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!!). -TODO: Delete this and the text above, and describe your gem - ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ```ruby @@ -20,20 +18,65 @@ $ gem install chart_mogul ## 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). ## Contributing -Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/[USERNAME]/chart_mogul.
