GoogleWallet

Unofficial Ruby Gem for Google Wallet API.

Prerequisites

Before you use the Google Wallet API for an integration, complete first four steps from this guide.

The 1st step will provide you with IssuerID=33880000000XXXXXXXX and

on the 3rd step you are going to obtain key.json, those are needed for the gem initialization.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'google_wallet'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install google_wallet

Usage

Create initializer:

# config/initializers/google_wallet.rb

GoogleWallet.configure do |config|
  config.load_credentials_from_file('./key.json')
  config.issuer_id = '33880000000XXXXXXXX'
  config.debug_mode = true
  config.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)
end

EventTicket

Create class (event representation):

event_attributes = {
  # required fields
  class_identifier: 'Event-123456', 
  event_name: 'Solo Singing Contest #1 Yay!', 
  issuer_name: 'iChar System',
  
  # other fields
  event_id: '123456',

  homepage_url: 'https://example.com',
  country_code: 'no',
  venue_name: 'Opera Theater',
  venue_address: "Shevchenka street 41/5, Ukraine, Kyiv",
  start_date_time: '2023-09-27T22:30',
  end_date_time: '2023-09-28T01:30',
  hex_background_color: '#ff0077',
  callback_url: 'https://example.com/gpass_callback'
}


# Create Resource of EventTicket Class
event = GoogleWallet::Resources::EventTicket::Class.new(attributes: event_attributes)

# Push Class to Google Wallet API
event.push

Create object (ticket representation):

ticket_attributes = {
  # required fields
  object_identifier: 'fd9b637f-0381-42ad-9161-b4d887d79d9f',
  class_identifier: 'Event-123456',

  # other fields
  grouping_id: 'order-12345',
  ticket_type: 'VIP Adult Plus',
  section: 'The Sponsor Felt-F Overpower',
  seat: '65',
  row: '17',
  gate: 'G3, G4',
  ticket_holder_name: 'Yaro Developer',
  qr_code_value: '12345678',
  ticket_number: 'cdeqw',
  valid_time_start: '2023-09-27T22:30',
  valid_time_end: '2023-09-28T02:00',
  micros: 82_000_000,
  currency_code: 'NOK',
  hex_background_color: '#0090ff'
}

# Create Resource of EventTicket Object
ticket = GoogleWallet::Resources::EventTicket::Object.new(attributes: ticket_attributes)

# Push Object to Google Wallet API

# Option 1 (Recommended):
# Separated push and sign
ticket.push
jwt = ticket.sign(push_resource: false)

# Option 2:
# Combined - just use sign
jwt = ticket.sign # default is push_resource: true

# visit output link via authenticated browser
# or send it to you android device with Wallet app.

Separation of Ticket Push and JWT Signing

The gem offers a distinct advantage when pushing tickets separately from the signing phase. If tickets are pushed individually, the subsequent signing method utilizes only the ticket identifiers during the JWT signing process, rather than the entire ticket objects.

Advantages of Using Ticket Identifiers:

By employing ticket identifiers in the signing process instead of the full ticket objects, it significantly reduces the length of the final link generated. This streamlined approach allows for a more efficient and concise link that can be easily sent to the user.
