Get tax info from SureTax API

This gem is for XBP only. It's NOT the public "suretax" gem.

In Docker, Suretax's ENV variables are set in ap/config/initializers/suretax.rb.

If not in Docker, set environment vars with direnv (brew install direnv):

In your directory, have secret .envrc file like:

export SURETAX_VALIDATION_KEY=____
export SURETAX_CLIENT_NUMBER=____
export SURETAX_BASE_URL=https://testapi.taxrating.net
export SURETAX_REQUEST_VERSION=04
export SURETAX_CANCEL_VERSION=01

To Use:

In Gemfile, put

gem 'suretax', git: 'https://github.com/rayning0/suretax.git'

In your code, put

require 'suretax'

Tax.new(zipcode: '94088').get_tax
Tax.new(zipcode: '94088', revenue: '15.15').get_tax
Tax.new(zipcode: '94088', revenue: '15.15',
        trans_date: '09/12/2017', trans_type_code: 'FIXEDVOIP').get_tax

Must have at least 1 parameter. May have 1-13 parameters, like:

Tax.new(trans_type_code: 'HWCREDIT', tax_situs_rule: '03', sales_type_code: 'B',...).get_tax

For parameters you leave out, we use these defaults from default_args:

  zipcode: '91324',
  trans_date: '09/12/2017',
  trans_type_code: 'HWCREDIT',
