GeostellarClient

This is a Ruby wrapper for the Geostellar API. You will need an API key to use this gem.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'geostellar_client'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install geostellar_client

Usage

Configure the client with your API key:

GeostellarClient.api_key = YOURAPIKEY

User

A user has the following attributes:

id, Integer
email, String
phone, String
first_name, String
last_name, String
street_address_1, String
street_address_2, String
city, String
state, String
zip_code, String
password, String

password is only used internally when talking to the user creation API. The User object returned by User#create has a password value of nil.

To fetch a user:

user = GeostellarClient::User.find(1)

To create a user:

attributes = {
  email: '[email protected]',
  password: 'password',
  phone: '123456789',
  first_name: 'Foo',
  last_name: 'Bar',
  street_address_1: '1 Street',
  street_address_2: 'Address',
  city: 'The City',
  state: 'OR',
  zip_code: '12345',
}

user = GeostellarClient::User.create(attributes)

When successful this returns a User object. Otherwise a GeostellarClient::UserCreationError is raised, with the message returned by the API.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Rename spec/credentials.yml.sample to spec/credentials.yml and replace the dummy API key with your own.

Then, run rake rspec 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.
