Getting Started with APIMATIC Calculator
Introduction
Simple calculator API hosted on APIMATIC
Install the Package
Install the gem from the command line:
gem install cli-sdk -v 1.0.0
Or add the gem to your Gemfile and run bundle:
gem 'cli-sdk', '1.0.0'
For additional gem details, see the RubyGems page for the cli-sdk gem.
IRB Console Usage
You can explore the SDK interactively using IRB in two ways
1. Use IRB with Installed Gem
Open your system terminal (Command Prompt, Git Bash or macOS Terminal) and type the following command to start the irb console.
irb
Now you can load the SDK in the IRB
require 'apimatic_calculator'
include ApimaticCalculator
2. Use IRB within SDK
Open your system terminal (Command Prompt, Git Bash or macOS Terminal) and navigate to the root folder of SDK.
cd path/to/apimatic_calculator
Now you can start the preconfigured irb console by running the following command
ruby bin/console
Note: This automatically loads the SDK from lib/
