Good Receipt Gem

This gem is a Ruby library for generating and managing receipts. This document provides instructions on how to install the gem, set configuration variables, retrieve a Google Cloud Storage key file, and use the GoodReceipt::Receipt class to create receipts.

gem install good_receipt

Before using the gem, you should configure it with the following variables:

• business_name: Name of your business.
• business_phone: Business phone number.
• business_email: Business email address.
• logo_path: Path to an image of your business logo.
• storage_project_id: Google Cloud project ID.
• storage_bucket: Google Cloud Storage bucket name.
• storage_credentials: Path to your Google Cloud Storage key file.

To set the configuration variables, you can use the GoodReceipt.configure block in a configuration file in your Ruby code:

require 'good_receipt'

GoodReceipt.configure do |config|
  config.business_name = 'Your Business Name'
  config.business_phone = '(000) 111-1234'
  config.business_email = 'business@example.com'
  config.logo_path = '/path/to/your/logo.png'
  config.storage_project_id = 'your-project-id'
  config.storage_bucket = 'your-bucket-name'
  config.storage_credentials = '/path/to/your/credentials.json'
end

To retrieve a Google Cloud Storage key file, you'll need to:

• Create a Google Cloud project
• Create a storage bucket in your project
• Create a service account in your project.
• Create a JSON key for your service account

Ensure that the key file is stored in a secure location and is accessible for authentication. You'll need to pass the path to your file to the configuration for GoodReceipt in order for your receipt PDFs to be sent to the cloud.

To create a receipt you'll need to pass your data in a specific format to the GoodReceipt::Receipt class. If your data is not structured correctly, an error will be thrown with exactly what's expected. Here's an example:

receipt_data = {
  line_items: [
    {
      name: 'Salad',
      items: [
        {
          price: 9.99,
          quantity: 1,
          name: 'Salad'
        },
        {
          price: 2.99,
          quantity: 1,
          name: 'Dressing'
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  customer_name: 'Sean',
  discount: 10, # Optional
  tax: 0.77, # Optional
  total_price: 13.75,
  date: "2023-09-21", # Date of purchase, can be any format
  id: 1 # ID of purchase, used for your unique pathname of PDF
}

instance = GoodReceipt::Receipt.new(receipt_data)
instance.generate # Will generate your PDF and store in the cloud
