EleVAT

This gem is a simple receipts creator. It allow you to calculate the amount of taxes and the amount of the total price for a list of products.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'eleVAT'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install eleVAT

Configure the tax rates, the rounding precision and the list of tax free items

require 'eleVAT'

EleVAT.configure do |config|
  # Rate for all the items except for the items included in the tax free item
  # list
  config.basic_tax_rate = 10
  # Rate for the imported items
  config.import_tax_rate = 5
  # list of tax free items
  config.tax_free_items = %w(chocolate chocolates pills book)
  # Tax amount will be rounded up to the nearest rounding precision value
  config.rounding_precision = 0.05
end

Use the EleVAT::Importer to import products and the EleVAT::Recipt to calculate the amounts.

# For each product the string pattern have to be '$quantity $name at $net_price'
importer = Importer.new(
  '1 imported box of chocolates at 10.00 1 imported bottle of perfume at 47.50'
)
data_for_receipt = importer.export_data_for_receipt
receipt = Receipt.new data_for_receipt

You can calculate the the amounts using the following receipt.calculate_total and receipt.calculate_taxes and access the value through receipt.total_amount and receipt.taxes. You can also access the products list receipt.products.

If you don't need to use the importer you can create manually the products and add them to the receipt after prepareing them.

product = Product.new(1, 'Chocolate', 2.0, taxable = true, imported = false)
receipt.add(product.prepare_for_receipt)
# or
product_2 = Product.new(1, 'Beer', 5.0).prepare_for_receipt
product_3 = Product.new(1, 'Lemon', 2.0).prepare_for_receipt
receipt.add([product_2, product_3])

Use receipt.to_s to view the printable receipt.
