Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install provet-client

Configuration

require 'provet'

Provet.host = "https://us.provetcloud.com" # optional
Provet.api_version = "0.1" # optional
Provet.instance = 123 # required
Provet.token = "your_provet_token" # required

Usage

Every resource available in the ProvetCloud API is mapped with a corresponding class inheriting from Provet::Base, which contains the necessary methods to properly consume the API endpoints.

The classes are :

• Provet::Appointment
• Provet::Availability
• Provet::Client
• Provet::ConsultationDischargeInstructions
• Provet::ConsultationItemTemplate
• Provet::ConsultationItem
• Provet::Consultation
• Provet::Department
• Provet::InvoiceRow
• Provet::Invoice
• Provet::ItemList
• Provet::ItemTemplateItem
• Provet::ItemTemplate
• Provet::Item
• Provet::LaboratoryAnalysisGroup
• Provet::Patient
• Provet::PhoneNumber
• Provet::ReasonGroup
• Provet::Reason
• Provet::ReminderTemplate
• Provet::Reminder
• Provet::Shift
• Provet::ShiftType
• Provet::UserDetails
• Provet::UserGroup
• Provet::User
• Provet::VatGroup

On each of the aforementioned classes you can call the following methods:

.base_uri

Returns the base URI of the Provet API. Depends on the Provet instance present in the Rails credentials. Example :

Provet::Base.base_uri
# => "https://us.provetcloud.com/1234/api/0.1" in staging

#list

Returns a list of the designated provet resource. It is paginated by default. Example :

res = Provet::Client.new.list
res.parsed_response
# => {"count"=>4223, "num_pages"=>85, "next"=>"https://us.provetcloud.com/1234/api/0.1/client/?page=2", "previous"=>nil, "results"=>[{"id"=>1, "url"=>"https://us.provetcloud.com/1234/api/0.1/client/1/", "title"=>nil, "firstname"=>"Helmut", "lastname"=>"Eldridge", "organization_name"=>"", "customer_type"=>0, "vat_number"=>"", "register_number"=>nil, "home_department"=>"https://us.provetcloud.com/1234/api/0.1/department/1/", "due_date_delay"=>nil, "street_address"=>"Job Str.", "street_address_2"=>nil, "street_address_3"=>nil, "zip_code"=>"W11 2BQ", "city"=>"London", "state"=>nil, "email"=>"", "alt_emails"=>nil, "id_number"=>"", "old_client_id"=>nil, "critical_notes"=>nil, "critical_accounting_notes"=>nil, "remarks"=>"", "archived"=>true, "country"=>"", "no_sms"=>false, "no_email"=>false, "external"=>false, "referring_organization"=>false, "parent_referring_organization"=>nil, "referring_vet"=>false, "imported"=>false, "date_imported"=>nil, "patients"=>[], "invoicing_client"=>nil, "tags_rel"=>[], "created"=>"2018-03-26T20:16:25-04:00", "created_user"=>nil, "modified"=>"2021-06-25T14:13:26-04:00", "modified_user"=>"https://us.provetcloud.com/1234/api/0.1/user/8/", "phone_numbers"=>[], "status_type"=>0, "fields_rel"=>[], "farm_code"=>nil, "holdingplacenumbers"=>[], "communication_preferences"=>nil, "production_animal_client"=>false}, # [...]]}

#all

Calls #list as many times as there are pages and returns one array with all related resources. Use with caution if many records.

Example :

all_provet_clients = Provet::Client.new.all
# => [{"id"=>1, "url"=>"https://us.provetcloud.com/1234/api/0.1/client/1/", "title"=>nil, "firstname"=>"Helmut", "lastname"=>"Eldridge", "organization_name"=>"", "customer_type"=>0, "vat_number"=>"", "register_number"=>nil, "home_department"=>"https://us.provetcloud.com/1234/api/0.1/department/1/", "due_date_delay"=>nil, "street_address"=>"Job Str.", "street_address_2"=>nil, "street_address_3"=>nil, "zip_code"=>"W11 2BQ", "city"=>"London", "state"=>nil, "email"=>"", "alt_emails"=>nil, "id_number"=>"", "old_client_id"=>nil, "critical_notes"=>nil, "critical_accounting_notes"=>nil, "remarks"=>"", "archived"=>true, "country"=>"", "no_sms"=>false, "no_email"=>false, "external"=>false, "referring_organization"=>false, "parent_referring_organization"=>nil, "referring_vet"=>false, "imported"=>false, "date_imported"=>nil, "patients"=>[], "invoicing_client"=>nil, "tags_rel"=>[], "created"=>"2018-03-26T20:16:25-04:00", "created_user"=>nil, "modified"=>"2021-06-25T14:13:26-04:00", "modified_user"=>"https://us.provetcloud.com/1234/api/0.1/user/8/", "phone_numbers"=>[], "status_type"=>0, "fields_rel"=>[], "farm_code"=>nil, "holdingplacenumbers"=>[], "communication_preferences"=>nil, "production_animal_client"=>false}, {[...]}]

#find(id: String)

Returns the corresponding provet resource.

res = Provet::Client.new.find(1)
res.parsed_response
# => {"id"=>1, "url"=>"https://us.provetcloud.com/1234/api/0.1/client/1/", "title"=>nil, "firstname"=>"Helmut", "lastname"=>"Eldridge", "organization_name"=>"", "customer_type"=>0, "vat_number"=>"", "register_number"=>nil, "home_department"=>"https://us.provetcloud.com/1234/api/0.1/department/1/", "due_date_delay"=>nil, "street_address"=>"Job Str.", "street_address_2"=>nil, "street_address_3"=>nil, "zip_code"=>"W11 2BQ", "city"=>"London", "state"=>nil, "email"=>"", "alt_emails"=>nil, "id_number"=>"", "old_client_id"=>nil, "critical_notes"=>nil, "critical_accounting_notes"=>nil, "remarks"=>"", "archived"=>true, "country"=>"", "no_sms"=>false, "no_email"=>false, "external"=>false, "referring_organization"=>false, "parent_referring_organization"=>nil, "referring_vet"=>false, "imported"=>false, "date_imported"=>nil, "patients"=>[], "invoicing_client"=>nil, "tags_rel"=>[], "created"=>"2018-03-26T20:16:25-04:00", "created_user"=>nil, "modified"=>"2021-06-25T14:13:26-04:00", "modified_user"=>"https://us.provetcloud.com/1234/api/0.1/user/8/", "phone_numbers"=>[], "status_type"=>0, "fields_rel"=>[], "farm_code"=>nil, "holdingplacenumbers"=>[], "communication_preferences"=>nil, "production_animal_client"=>false}

#create(payload: JSON)

Creates a Provet resource and returns that resource. Example :

payload = {
  firstname: "Luke",
  lastname: "Skywalker",
  email: "luke@example.com",
  patients: [],
}

res = Provet::Client.new.create(payload.to_json)
res.parsed_response

#update(id: String, payload: JSON)

Updates a Provet resource and returns that resource.

payload = {
  firstname: "Luke",
  lastname: "Skywalker",
  email: "luke@example.com",
  patients: [],
}

res = Provet::Client.new.update(1, payload.to_json)
res.parsed_response
# => {"id"=>1, "url"=>"https://us.provetcloud.com/1234/api/0.1/client/1/", "title"=>nil, "firstname"=>"Luke", "lastname"=>"Skywalker", "organization_name"=>"", "customer_type"=>0, "vat_number"=>"", "register_number"=>nil, "home_department"=>"https://us.provetcloud.com/1234/api/0.1/department/1/", "due_date_delay"=>nil, "street_address"=>"Job Str.", "street_address_2"=>nil, "street_address_3"=>nil, "zip_code"=>"nil", "city"=>"nil", "state"=>nil, "email"=>"", "alt_emails"=>nil, "id_number"=>"", "old_client_id"=>nil, "critical_notes"=>nil, "critical_accounting_notes"=>nil, "remarks"=>"", "archived"=>true, "country"=>"", "no_sms"=>false, "no_email"=>false, "external"=>false, "referring_organization"=>false, "parent_referring_organization"=>nil, "referring_vet"=>false, "imported"=>false, "date_imported"=>nil, "patients"=>[], "invoicing_client"=>nil, "tags_rel"=>[], "created"=>"2021-03-26T20:16:25-04:00", "created_user"=>nil, "modified"=>"2021-06-25T14:13:26-04:00", "modified_user"=>nil, "phone_numbers"=>[], "status_type"=>0, "fields_rel"=>[], "farm_code"=>nil, "holdingplacenumbers"=>[], "communication_preferences"=>nil, "production_animal_client"=>false}

#destroy(id: String)

Destroys a Provet resource. Example:

res = Provet::Client.new.destroy(1)

Additional notes

Non allowed methods

Some endpoints do not allow certain requests to be made. For example, you can read user groups, but you can't write (create, update or destroy). When an attempt at calling a method that is not allowed, a Provet::MethodNotAllowedError error will be thrown.

Soft deletion

Some Provet resources are configured to be soft-deletable with this gem:

• Provet::Appointment
• Provet::Client
• Provet::Patient
• Provet::User

For these classes, calling #destroy will perform a PATCH http request to archive the resource in Provet, instead of actually erasing it.

Some of those soft-deletable resources can be hard-destroy by calling #really_destroy! on them.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. 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 the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
