-Authentication
+Setup (Rails 3)
--------------
The Recurly Ruby Client requires a username and password to connect. We recommend creating a user just for your API. Please see the [Authentication](http://support.recurly.com/faqs/api/authentication) documentation for more information.
-Create a file in your Rails app at __/config/initializers/recurly_config.rb__ with contents like:
+If using Rails 3, the easiest way to get Recurly set up is to run `rake recurly:setup`. This will create a config/recurly.yml that has your recurly account authentication, and the Recurly rails initializer will pick it up on restart of your web app.
+
+Setup (Rails 2 and other frameworks)
+--------------
+
+Alternatively, if not using Rails 3, just make sure to call a Recurly configure block somewhere in your applications initialization.
+
Recurly.configure do |c|
c.username = 'api@yourcompany.com'
c.password = 'super_secret_password'
c.site = 'https://my-recurly-site.recurly.com'
end
+In Rails 2.x, this code should be in config/initializers/recurly.rb
-Demo Application
+In Sinatra, it should be within a `configure` block.
+
+
+Manual Setup via YAML
+--------------
+
+You can also configure Recurly via a YAML file by using:
+
+ Recurly.configure_via_yaml("./config/recurly.yml")
+
+
+The Recurly Configuration YAML is in the format of:
+
+ username: myrecurlyuser@domain.com
+ password: myrecurlypassword
+ site: https://myrecurlysite.recurly.com
+
+
+Clearing test data (Rails3)
----------------
+ The Recurly Railtie (for rails3) includes a rake task that allows you to easily clear out the test data on your Account. This is useful when automating the testing of the api interation within your own app.
+
+ rake recurly:clear_test_data
