Luminate

This gem provides Ruby bindings for the Luminate Online Server APIs.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'luminate'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install luminate

Usage

Require the gem (or let bundler do it for you) and configure as follows:

require 'luminate'
Luminate.configure do |config|
  config.url          = 'https://secure3.convio.net'
  config.organization = 'your-organization'
  config.api_key      = 'your-api-key'
  config.    = 'your-api-login-name'
  config.api_password = 'your-api-password'
end

The URL is typically https://secure2.convio.net or https://secure3.convio.net. The organization is the short name Convio uses to identify you. Both of these can be extracted from the URL of your Admin panel:

https://secure2.convio.net/<organization>/admin...

You will need to configure the API key, login name, and password in the Admin. Some endpoints are disabled by default, so be sure to check the documentation.

The bindings are implemented as class level methods with one class per API. The method names are underscorized version of Luminate's names.

To test your settings try the Constituent isEmailValid method (which simply checks the pattern of an email for validity):

constituent = Luminate::Constituent
response = constituent.is_email_valid(email: '[email protected]')
 => {"isEmailValidResponse"=>{"valid"=>"true"}}

The response value is a Map, a hash-like object that also provides methods to access the values.

response['isEmailValidResponse']
 => {"valid"=>"true"}
 response.isEmailValidResponse
 => {"valid"=>"true"}
 response.isEmailValidResponse.valid
 => "true"

Currently implemented methods

Contributing

This is version 0.1.0, I have only implement endpoints I'm actually using and have (manually) tested. Since the interface is simple and consistent, endpoints can be implement with a bit of meta-programming. Luminate::Base provides a helper method, def_endpoints to do this. It takes the API's Server Servlet name and the list of methods. See lib/luminate/constituent.rb for an example.
