BookingSync Engine

This engine requires Rails >= 5.0.0 and Ruby >= 2.3.0.

API documentation is available at rdoc.info.

BookingSync Engine works with Rails 4.2 onwards and Ruby 2.2 onwards. To get started, add it to your Gemfile with:

gem 'bookingsync-engine'

Then bundle install:

bundle install

Then mount BookingSync Authorization routes inside routes.rb:

mount BookingSync::Engine => '/'

This will add the following routes:

• /auth/bookingsync/callback
• /auth/failure
• /signout

BookingSync Engine uses the Account model to authenticate each BookingSync Account, if you do not have an Account model yet, create one:

rails g model Account

Then, generate a migration to add OAuth fields for the Account class:

rails g migration AddOAuthFieldsToAccounts provider:string synced_id:integer:index \
  name:string oauth_access_token:string oauth_refresh_token:string \
  oauth_expires_at:string

and migrate:

rake db:migrate

Also include BookingSync::Engine::Models::Account in your Account model:

class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
  include BookingSync::Engine::Models::Account
end

Then, generate a migration to add OAuth fields for the Account class:

rails g migration AddOAuthFieldsToAccounts provider:string synced_id:integer:index \
  name:string oauth_access_token:string oauth_refresh_token:string \
  oauth_expires_at:string  host:string:uniq:index

Add manually null: false to the host field on the newly created migration file, then migrate:

rake db:migrate

Also include BookingSync::Engine::Models::MultiApplicationsAccount in your Account model:

class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
  include BookingSync::Engine::Models::MultiApplicationsAccount
end

You also need to create applications

rails g model Application

Then, generate a migration to add credentials fields for the Application class:

rails g migration AddCredentialsFieldsToApplications host:string:uniq:index client_id:text:uniq:index \
  client_secret:text:uniq:index

Add null: false to this 3 attributes, then migrate:

rake db:migrate

Also include BookingSync::Engine::Models::Application in your Application model:

class Application < ActiveRecord::Base
  include BookingSync::Engine::Models::Application
end

Activate the multi app mode in an initializer:

BookingSyncEngine.setup do |setup|
  setup.support_multi_applications = true
end

To make transition between the two modes on the fly, you can use different model name for your accounts.

For the following example:

class MySingleAppAccount < ActiveRecord::Base
  include BookingSync::Engine::Models::Account
end

class MyMultiAppAccount < ActiveRecord::Base
  include BookingSync::Engine::Models::MultiApplicationsAccount
end

You just need to define which model goes with which mode in an initializer.

BookingSyncEngine.setup do |setup|
  setup.single_app_model = -> { ::MySingleAppAccount }
  setup.multi_app_model = -> { ::MyMultiAppAccount }
end

The engine is configured by the following ENV variables:

• BOOKINGSYNC_URL - the url of the website, should be
• BOOKINGSYNC_APP_ID - BookingSync Application's Client ID
• BOOKINGSYNC_APP_SECRET - BookingSync Application's Client Secret
• BOOKINGSYNC_VERIFY_SSL - Verify SSL (available only in development or test). Default to false
• BOOKINGSYNC_SCOPE - Space separated list of required scopes. Defaults to nil, which means the public scope.

You might want to use dotenv-rails to make ENV variables management easy. See spec/dummy/.env.sample.

The engine is set up by default to work with Embedded app for the BookingSync app store. This means that the OAuth flow will redirect using javascript redirect to break out of the iframe.

Embedded apps will need to allow BookingSync to load them in an iframe.

This only has to be applied to the part of the application used in BookingSync

You can use the following helper in your controller to do just that:

after_action :allow_bookingsync_iframe

Standalone applications will be working outside of BookingSync website. While it's not the recommended approach, some applications can benefit from this.

To make your application standalone, you must set the standalone mode by adding the following code to an initializer:

BookingSync::Engine.standalone!

BookingSync Engine will create some helpers to use inside your controllers and views.

To set up a controller with BookingSync account authentication, just add this before_action:

before_action :authenticate_account!

It will make sure an account is authenticated (using OAuth2).

If the user is not currently authenticated, 3 responses can be expected:

By Ajax request, we consider them when the X-Requested-With header contains XMLHttpRequest.

In this case, the authorization path will be returned a plain text with a 401 Unauthorized status.

Embedded applications will be given a script tag forcing them to change their parent location to the authorization path. This is necessary so the authorization happens in the main window, not within an iFrame.

Standalone applications will simply be redirected to the authorization path.

To retrieve the current signed-in account, this helper is available:

current_account

You should make sure session cookies for you application have the secure flag. This will be done by Rails automatically if you have configured your environment with config.force_ssl = true. If not, you can change your session_store.rb initializer:

Rails.application.config.session_store :cookie_store,
  key: '_your-app_session', secure: true

We would love to see you contributing. Please, just follow the guidelines from https://github.com/BookingSync/contributing

By default, your tests will run against the Rails version used in the main Gemfile.lock, to test against all supported Rails version, please run the tests with Appraisals with: appraisal rake spec

You can choose to run PostgreSQL in a Docker container. At the moment, you should use Beta channel on a Mac - so you can reach the docker machine on localhost. It is possible to set it up with stable, but then you have to configure it another way.

Use spec/dummy/config/database.yml.docker instead of spec/dummy/config/database.yml.

Once intalled, setup the DB with docker-compose create, docker-compose start and rake db:setup
