TaskRabbit Ruby Gem

Ruby wrapper for TaskRabbit API.

Installation

Or in a Gemfile:

gem 'taskrabbit'

Usage Example

Configuration

In an initializer file.

Taskrabbit.configure do |config|
  config.api_secret = 'your-client-secret'
  config.api_key    = 'your-client-key'
  config.base_uri   = 'https://sandbox.com'
  config.endpoint   = 'api/v2'
end

Available configuration options:

api_secret: client secret that has been given to you by TaskRabbit
api_key: client key that has been given by TaskRabbit
base_uri: uri of the server (not mandatory, default to https://www.taskrabbit.com)
endpoint: endpoint (not mandatory, default to api/v1)

Task

use the API client

tr = Taskrabbit::Api.new

or with a user token returned by TaskRabbit.

tr = Taskrabbit::Api.new(user_token)

Get the list of all the tasks

tr = Taskrabbit::Api.new
# to get the /tasks
tasks = tr.tasks.all
# fetch the first task
tasks.first

tasks.all(:reload => true) # => will redo the query

Find a task

tr = Taskrabbit::Api.new
t = tr.tasks.find(31231) # This actually wont do the request

To request the API:

t.fetch # force fetching

or simply access a property:

t.name # will do the query

Find the tasks of an user

tr.users.find(user_id).tasks

Create a task

tr = Taskrabbit::Api.new(user_token)
task = tr.tasks.create({:named_price => 32, :name => 'Ikea'})
task.new_record? #=> false

task = tr.tasks.new({:named_price => 32, :name => 'Ikea'})
task.save

Update a task

task = tr.tasks.find(32121)
task.named_price = 45
task.save

Error for tasks creation or update

tr = Taskrabbit::Api.new(user_token)
task = tr.tasks.new
unless task.save
  task.error # => "Task title can't be blank, \nAmount you are willing to pay is not a number"
  task.errors # => { "messages" => ["Task title can't be blank", "Amount you are willing to pay is not a number"],
                     "fields" => [["name","can't be blank"], ["named_price","is not a number"]] }
end

Redirect

In some case TaskRabbit will return an url which should be used for further operations (i.e: when the user doesn't have a credit card).

tr = Taskrabbit::Api.new(user_token)
task = tr.tasks.new
unless task.save
  if task.redirect?
    task.redirect_url #=> 'http://www.taskrabbit.com/somepath'
  end
end

User account

tr = Taskrabbit::Api.new(user_token)
tr.account # => Taskrabbit::User object

tr.account.tasks # => List of tasks
tr.account.tasks.create(some_params)

Cities

Get list of cities

tr.cities.each do |city|
  city.name
end

Find a city using the id

tr.cities.find(3).name # => "SF Bay Area"
