Getting started
Calculator API built with APIMATIC
How to Build
This client library is a Ruby gem which can be compiled and used in your Ruby and Ruby on Rails project. This library requires a few gems from the RubyGems repository.
- Open the command line interface or the terminal and navigate to the folder containing the source code.
- Run
gem build apimatic_testing_calculator.gemspec
to build the gem. - Once built, the gem can be installed on the current work environment using
gem install apimatic_testing_calculator-1.0.0.gem
How to Use
The following section explains how to use the ApimaticTestingCalculator Ruby Gem in a new Rails project using RubyMine™. The basic workflow presented here is also applicable if you prefer using a different editor or IDE.
1. Starting a new project
Close any existing projects in RubyMine™ by selecting File -> Close Project
. Next, click on Create New Project
to create a new project from scratch.
Next, provide TestApp
as the project name, choose Rails Application
as the project type, and click OK
.
In the next dialog make sure that correct Ruby SDK is being used (minimum 2.0.0) and click OK
.
This will create a new Rails Application project with an existing set of files and folder.
2. Add reference of the gem
In order to use the ApimaticTestingCalculator gem in the new project we must add a gem reference. Locate the Gemfile
in the Project Explorer window under the TestApp
project node. The file contains references to all gems being used in the project. Here, add the reference to the library gem by adding the following line: gem 'apimatic_testing_calculator', '~> 1.0.0'
3. Adding a new Rails Controller
Once the TestApp
project is created, a folder named controllers
will be visible in the Project Explorer under the following path: TestApp > app > controllers
. Right click on this folder and select New -> Run Rails Generator...
.
Selecting the said option will popup a small window where the generator names are displayed. Here, select the controller
template.
Next, a popup window will ask you for a Controller name and included Actions. For controller name provide Hello
and include an action named Index
and click OK
.
A new controller class anmed HelloController
will be created in a file named hello_controller.rb
containing a method named Index
. In this method, add code for initialization and a sample for its usage.
How to Test
You can test the generated SDK and the server with automatically generated test
cases as follows:
- From terminal/cmd navigate to the root directory of the SDK.
- Invoke:
bundle exec rake
Initialization
API client can be initialized as following.
client = ApimaticTestingCalculator::ApimaticTestingCalculatorClient.new
The added initlization code can be debugged by putting a breakpoint in the Index
method and running the project in debug mode by selecting Run -> Debug 'Development: TestApp'
.
