Telnyx Ruby Library

Build Status Coverage Status Join Slack

The Telnyx Ruby library provides convenient access to the Telnyx API from applications written in the Ruby language. It includes a pre-defined set of classes for API resources that initialize themselves dynamically from API responses.

The library also provides other features. For example:

Documentation

See the API docs.

Installation

You don't need this source code unless you want to modify the gem. If you just want to use the package, just run:

gem install telnyx

If you want to build the gem from source:

gem build telnyx.gemspec

Requirements

Bundler

If you are installing via bundler, you should be sure to use the https rubygems source in your Gemfile, as any gems fetched over http could potentially be compromised in transit and alter the code of gems fetched securely over https:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'telnyx'

Usage

The library needs to be configured with your account's secret key which is available in your Telnyx Portal. Set Telnyx.api_key to its value:

require "telnyx"
Telnyx.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"

# list messaging profiles
Telnyx::MessagingProfile.list()

# retrieve single messaging profile
Telnyx::MessagingProfile.retrieve("123")

Iterating over a resource

API resources are paginated and the library comes with a handful of methods to ease dealing with them seemlessly.

# list messaging profiles
first_page = Telnyx::MessagingProfile.list()

# check whether there are more pages to go through
if first_page.more?
  puts("There are still more pages to go.")
else
  puts("This is the last page.")
end

# get current page's size and number
first_page.page_size
first_page.page_number

# fetch the next and previous pages
second_page = first_page.next_page
first_page = second_page.previous_page

# iterate over the results of a *single page*
second_page.each do |messaging_profile|
  puts(messaging_profile.id)
end

# iterate over *all of the messaging profiles* starting at `first_page`
# similar to `each`, but requests subsequent pages as needed
first_page.auto_paging_each do |messaging_profile|
  puts(messaging_profile.id)
end

Configuring a Client

While a default HTTP client is used by default, it's also possible to have the library use any client supported by Faraday by initializing a Telnyx::TelnyxClient object and giving it a connection:

conn = Faraday.new
client = Telnyx::TelnyxClient.new(conn)
connection, resp = client.request do
  Telnyx::MessagingProfile.retrieve(
    "123",
  )
end
puts resp.request_id

Configuring Automatic Retries

The library can be configured to automatically retry requests that fail due to an intermittent network problem:

Telnyx.max_network_retries = 2

Configuring Timeouts

Open and read timeouts are configurable:

Telnyx.open_timeout = 30 # in seconds
Telnyx.read_timeout = 80

Please take care to set conservative read timeouts. Some API requests can take some time, and a short timeout increases the likelihood of a problem within our servers.

Logging

The library can be configured to emit logging that will give you better insight into what it's doing. The info logging level is usually most appropriate for production use, but debug is also available for more verbosity.

There are a few options for enabling it:

  1. Set the environment variable TELNYX_LOG_LEVEL to the value debug or info:

    $ export TELNYX_LOG_LEVEL=info
  2. Set Telnyx.log_level:

    Telnyx.log_level = Telnyx::LEVEL_INFO

Development

Setup

The test suite depends on the Prism Mock Server.

npm install -g @stoplight/prism-cli

# OR

yarn global add @stoplight/prism-cli

Once installed, start the prism mock service with the following command:

prism mock https://raw.githubusercontent.com/team-telnyx/openapi/master/openapi/spec3.json

One final step -- because the Ruby SDK originally expected to reach the legacy telnyx-mock service at port 12111 (in addition to providing a /v2/ base path), we need to setup a proxy server.

You can do this any way you wish, but included is a server.js file which you can utilize:

# In new terminal window

node server.js

Running Tests

Run all tests:

bundle exec rake test

Run a single test suite:

bundle exec ruby -Ilib/ test/telnyx/util_test.rb

Run a single test:

bundle exec ruby -Ilib/ test/telnyx/util_test.rb -n /should.convert.names.to.symbols/

Run the linter:

bundle exec rake rubocop

Run guard:

bundle exec guard

Adding a new resource

To add a new resource:

  1. Add the class for the resource under lib/telnyx/.
  2. Require the new class in lib/telnyx.rb.
  3. Add the association between OBJECT_NAME and class name in the object_classes hash in lib/telnyx/util.rb.
  4. Add tests to validate the behaviour of the new class.

Acknowledgements

The contributors and maintainers of Telnyx Ruby would like to extend their deep gratitude to the authors of Stripe Ruby, upon which this project is based. Thank you for developing such elegant, usable, extensible code and for sharing it with the community.
