streamline interaction with the [ChartMogul](https://dev.chartmogul.com) API. The initial focus has been on support for the [Import API](link!!).

## Usage
-TODO: Write usage instructions here
+Credentials are provided in the Account / API area of the ChartMogul application and comprise an `account_token` and `secret_key`.
+This can be passed in when insantiating a `ChartMogul::Client` instance, eg:
+
+```ruby
+client = ChartMogul::Client.new(account_token: 'token value', secret_key: 'secret value')
+```
+
+If not passed to the constructor the values returned by the `CHART_MOGUL_ACCOUNT_TOKEN` and `CHART_MOGUL_SECRET_KEY` environment variables are used.
+
+Methods for access the API are exposed on the `client`.
+
+### Reading data
+
+Reading methods, `list_` prefix, are either presented as simple methods that page through all responses from the API and present a fully populated Array of typed objects.
+
+```ruby
+client.list_customers # => [ Import::Customer, Import::Customer ]
+```
+
+and as an iterative version, with an `_each` suffix, that expects a block. Useful for those situations where you're dealing with a lot of records and don't want them necessarily all in memory. This again handles the paging transparently.
+
+The block is yielded to with a typed object.
+
+```ruby
+client.list_customers_each do |customer|
+ # do something with the Import::Customer here
+end
+```
+
+### Importing data
+
+Data records are imported by passing a Hash of attributes to a `create_` prefixed method.
+
+```ruby
+client.create_plan({
+ data_source_uuid: "ds_2323232",
+ name: "Top Plan",
+ interval_count: 1,
+ interval_unit: :month
+})
+```
+
+Dates and times are expected as `Time` objects. The gem handles the formatting required by the ChartMogul API.
+
+Where possible pre request validation is also handled by the gem. `ArgumentErrors` with a description of the variable are raised in the event that pre submit validation fails.
+
## Development
After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
