Core::Client

Core::Client is a Ruby gem for the Core API.

It includes read-only access for both API versions (v1 and v2) of the following resources:

  • Product
  • Project
  • Role
  • Project Role
  • User
  • Product Allocation
  • Product Assignment
  • Project Allocation

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'core-client'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install core-client

Usage

To use the Core API you need a token, which can be request via Slack in the #core channel. This token needs to be set in an ENV variable called CORE_API_TOKEN. Core::Client will automatically use that ENV variable to sign all the requests sent through the gem.

To use a different Core environment, you need to set the CORE_API_URL variable. Core::Client will automatically sent all the requests to the value in that ENV variable.

Both versions (v1 and v2) share similar methods to access the resources:

  • .all returns an array of resources
  • .first returns the first element of .all
  • .last returns the last element of .all
  • .count returns the size of .all
  • .find(id) returns the resource identified by id. This method is available on all the v2 resources, and only in Project and User for v1.

V1

Core v1 API resources are available through the Core::Client::V1 namespace. For example:

user = Core::Client::V1::User.find(1)
#=> #<Core::Client::V1::User id=1, roleId=2, managerId=nil, email="[email protected]", fullName="Mike Potter", firstName="Michael", preferredName="Mike", lastName="Potter", title="CEO", avatarUrl="https://able.bamboohr.com/employees/photos/?h=8dbba2f5a71161a6e01e411edb655ac3">

user.fullName
#=> "Mike Potter"

For more usage examples, check the specs.

V2

Core v2 API resources are available through the Core::Client::V2 namespace. For example:

Core::Client::V2::User.find(1)
#=> #<Core::Client::V2::User:@attributes={"type"=>"users", "id"=>"1", "fullName"=>"Mike Potter", "preferredName"=>"Mike", "firstName"=>"Michael", "avatarUrl"=>"https://able.bamboohr.com/employees/photos/?h=8dbba2f5a71161a6e01e411edb655ac3", "active"=>true, "isManager"=>true, "email"=>"[email protected]"}>

user.fullName
#=> "Mike Potter"

Core::Client::V2 resources use JsonApiClient behind the scenes, so any feature from JsonApiClient can be used in Core::Client::V2. For example:

project = Core::Client::V2::Project.includes(:product).where(product_id: 1).first
project.product.id
#=> "1"

For more usage examples, check the specs.

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.
