braintree ruby client library

Braintree Ruby Client Library¶ ↑

The Braintree gem provides integration access to the Braintree Gateway.

Dependencies¶ ↑

• builder

• libxml-ruby

Quick Start Example¶ ↑

require "rubygems"
require "braintree"

Braintree::Configuration.environment = :sandbox
Braintree::Configuration.merchant_id = "your_merchant_id"
Braintree::Configuration.public_key = "your_public_key"
Braintree::Configuration.private_key = "your_private_key"

result = Braintree::Transaction.sale(
  :amount => "1000.00",
  :credit_card => {
    :number => "5105105105105100",
    :expiration_date => "05/12"
  }
)

if result.success?
  puts "success!: #{result.transaction.id}"
elsif result.transaction
  puts "Error processing transaction:"
  puts "  code: #{result.transaction.processor_response_code}"
  puts "  text: #{result.transaction.processor_response_text}"
else
  p result.errors
end

Bang Methods¶ ↑

Most methods have a bang and a non-bang version (e.g. Braintree::Customer.create and Braintree::Customer.create!). The non-bang version will either return a SuccessfulResult or an ErrorResult. The bang version will either return the created or updated resource, or it will raise a ValidationsFailed exception.

Example of using non-bang method:

result = Braintree::Customer.create(:first_name => "Josh")
if result.success?
  puts "Created customer #{result.customer.id}
else
  puts "Validations failed"
  result.errors.for(:customer).each do |error|
    puts error.message
  end
end

Example of using bang method:

begin
  customer = Braintree::Customer.create!(:first_name => "Josh")
  puts "Created customer #{customer.id}
rescue Braintree::ValidationsFailed
  puts "Validations failed"
end

We recommend using the bang methods when you assume that the data is valid and do not expect validations to fail. Otherwise, we recommend using the non-bang methods.

Tests¶ ↑

The unit specs can be run by anyone on any system, but the integration specs are meant to be run against a local development server of our gateway code. These integration specs are not meant for public consumption and will likely fail if run on your system.
