Namely

The Namely gem wraps the Namely HTTP API, allowing you to manipulate your account through Ruby.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "namely"

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install namely

Establishing a connection

First, you'll need to create a connection to your Namely account using your access token and subdomain.

namely = Namely::Connection.new(
  access_token: "your_access_token",
  subdomain: "your-organization",
)

An access token can be obtained through your organization's Namely account.

Namely associates a subdomain with your organization. For example, if your account is at http://your-organization.namely.com/, your subdomain would be "your-organization".

Configuration

You can override default configuration using Namely.configuration like:

Namely.configuration do |config|

  # While returning paged results, which http codes should be rescued and
  # retried? Defaults to none.
  config.http_codes_to_retry = [504] # gateway timeout

  # The number of times to retry the requests rescued above. Default is 0
  config.retries = 2
end

Usage Examples

Once you've created a connection you can use it to access your data.

namely.countries.all.each do |country|
  puts "#{country.id} - #{country.name}"
end
# AF - Afghanistan
# AL - Albania
# DZ - Algeria
# AS - American Samoa
# ...

if namely.countries.exists?("BE")
  "Belgium exists!"
else
  "Hmm."
end # => "Belgium exists!"

namely.countries.find("BE")
# => <Namely::Model id="BE", name="Belgium", subdivision_type="Province", links={"subdivisions"=>[{"id"=>"BRU", "name"=>"Brussels"}, {"id"=>"VAN", "name"=>"Antwerpen (nl)"}, {"id"=>"VBR", "name"=>"Vlaams Brabant (nl)"}, {"id"=>"VLI", "name"=>"Limburg (nl)"}, {"id"=>"VOV", "name"=>"Oost-Vlaanderen (nl)"}, {"id"=>"VWV", "name"=>"West-Vlaanderen (nl)"}, {"id"=>"WBR", "name"=>"Brabant Wallon (fr)"}, {"id"=>"WHT", "name"=>"Hainaut (fr)"}, {"id"=>"WLG", "name"=>"Liège (fr)"}, {"id"=>"WLX", "name"=>"Luxembourg (fr)"}, {"id"=>"WNA", "name"=>"Namur (fr)"}]}>

foo_bar = namely.profiles.create!(
  first_name: "Dade",
  last_name: "Murphy",
  email: "[email protected]"
)

foo_bar.id # => "37c919e2-f1c8-4beb-b1d4-a9a36ccc830c"

Wanna help out? Great! Here are a few resources that might help you started:

Documentation on Namely's HTTP API
Namely tries to stick to the JSON API standard. If we're seriously deviating from it, that may well be a bug.

Setting up a development environment

After you have cloned this repo, run this setup script to set up your machine with the necessary dependencies to run and test this app:

% ./bin/setup

The Namely gem uses dotenv to manage environment variables. Visit the .env file and change a plug in appropriate values:

TEST_ACCESS_TOKEN=my-sample-access-token
TEST_SUBDOMAIN=my-sample-subdomain

You'll need admin access to a Namely site to get tokens for these variables. You can create application and permanent tokens on the API page of the site.
