Chute API V2 wrapper gem

Access Chute API V2 from Ruby.

How to use

Install directly

gem install chute

or add to your Gemfile

gem 'chute'

Configuration

Create config/initializers/chute.rb and set your credentials (you can get them from apps.getchute.com.

Chute.configure do |config|
  config.app_id = YOUR_APP_ID
  config.app_secret = YOUR_APP_SECRET
  config.access_token = YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
end

Usage

The parameters in the response are accessed as standard fields inside a class. Assuming response is the basic object containing the complete response you can access the id of an element by

response.data.id # if data is a single object
response.data[0].id # if data is an array

Development

To build and install the gem locally on your system use:

rake install

you can afterwards include it inside your rails app

Tests

To be able to run tests you'll first need to create an authorization file with the following contents and save it as spec/support/authorization.rb

shared_context "init credentials" do
  before(:all) do
    Chute.app_id = "508fc620018d162a070000d6"  # this is an app designated for API testing
    Chute.app_secret = "2ee285c24d8ffa83145aba8834f29ca1644b293a76a49db59a037e7301a26119"
    Chute.access_token = "fe5d08d828c1d4562e5d2a7bbbb76e7dfa1fbc0932467a7a710bec66935df654"
  end
end

Now you can run tests using rspec

bundle exec rspec

Responses are recorded for reuse by VCR. If you need to re-run some of them remove the specific file from spec/fixtures/
