Attune

A client for the Attune ranking API. Built using the excellent faraday library.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'attune'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

Example rails usage

Requests are performed through a client object

client = Attune::Client.new

Visitors to the application should be tagged with an anonymous user id

class ApplicationController
  before_filter do
    session[:attune_id] ||= attune_client.anonymous.create.id
  end

  private
  def attune_client
    @attune_client ||= Attune.client
  end
end

The user id can be bound to a customer id at login

class SessionsController
  # ...

  def create
    # ...
    attune_customer = Attune::Model::Customer.new(customer: current_user.id)
    attune_client.anonymous.update(session[:attune_id], attune_customer)
  end
end

The client can then perform rankings

class ProductsController
  def index
    @products = sorted(Product.all)
  end

  private
  def sorted products
    ranking_params = Attune::Model::RankingParams.new
    ranking_params.anonymous = session[:attune_id]
    ranking_params.view = request.fullpath
    ranking_params.entity_type = 'products'
    ranking_params.user_agent = request.env["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]
    ranking_params.ids = products.map(&:id)
    scope = Attune::Model::ScopeEntry.new
    scope.name = 'category'
    scope.value = 'pants'
    ranking_params.scope = [scope]
    ranking = attune_client.entities.get_rankings(ranking_params)
    products.sort_by do |product|
      ranking.ranking.index(product.id.to_s)
    end
  end
end

The client provides a way to request a new auth_token through the API

client = Attune::Client.new
auth_token = client.get_auth_token('my-client-id', 'my-client-secret')

Also see Blacklist examples for examples of our blacklist API.

Configuration

Attune can be configured globally

Attune.configure do |c|
  c.auth_token = "my-secure-auth-token"
  c.endpoint = "http://example.com/"
  c.timeout  = 5
end

Settings can also be overridden on a client object

client = Attune::Client.new(auth_token: "my-secure-auth-token", timeout: 2)

See the documentation for Attune::Configurable and the default configuration for more details.

Debugging

How to identify attune vs control in the browser?

You can identify the cell assignment by fetching the data in the below variable
    # @attr [String] cell Cell assignment

Testing

For testing and development, the ranking API can be simulated using.

Attune.test_mode!

In this mode no API calls will be made, and rankings will be returned in their original order. Calling .test_mode! is equivalent to setting disabled to true and exception_handler to :mock.
