# Square Ruby Library
2+
3+
[![Build](https://github.com/square/square-ruby-sdk/actions/workflows/ruby.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/square/square-ruby-sdk/actions/workflows/ruby.yml)
4+
[![Gem version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/square.rb.svg?new)](https://badge.fury.io/rb/square.rb)
5+
6+
The Square Ruby library provides convenient access to the Square API from Ruby.
7+
8+
## Requirements
9+
10+
Use of the Square Ruby SDK requires:
11+
12+
* Ruby 2.7+
13+
14+
## Installation
15+
16+
For more information, see [Set Up Your Square SDK for a Ruby Project](https://developer.squareup.com/docs/sdks/ruby/setup-project).
17+
18+
## Reference
19+
20+
For more information, see [Full Ruby Guide](https://developer.squareup.com/docs/sdks/ruby).
21+
22+
## Versioning
23+
24+
The Square Ruby SDK version is managed through the gem version. To use a specific version:
25+
26+
```bash
27+
gem install square.rb -v 44.0.0
28+
```
29+
30+
Or in your Gemfile:
31+
```ruby
32+
gem 'square.rb', '~> 44.0.0'
33+
```
34+
```
35+
36+
## Usage
37+
38+
For more information, see [Using the Square Ruby SDK](https://developer.squareup.com/docs/sdks/ruby/using-ruby-sdk).
39+
40+
## Legacy SDK
41+
42+
While the new SDK has a lot of improvements, we at Square understand that it takes time to upgrade when there are breaking changes.
43+
To make the migration easier, the new SDK also exports the legacy SDK as `square_legacy`. Here's an example of how you can use the
44+
legacy SDK alongside the new SDK inside a single file:
45+
46+
```ruby
47+
# Load both SDKs
48+
require 'square'
49+
require 'square_legacy'
50+
51+
# Initialize new SDK client
52+
new_client = Square::Client.new(
53+
access_token: 'YOUR_SQUARE_ACCESS_TOKEN'
54+
)
55+
56+
# Initialize legacy SDK client
57+
legacy_client = SquareLegacy::Client.new(
58+
bearer_auth_credentials: {
59+
access_token: 'YOUR_SQUARE_ACCESS_TOKEN'
60+
}
61+
)
62+
63+
# Use new SDK for newer features
64+
locations = new_client.locations.get_locations.data.locations
65+
66+
# Use legacy SDK for specific legacy functionality
67+
legacy_payment = legacy_client.payments_api.create_payment(
68+
body: {
69+
source_id: 'example_1234567890',
70+
idempotency_key: SecureRandom.uuid,
71+
amount_money: {
72+
amount: 100,
73+
currency: 'USD'
74+
}
75+
}
76+
)
77+
```
78+
79+
We recommend migrating to the new SDK using the following steps:
80+
81+
1. Update your square.rb: `gem update square.rb`
82+
2. Search and replace all requires from `'square'` to `'square_legacy'`
83+
3. Update all client initializations from
84+
```ruby
85+
client = Square::Client.new(access_token: 'token')
86+
```
87+
to
88+
```ruby
89+
client = SquareLegacy::Client.new(
90+
bearer_auth_credentials: { access_token: 'token' }
91+
)
92+
```
93+
4. Gradually migrate over to the new SDK by importing it from the `'square'` import.
94+
95+
## Request And Response Types
96+
97+
The SDK exports all request and response types as Ruby classes. Simply require them with the
98+
following namespace:
99+
100+
```ruby
101+
require 'square'
102+
103+
# Create a request object
104+
request = Square::CreateMobileAuthorizationCodeRequest.new(
105+
location_id: 'YOUR_LOCATION_ID'
106+
)
107+
```
108+
109+
## Exception Handling
110+
111+
When the API returns a non-success status code (4xx or 5xx response), a subclass of the following error
112+
will be raised.
113+
114+
```ruby
115+
require 'square'
116+
117+
begin
118+
response = client.payments.create(...)
119+
rescue Square::ApiError => e
120+
puts "Status Code: #{e.status_code}"
121+
puts "Message: #{e.message}"
122+
puts "Body: #{e.body}"
123+
end
124+
```
125+
126+
## Pagination
127+
128+
List endpoints are paginated. The SDK provides methods to handle pagination:
129+
130+
```ruby
131+
require 'square'
132+
133+
client = Square::Client.new(access_token: "YOUR_TOKEN")
134+
135+
# Get all items using pagination
136+
response = client.bank_accounts.list
137+
all_bank_accounts = []
138+
139+
while response.data.bank_accounts.any?
140+
all_bank_accounts.concat(response.data.bank_accounts)
141+
142+
# Check if there are more pages
143+
if response.cursor
144+
response = client.bank_accounts.list(cursor: response.cursor)
145+
else
146+
break
147+
end
148+
end
149+
150+
puts "Total bank accounts: #{all_bank_accounts.length}"
151+
```
152+
153+
## Advanced
154+
155+
### Additional Headers
156+
157+
If you would like to send additional headers as part of the request, use the `headers` request option.
158+
159+
```ruby
160+
response = client.payments.create(..., {
161+
headers: {
162+
'X-Custom-Header' => 'custom value'
163+
}
164+
})
165+
```
166+
167+
### Receive Extra Properties
168+
169+
Every response includes any extra properties in the JSON response that were not specified in the type.
170+
This can be useful for API features not present in the SDK yet.
171+
172+
You can receive and interact with the extra properties by accessing the raw response data:
173+
174+
```ruby
175+
response = client.locations.create(...)
176+
177+
# Access the raw response data
178+
location_data = response.data.to_h
179+
180+
# Then access the extra property by its name
181+
undocumented_property = location_data['undocumentedProperty']
182+
```
183+
184+
### Retries
185+
186+
The SDK is instrumented with automatic retries with exponential backoff. A request will be retried as long
187+
as the request is deemed retriable and the number of retry attempts has not grown larger than the configured
188+
retry limit (default: 2).
189+
190+
A request is deemed retriable when any of the following HTTP status codes is returned:
191+
192+
- [408](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/408) (Timeout)
193+
- [429](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/429) (Too Many Requests)
194+
- [5XX](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/500) (Internal Server Errors)
195+
196+
Use the `max_retries` request option to configure this behavior.
197+
198+
```ruby
199+
response = client.payments.create(..., {
200+
max_retries: 0 # override max_retries at the request level
201+
})
202+
```
203+
204+
### Timeouts
205+
206+
The SDK defaults to a 60 second timeout. Use the `timeout_in_seconds` option to configure this behavior.
207+
208+
```ruby
209+
response = client.payments.create(..., {
210+
timeout_in_seconds: 30 # override timeout to 30s
211+
})
212+
```
213+
214+
## Contributing
215+
216+
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Additions made directly to this library would have to be moved over to our generation code, otherwise they would be overwritten upon the next generated release. Feel free to open a PR as a proof of concept, but know that we will not be able to merge it as-is. We suggest opening an issue first to discuss with us!
217+
218+
On the other hand, contributions to the README are always very welcome!
