quaderno-ruby

Quaderno-ruby is a ruby wrapper for [Quaderno API] (https://github.com/quaderno/quaderno-api).

Current version is 2.1.1 See the changelog here

Installation & Configuration

To install add the following to your Gemfile:

  gem 'quaderno', require: 'quaderno-ruby'

To configure just add this to your initializers

  Quaderno::Base.configure do |config|
    config.auth_token = 'my_authenticate_token'
    config.url = 'https://my_subdomain.quadernoapp.com/api/'
    config.api_version = API_VERSION # Optional, defaults to the API version set in your account
    config.user_agent_header = 'my custom user agent' # Optional, will make support for your account more efficient if you are doing oauth integrations
  end

1.7.1 Breaking changes: If you are using a configuration based on versions < '1.7.1', you will notice that the old configuration no longer works, so please update your configuration or specify the 1.7.0 version.

Get authorization data

You can get your account subdomain by grabbing it from your account url or by calling the authorization method with your personal api token.

  response = Quaderno::Base.authorization 'my_authenticate_token', environment #=> Quaderno::Base
  response.identity # => {"id"=>737000, "name"=>"Walter White", "email"=>"cooking@br.bd", "href"=>"https://my_subdomain.quadernoapp.com/api/"}

environment is an optional argument. By passing :sandbox, you will retrieve your credentials for the sandbox environment and not for production.

This will return a hash with the information about your api url, which includes the account subdomain.

Ping the service

You can ping the service in order to check if it is up with:

  response = Quaderno::Base.ping #=> Quaderno::Base

  response.status #=> Boolean

This will return status: true if the service is up or status: false if it is not.

Check the rate limit

  response = Quaderno::Base.ping #=> Quaderno::Base
  response.rate_limit_info #=>  { :reset=> 4, :remaining=> 0 }

This will return a hash with information about the seconds until the rate limit reset and your remaining requests per minute (check the API documentation for more information).

You can also check the rate limit for each request by checking the rate_limit_info method on the response:

  invoices = Quaderno::Invoice.all #=> Quaderno::Collection
  invoices.rate_limit_info #=> {:reset=> 5, :remaning=>6}

  invoice = Quaderno::Invoice.find INVOICE_ID #=> Quaderno::Invoice
  invoice.rate_limit_info #=> {:reset=>4, :remaining=>5}

  result = invoice.deliver #=> Quaderno::Base
  result.rate_limit_info #=> {:reset=>3, :remaining=>4}

  begin
    deleted_invoice = Quaderno::Invoice.delete(ANOTHER_INVOICE_ID) #=> Quaderno::Invoice
  rescue Quaderno::Exceptions::InvalidSubdomainOrToken => e
    # If the exception is triggered you can check the rate limit on the raised exception
    e.rate_limit_info #=> {:reset=>2, :remaining=>3}
  end

  deleted_invoice.rate_limit_info #=> {:reset=>2, :remaining=>3}

  # etc.

Reading the values

Quaderno-ruby parses all the json responses in human readable data, so you can access each value just like this:

  contact.id
  invoice.items
  estimates.payments
  etc.

Exceptions

Quaderno-ruby exceptions raise depending on the type of error:

  Quaderno::Exceptions::UnsupportedApiVersion # Raised when the API version set is not supported.

  Quaderno::Exceptions::InvalidSubdomainOrToken # Raised when the credentials are wrong, missing or do not match the permission for some object.

  Quaderno::Exceptions::InvalidID # Raised when the requested resource by ID does not exist in the account context.

  Quaderno::Exceptions::ThrottleLimitExceeded # Raised when the throttle limit is exceeded.

  Quaderno::Exceptions::RateLimitExceeded # Raised when the rate limit is exceeded.

  Quaderno::Exceptions::HasAssociatedDocuments # Raised when trying to delete a contact with associated documents.

  Quaderno::Exceptions::RequiredFieldsEmptyOrInvalid # Raised if the format of the request is right but some validations failed. You can JSON parse the exception message to get which field triggered the exception. For example: '{"errors":{"vat_number":["is not a valid German vat number"]}}'

  Quaderno::Exceptions::ServerError # Raised when Quaderno returns an HTTP response code of the 50X family. Try again later or contact support if the issue persists

All those exceptions inherit from Quaderno::Exceptions::BaseException.

Pagination information

Whenever you call the all method on one of the classes, the result will be a Quaderno::Collection. For example:

collection = Quaderno::Contact.all

collection.class #=> Quaderno::Collection
collection.has_more? #=> true
collection.next_page #=> another instance of

The next_page method is an abstraction for the created_before parameter, which you may also use with the all method.

collection = Quaderno::Contact.all

Quaderno::Contact.all(created_before: collection.last.id)

You can also use the limit parameter to determine how many results to retrieve. Its default is 25, and Quaderno will cap the limit at 100.

collection = Quaderno::Contact.all(limit: 50)

collection.length #=> 50

Thread-safe configuration

If you are managing multiple accounts you may need a thread-safe way to configure the credentials. You can do it by passing the credentials on each request:

Quaderno::Invoice.all(
  api_url: 'https://my_subdomain.quadernoapp.com/api/',
  auth_token: 'my_authenticate_token'
)

Quaderno::Invoice.find(INVOICE_ID,
  api_url: 'https://my_subdomain.quadernoapp.com/api/',
  auth_token: 'my_authenticate_token'
)

Quaderno::Invoice.update(INVOICE_ID,
  po_number: '12345',
  api_url: 'https://my_subdomain.quadernoapp.com/api/',
  auth_token: 'my_authenticate_token'
)

invoice = Quaderno::Invoice.find(INVOICE_ID,
  api_url: 'https://my_subdomain.quadernoapp.com/api/',
  auth_token: 'my_authenticate_token'
)

invoice.add_payment(params) # Credentials are already stored on the Quaderno::Invoice instance from the first request

invoice = Quaderno::Invoice.find(INVOICE_ID,
  api_url: 'https://my_subdomain.quadernoapp.com/api/',
  auth_token: 'my_authenticate_token'
)
invoice.remove_payment(PAYMENT_ID) # Credentials are already stored on the Quaderno::Invoice instance from the first request

Quaderno::Invoice.delete(INVOICE_ID,
  api_url: 'https://my_subdomain.quadernoapp.com/api/',
  auth_token: 'my_authenticate_token'
)
