evvnt

Provides a Ruby wrapper around the evvnt APIs

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'evvnt'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install evvnt

Before you begin, you'll need to obtain an API key and secret from evvnt. Once you have that in place, include these in your gem configuration.

To configure the gem, create an initializer and define the following block:

# config/initializers/evvnt.rb
Evvnt.configure do |config|
  config.environment = Rails.env.production? ? :live : :sandbox
  # Print out useful logger info to the Rails log
  config.logger     = Rails.logger
  config.debug      = Rails.env.development?
  # Your API key and secret
  config.api_key    = "..."
  config.api_secret = "secret"
end

This gem provides an equivalent endpoint for each of the endpoints on the evvnt API. It follows a familiar, idomatic rails pattern to create, fetch, and, update records.

For example:

# => Returns all of the categories from the API as an Evvnt::Category object
@categories = Evvnt::Category.all

# The same as the above, aliased
@categories = Evvnt::Category.index

# Returns the first Category
@category = Evvnt::Category.first
@category.name # => "Academic / Learning"

# Fetch one event from the API
@event = Evvnt::Event.find("....")

# The same as above, aliased
@event = Evvnt::Event.show("....")

# Returns the last Category
@category = Evvnt::Category.last
@category.name # => "Alternative Investment"

# Create a User on the API
@user = Evvnt::User.create(name: "Sarah Connor", email: "sarah@example.com")

# Grab the last User from the API and update their email address:
@user = Evvnt::User.last
@user.email = "newemail@example.com"
@user.save
