Overview

QuickBase Client: Ruby wrapper class for QuickBase HTTP API. The class’s method and member variable names correspond closely to the QuickBase HTTP API reference. This class was written using ruby 1.8.6. It is strongly recommended that you use ruby 1.9.2 or higher. Use REXML to process any QuickBase response XML not handled by this class. The main work of this class is done in initialize(), sendRequest(), and processResponse(). The API_ wrapper methods just set things up for sendRequest() and put values from the response into member variables.

Constructor Details

#initialize(username = nil, password = nil, appname = nil, useSSL = true, printRequestsAndResponses = false, stopOnError = false, showTrace = false, org = "www", apptoken = nil, debugHTTPConnection = false, domain = "quickbase", proxy_options = nil) ⇒ Client

Set printRequestsAndResponses to true to view the XML sent to QuickBase and return from QuickBase. This can be very useful during debugging.

Set stopOnError to true to discontinue sending requests to QuickBase after an error has occured with a request. Set showTrace to true to view the complete stack trace of your running program. This should only be necessary as a last resort when a low-level exception has occurred.

To create an instance of QuickBase::Client using a Hash of options, use QuickBase::Client.init(options) instead of QuickBase::Client.new()

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(missing_method_name, *missing_method_args) ⇒ Object

Enables alternative syntax for processing data using id values or xml element names. E.g:

qbc.bcdcajmrh.qid_1.printChildElements(qbc.records)

  • prints the records returned by query 1 from table bcdcajmrh

puts qbc.bcdcajmrf.xml_desc

  • get the description from the bcdcajmrf application

puts qbc.dbid_8emtadvk.rid_24105.fid_6

  • print field 6 from record 24105 in table 8emtadvk

This method changes all the API_ wrapper methods to return ‘self’ instead of their normal return values. The change is in effect only within the associated block. This allows mutliple API_ calls to be ‘chained’ together without needing ‘qbClient’ in front of each call.

e.g. qbClient.chainAPIcallsBlock {

  qbClient
     .addField( @dbid, "a text field", "text" )
     .addField( @dbid, "a choice field", "text" )
     .fieldAddChoices( @dbid, @fid, %w{ one two three four five } )

Finds records with the same values in a specified list of fields and deletes all but the first or last duplicate record. The field list may be a list of field IDs or a list of field names. The ‘options’ parameter can be used to keep the oldest record instead of the newest record, and to control whether to ignore the case of field values when deciding which records are duplicates. Returns the number of records deleted.

#doSQLQuery(sqlString, returnOptions = nil) ⇒ Object

Translate a simple SQL SELECT statement to a QuickBase query and run it.

If any supplied field names are numeric, they will be treated as QuickBase field IDs if
they aren't valid field names.

  • e.g. doSQLQuery( “SELECT FirstName,Salary FROM Contacts WHERE LastName = ”Doe“ ORDER BY FirstName )

  • e.g. doSQLQuery( “SELECT * FROM Books WHERE Author = ”Freud“ )

Note: This method is here primarily for Rails integration. Note: This assumes, like SQL, that your column (i.e. field) names do not contain spaces.

#getAllValuesForFields(dbid, fieldNames = nil, query = nil, qid = nil, qname = nil, clist = nil, slist = nil, fmt = "structured", options = nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: getRecordsHash

Get all the values for one or more fields from a specified table.

e.g. getAllValuesForFields( “dhnju5y7”, [ “Name”, “Phone” ] )

The results are returned in Hash, e.g. { “Name” => values[ “Name” ], “Phone” => values[ “Phone” ] } The parameters after ‘fieldNames’ are passed directly to the doQuery() API_ call.

Invalid 'fieldNames' will be treated as field IDs by default,  e.g. getAllValuesForFields( "dhnju5y7", [ "3" ] ) 
returns a list of Record ID#s even if the 'Record ID#' field name has been changed.

#importSVFile(filename, fieldSeparator = ",", dbid = @dbid, targetFieldNames = nil, validateLines = true) ⇒ Object

Add records from lines in a separated values text file, using a specified field name/value separator.

e.g. importSVFile( “contacts.txt”, “::”, “dhnju5y7”, [ “Name”, “Phone”, “Email” ] )

If targetFieldNames is not specified, the first line in the file must be a list of field names that match the values in subsequent lines.

If there are no commas in any of the field names or values, the file will be treated as if it were a CSV file and imported using the QuickBase importFromCSV API call. Otherwise, records will be added using addRecord() for each line. Lines with the wrong number of fields will be skipped. Double-quoted fields can contain the field separator, e.g. f1,“f,2”,f3 Spaces will not be trimmed from the beginning or end of field values.

#iterateJoinRecords(tablesAndFields) ⇒ Object

Get records from two or more tables and/or queries with the same value in a ‘join’ field and loop through the joined results. The ‘joinfield’ does not have to have the same name in each table. Fields with the same name in each table will be merged, with the value from the last table being assigned. This is similar to an SQL JOIN.

#iterateRecords(dbid, fieldNames, query = nil, qid = nil, qname = nil, clist = nil, slist = nil, fmt = "structured", options = nil) ⇒ Object

Loop through records returned from a query. Each record is a field+value Hash. e.g. iterateRecords( “dhnju5y7”, [“Name”,“Address”] ) { |values| puts values, values }

#iterateSummaryRecords(dbid, fieldNames, query = nil, qid = nil, qname = nil, clist = nil, slist = nil, fmt = "structured", options = nil) {|summaryRecord| ... } ⇒ Object

(The QuickBase API does not supply a method for this.) Loop through summary records, like the records in a QuickBase Summary report. Fields with ‘Total’ and ‘Average’ checked in the target table will be summed and/or averaged. Other fields with duplicate values will be merged into a single ‘record’. The results will be sorted by the merged fields, in ascending order. e.g. -

iterateSummaryRecords( "vavaa4sdd", ["Customer", "Amount"] ) {|record| 
    puts "Customer: #{record['Customer']}, Amount #{record['Amount']}
}

would print the total Amount for each Customer, sorted by Customer.

Yields:

  • (summaryRecord)
