PsuIdentity

A wrapper for Penn State's search service API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'psu_identity'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install psu_identity

Usage

Add this to the top of your code:

require 'psu_identity'

To query the search service by name:

# Takes a hash as parameter with 'text:' as the key

PsuIdentity::SearchService::Client.new.search(text: 'Jimmy Tester')

This will return an array of PsuIdentity::SearchService::Person objects matching the query

To query the search service by userid:

# Takes a string as a parameter

PsuIdentity::SearchService::Client.new.userid('abc123')

This will return a single PsuIdentity::SearchService::Person object matching the query

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.
