Coolpay Wrapper Gem

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dannysmith_coolpay'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself with:

$ gem install dannysmith_coolpay

Usage

c = Connection.new username: 'username',
                   api_key: 'ABC123',
                   api_endpoint_url: 'https://coolpay.herokuapp.com/api'

c.create_recipient name: 'Joe Bloggs' #=> <Recipient>
c.recipients #=> List of all recipients

# Making a payment
lucky_winner = c.recipients(name: 'Joe Bloggs').first

c.create_payment amount: '1000.00',
                 currency: 'GBP',
                 recipient_id: lucky_winner.id

c.payments #=> List of all payments

To run the tests

Set three environment variables:

COOLPAY_USERNAME=mrbloggs
COOLPAY_API_KEY=ABC12345678
COOLPAY_API_ENDPOINT_URL=https://coolpay.herokuapp.com/api

Then run rake spec. On the first run, VCR will record most of the API calls and use the stored requests/responses for subsequent test runs. There is one test that will always hit the live API, though.

Stuff this should have in it if it wasn't an exercise

• More sensible tests for Connection#payments and Connection#recipients.
• A way of reauthorizing, in case the token times out.
• A bunch of refactoring for brevity.

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.
