Simpal
A simple, lightweight wrapper around PayPal's REST API.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'simpal'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install simpal
Usage
First, create a client ID and secret from the Applications page of your PayPal account dashboard.
Then, create a client which uses these credentials:
Simpal.client = Simpal::Client.new(
client_id: 'CLIENT_ID',
client_secret: 'CLIENT_SECRET',
sandbox: true
)
The value of Simpal.client is to make requests, unless the client attribute is specified on a per-request basis. The sandbox attribute defaults to false if omitted.
Once the client has been setup, it's easy to retrieve an order:
Simpal::Order.retrieve('ORDER_ID')
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 the created tag, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
