Ruminant
Aiming to make the moo API almost as easy to use for developers as the moo.com site itself.
Installation
If you’ve never installed a gem from github before - enter the following and you will eternally be graced by a thousand minds: gem sources -a gems.github.com
Then you can install this like any other gem: gem install infovore-ruminant
Usage
All parameters are done in an ActiveRecord attributes style, i.e. they can be passed into new() as a hash, and are all attr-accessors. Note that product objects do not have attributes that are not impossible for that product, and that a Sticker will raise an error if you try to give it text.
Making an order: require ‘rubygems’ require ‘moo’ order = Moo::Order.new(:api_key => “your api key”)
Adding a product: moocard = Moo::MiniCard.new(:url => “farm…”) order.designs << moocard
Adding text moocard.text = “This is line 1 n This is line 2” moocard.line(1) #=> This is line 1 moocard.line(1).bold = true moocard.line(1).align = “right” moocard.line(1).font = “modern” moocard.line(1).colour = “#444444” moocard.bold = true # sets bold=true on all lines
Submitting to moo: order.to_xml # Gives you the generated xml if you want to manually submit it order.submit if order.error? order.error_string else order.start_url end
Current Limitations
Currently I only support MiniCards and Stickers, but have made it incredibly easy to add the other supported products. I haven’t yet, as I do not have a personal need, so don’t feel I can test it. If you have such a need, do let me know, as we can add it.
Manual Cropping is not currently supported for the same reason.
Please please please do feel to give feedback and/or submit patches. I want this library to be as helpful as possible, but can only do that if I know what you want.
