Billplz

An abstraction library to interface with the Billplz API

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'billplz'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install billplz

Configuration

You may store your Billplz configuration during initialization:

# config/initializers/billplz.rb
Billplz.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = ENV['BILLPLZ_API_KEY']
end

All the options above can be overridden during runtime:

Billplz.configuration.api_key = 'your-api-key'

Or, as a hash:

Billplz.configuration = { api_key: 'your-api-key' }

Collection

Create a new collection:

collection = Billplz::Collection.new({ title: 'My awesome collection' })
collection.create

Bill

Create a new bill:

bill = Billplz::Bill.new({ collection_id: VALID_COLLECTION_ID, ... })
bill.create

Get a bill:

bill = Billplz::Bill.new({ bill_id: 'abc123'})
bill = bill.get

# state (due, overdue and paid)
bill['state']

# paid (return false for due and overdue bill; true for paid bill)
bill['paid']

Delete a bill:

bill = Billplz::Bill.new({ bill_id: 'abc123'})
bill.delete

Response

Standard Net::HTTP response will be returned by all of the above methods. However, the gem packed a few helper methods to make your life easier:

1. #success?

You can check for a successfull request using success?, example:

bill.success?

2. #parsed_json

A convenient helper to parse the JSON response from the API, example:

bill_id = bill.parsed_json['id']

Run rake test to run the unit tests.

Running rake test:remote will run tests that perform actual communication with the API server. Proceed with caution.
