Tnt Api

Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file lib/tnt_api. To experiment with that code, run bin/console for an interactive prompt.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'tnt_api'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install tnt_api

Usage

TNTApi::RequestHandler.request(request_name, attributes)

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Usage

client configuration (if using Rails, place in an initializer)

TNTApi::Client.configure do |config|
  config.username = # your username
  config.password = # your password
  config.service_endpoint = # your service_endpoint
  config.service_wsdl = # your service_wsdl
  config.logger = # your logger
  config.account_number = # your account_number
end

Error handling

If a request fails, a TNTApi::TNTError will be raised. You can call .message on this object to get the error messages from TNT.

You can also call .attributes to get the formatted values passed to TNT for debugging.
