Webhookr::Recurly

This gem is a plugin for Webhookr that enables your application to accept webhooks from Recurly.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'webhookr-recurly'

Or install it yourself:

$ gem install webhookr-recurly

Once you have the gem installed, run the generator to add the engine route to your config/routes.rb:

rails g webhookr:add_route

or, add the routing information manually to config/routes.rb

mount Webhookr::Engine => "/webhookr", :as => "webhookr"

Then run the generator to add the code to your initializer. An initializer will be created if you do not have one.

rails g webhookr:recurly:init *initializer_name* -s

Run the generator to create an example file to handle Recurly webhooks.

rails g webhookr:recurly:example_hooks

Or create a Recurly handler class for any event that you want to handle. For example to handle unsubscribes you would create a class as follows:

class RecurlyHooks
  def canceled_subscription_notification(incoming)
    # Your custom logic goes here.
    User.sync_recurly_subscription(incoming.payload.account.account_code)
  end
end

For a complete list of events, and the payload format, see below.

Edit config/initializers/initializer_name and change the commented line to point to your custom Recurly event handling class. If your class was called RecurlyHooks the configuration line would look like this:

  Webhookr::Recurly::Adapter.config.callback = RecurlyHooks

To see the list of Recurly URLs for your application can use when you configure Recurly webhooks (https://[yoursite].recurly.com/configuration/notifications), run the provided webhookr rake task:

rake webhookr:services

Example output:

recurly:
  GET	/webhookr/events/recurly/19xl64emxvn
  POST	/webhookr/events/recurly/19xl64emxvn

All webhook events are supported. For further information on events, see the Recurly documentation.

The payload is the full payload data from as per the Recurly documentation, converted to an OpenStruct for ease of access. Examples for the subscription canceled webhook:

  incoming.payload.account.account_code
  incoming.payload.account.email
  incoming.payload.subscription.state
  incoming.payload.subscription.canceled_at
  incoming.payload.subscription.expires_at
  incoming.payload.subscription.plan.plan_code
  incoming.payload.subscription.plan.name

This library aims to adhere to Semantic Versioning 2.0.0. Violations of this scheme should be reported as bugs. Specifically, if a minor or patch version is released that breaks backward compatibility, that version should be immediately yanked and/or a new version should be immediately released that restores compatibility. Breaking changes to the public API will only be introduced with new major versions. As a result of this policy, once this gem reaches a 1.0 release, you can (and should) specify a dependency on this gem using the Pessimistic Version Constraint with two digits of precision. For example:

spec.add_dependency 'webhookr-recurly', '~> 1.0'

While this gem is currently a 0.x release, suggestion is to require the exact version that works for your code:

spec.add_dependency 'webhookr-recurly', '0.1'

webhookr-recurly is released under the MIT license.
