Sage One

Faraday-based Ruby wrapper for the Sage One API

Add sage_one gem to your Gemfile

gem 'sage_one'

http://rdoc.info/gems/sage_one

This documentation assumes you have already obtained a client id and client secret from Sage.

To make any requests to the Sage One API, you must present an OAuth access token. The basic flow for obtaining a token for a user is as follows:

# The code below is over-simplified. Read Sage's own API docs and the documentation for SageOne::Oauth to get
# a better idea of how to implement this in the context of your own app.
SageOne.configure do |c|
  c.client_id     = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID_OBTAINED_FROM_SAGE"
  c.client_secret = "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET_OBTAINED_FROM_SAGE"
end

# Redirect the current user to SageOne. This will give them the choice to link SageOne with your app.
# and subsequently redirect them back to your callback_url with an authorisation_code if they choose to do so.
redirect_to SageOne.authorize_url('https://www.example.com/your_callback_url')

# Then, in the callback URL controller, run get_access_token, i.e.
response = SageOne.get_access_token(params[:code], 'https://www.example.com/your_callback_url')
User.save_access_token(response.access_token) unless response.access_token.nil?

Once you have an access token, configure the client with it, along with your client id and secret, and you're good to go:

SageOne.configure do |c|
  c.client_id     = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID_OBTAINED_FROM_SAGE"
  c.client_secret = "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET_OBTAINED_FROM_SAGE"
  c.access_token  = current_user.access_token
end

# Get an array of all sales invoices
invoices = SageOne.sales_invoices

# Add search params
SageOne.sales_invoices(status: 2, contact: 65489)

# Dates in search params...
# The SageOne API requires that you specify dates as dd/mm/yyyy
SageOne.sales_invoices(from_date: '21/11/2011')

# We simplify this by also allowing you to specify a date-like object (anything that responds to strftime)
SageOne.sales_invoices(from_date: 2.weeks.ago)  #rails

# Note that we can't protect you from doing the wrong thing with ambiguous dates..
SageOne.sales_invoices(from_date: '05/01/2012') # Hope that you meant 5th January and not 1st May

You can configure the SageOne client on the fly. For example, if you'd prefer to configure your client_id and secret in an initializer then set the access_token in a controller:

SageOne.new(access_token: current_user.access_token).sales_invoices

You can request any 'page' of results returned from the API by adding start_index: n to any API call:

SageOne.sales_invoices(start_index: 30)
SageOne.sales_invoices(start_date: '28/02/2010', start_index: 50)

You can also turn on 'auto traversal' to have the client recursively get a full result set. Beware of using this on large result sets.

# Recursively request ALL sales invoices, appending them to the body of the request
SageOne.new(auto_traversal: true).sales_invoices

• HTTP 1.1 requires that you set a Host: header. Whilst the gem will currently work fine without this, if conformance to the spec is important to you, set this with request_host=
• You can set a proxy server with proxy=
• To obtain raw, unprocessed responses back from the API, specify raw_responses = true. Read the documentation for more information on this.

We actively encourage contributions to this gem. Whilst we have provided a robust, tested, documented, full-featured core of an wrapper for this new API, we have to balance our time spent on this gem against the day job. Therefore, if there are API endpoints we haven't covered yet, please fork us, add tests, documentation and coverage, and submit a pull request.

1. Fork the repository.
2. Create a topic branch.
3. Add specs for your unimplemented feature or bug fix.
4. Run bundle exec rake spec. If your specs pass, return to step 3.
5. Implement your feature or bug fix.
6. Run bundle exec rake spec. If your specs fail, return to step 5.
7. Run open coverage/index.html. If your changes are not completely covered by your tests, return to step 3.
8. Add documentation for your feature or bug fix.
9. Run bundle exec rake doc:yard. If your changes are not 100% documented, go back to step 8.
10. Add, commit, and push your changes.
