Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file lib/eventbrite_sdk. To experiment with that code, run bin/console for an interactive prompt.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'eventbrite_sdk'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install eventbrite_sdk

Usage

The library needs to be configured with your account's personal OAuth token which is available in your [App Management][app management] page. Assign it's value to EventbriteSDK.token and the library will send it along automatically with every request.

Basic usage for creating/retrieving/updating/publishing an event:


EventbriteSDK.token = "TOKEN"

# create an event draft
your_event = EventbriteSDK::Event.build('name.html' => 'Event Name', 'start.utc' => '2018-01-31T13:00:00Z', 'start.timezone' => 'America/Los_Angeles', 'end.utc' => '2018-02-01T13:00:00Z', 'end.timezone' => 'America/Los_Angeles', 'currency' => 'USD')

your_event.save
# => true

# retrieve your event
your_event

# retrieve one field on the object
your_event.id

# retrieve any event by id
EventbriteSDK::Event.retrieve(id: 20955468370)

# update the event
your_event.assign_attributes('name.html' => 'A new name', 'description.html' => 'A new description')

your_event.save
# =>true

# add ticket classes to the event
event_ticket = EventbriteSDK::TicketClass.new(event_id: your_event.id)
event_ticket.assign_attributes('name'=>'Ticket Name', 'cost'=>'USD,3400', 'quantity_total'=>'378')

event_ticket.save

# to see if the event is 'dirty' (i.e. has unsaved changes)
your_event.changed?
# =>true

# save the changes
your_event.save

# publish the event
your_event.publish

Navigating paginated responses:


EventbriteSDK.token = "TOKEN"

# one feature of the Eventbrite API is that you can pass in the string 'me' in place of a 
# user id and it will evaluate to the id of the user associated with the oauth token.

# fetch a new user record using the Eventbrite user id
user = EventbriteSDK::User.retrieve(id: 163054428874)

# get one page of your events
events = user.owned_events.page(2)

# not providing a page number will default to page one
events = user.owned_events.page(1) => events = user.owned_events

# events is now an enumerable object that you can access using bracket notation or first/last
events.first => events[0]
events.last => events[-1]

Construct endpoint paths:


EventbriteSDK.token = "TOKEN"

# access this endpoint www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/events/:id/ticket_classes/:id/
ticket = EventbriteSDK::TicketClass.retrieve(event_id: 20928651159, id: 43892783)

Use expansions


EventbriteSDK.token = "TOKEN"

# get an order with attendees expanded

order = EventbriteSDK::Order.retrieve(id: id, expand: [:attendees])

# include multiple expansions in one request

order = EventbriteSDK::Order.retrieve(id: id, expand: [:attendees, :event])

Per-request Configuration

For apps that need to use multiple tokens during the lifetime of a process, it is possible to set a per-request token:


# Retrieving

EventbriteSDK::Order.retrieve(
  id: id,
  api_token: YOUR_REQUEST_TOKEN
)

# Retrieving lists

events = EventbriteSDK::User.me.owned_events.page(1, api_token: YOUR_REQUEST_TOKEN)

events.next_page(api_token: YOUR_REQUEST_TOKEN)

# Saving/Deleting

event.save(api_token: YOUR_REQUEST_TOKEN)

order.delete(api_token: YOUR_REQUEST_TOKEN)

If you forget to provide the api_token key and EventbriteSDK.token is set, the request will fall-back on the global token for the action called.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
