In this repo, you can expect to find some examples of how to interact with Spree's API.

All examples use the Faraday and httpclient gems, as these provide (imo) the best Ruby HTTP API available. Your mileage may vary if you choose to use other gems.

There are not that many examples at the moment. This will change, over time. You can help it change by submitting pull requests to this repo.

Sure they do!

There's a catch, though: you have to run them against a sample store setup using Spree's sample data. You can set one up by installing Spree and then running these commands:

bundle exec rake db:reset spree_sample:load AUTO_ACCEPT=1

Which is the equivalant of running:

bundle exec rake db:drop
bundle exec rake db:create
bundle exec rake db:migrate
bundle exec rake db:seed AUTO_ACCEPT=1
bundle exec rake spree_sample:load --trace

These commands (of course) will kill everything you know and love in your database. If you don't care about the data in your database, run them.

These commands will give you most of what you need. One final thing:

rails console
Spree::User.first.update_column(:spree_api_key, 'fake')

Now you're ready to run the tests and be MEGA SUCCESSFUL.

You can run them in two ways:

ruby test.rb # this will run them all
ruby examples/checkout/walkthrough.rb # this will run just the one

In order to run guest examples that don't require an API key you must disable API authentication in config/initializers/spree.rb:

Spree::Api::Config[:requires_authentication] = false

Do whatever you want with the source code.
