Usage

1. Checking for a transaction

require 'soofapay'

soofa = Soofa.new("your_till_number", 'your_client_secret')
puts "soofa balance is:  ",soofa.get_balance.class
exist = soofa.find("transaction_id")
if exist
  @trx = soofa.get_transaction
  puts @trx.tid
  puts @trx.gross_amount
  puts @trx.as_json['reference']
  puts @trx.as_string
end

The expected response for transaction check is Transaction object with various keys and methods

There is an additional method for getting the entire JSON object.

transaction.json()

{
    "status": "SUCCESSFUL",
    "sender_currency": "KES",
    "receiver_currency": "KES",
    "tid": "QTMB3",
    "reference": "T5004",
    "receipt_no": "NFQ6U45W28",
    "timestamp": 1561499777.715254,
    "gross_amount": 5,
    "net_amount": 4.8605,
    "transacted_via": "mpesa",
    "is_money_in": true,
    "sender": "+254701234567",
    "receiver": "Dev Market"
}

The table below describes all the attributes of the transaction object.

require 'soofapay'

soofa = Soofa.new("you_soofa_till_number", "your_client_secret_here")
balance = soofa.get_balance()
