Sinch does a bunch of cool mobile features for native apps.
This gem provides API functionality to access the Sinch REST API with ruby
Currently the only implementation covers the Verification API
This gem is designed to work with rails. To install it, add the following to your Gemfile
gem 'sinch-ruby', '0.2.2', require: 'sinch'
To install it via gem install
:
$ gem install sinch-ruby
$ irb
> require 'sinch'
> # do things with Sinch
In order to make Authenticated requests, you'll need to configure the application_key
and secret_key
from your Sinch account.
First, create an app in the Sinch portal, and then find your application_key.
Then, in an initializer, or wherever suits you:
Sinch.configure do |config|
config.application_key = '[your-application-key]'
config.secret_key = '[your-application-secret]'
end
To call the api, call .request
on the Gateway
class, providing the resource as your first argument, and any params for the second
Currently the only resources supported are :verification
, :report_verification
, and :send_sms
gateway = Sinch::Gateway
params = { phone_number: '+121255535555' }
gateway.request(:verification, params)
gateway = Sinch::Gateway
params = { phone_number: '+121255535555', code: '1337' }
gateway.request(:report_verification, params)
To send SMS to any given number through Sinch, you must be approved for a production app and have Full SMS Access enabled. If you are using a sandbox app, you can only send SMS messages to the Verified Phone Number associated with the account
gateway = Sinch::Gateway
# phone_number: The recipient's phone number
# from (optional): The sender's phone number (Note: this needs to be an authorized number in your Sinch account)
# message: SMS Body
params = { phone_number: '+121255555555', from: '+121255535555', message: 'I have a very specific set of skills.' }
gateway.request(:send_sms, params)
This gem comes with a Bogus Gateway that can be used when you would like to stub the requests sent to the gateway Below is a sample Rails initializer that will use the BogusGateway if the secrets are not set
# ./config/initializers/sinch.rb
secrets = Rails.application.secrets.sinch
Sinch.configure do |config|
config.gateway = Sinch::BogusGateway
if secrets.present?
config.application_key = secrets[:application_key]
config.secret_key = '[your-application-secret]'
config.gateway = Sinch::Gateway
end
end
