Vend::Ruby::V2

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'vend-ruby-v2'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install vend-ruby-v2

Usage

For full examples of using the API client, please see the examples folder and refer to Vend developer documentation.

Example:

# Configure the client to talk to a given store
Vend.configure do |config|
  config.domain_prefix = ENV['VEND_DOMAIN_PREFIX']
  config.access_token = ENV['VEND_ACCESS_TOKEN']
end

# Make an API request for a given resource
Vend::Customer.all
=> {:data=>
    [{:id=>"0afa8de1-1450-11e7-edec-9df1c629417c",
      :customer_code=>"WALKIN",
      ...

Thread Safety

The Vend.configure method is NOT thread-safe. This mechanism is designed for applications or CLI's (command-line interfaces) where thread safety is not a concern. If you need to guarantee thread safety, we support this alternative mechanism to make thread-safe API requests:

Rather then setting up a single connection for all API requests, you would construct a new connection for each thread. If you can ensure that each of these connections is stored in a thread-safe manner, you can pass the connection as you query the resource.

connection = Vend::Connection.build(
  Vend::Config.new(
    config.domain_prefix = ENV['VEND_DOMAIN_PREFIX'],
    config.access_token = ENV['VEND_ACCESS_TOKEN']
  )
)
=> #<Faraday::Connection:0x007fbf95068978 ... >>

Vend::Customer.all
=> {:data=>
    [{:id=>"0afa8de1-1450-11e7-edec-9df1c629417c",
      :customer_code=>"WALKIN",
      ...
