Shipping is a module that connects APIs for various shippers like UPS
and FedEx. It is available as a ruby gem:
gem install shipping
or from rubyforge
http://rubyforge.org/projects/shipping
There is going to be some data that will persist for all shipments. For
example, you will not want to repeat the fedex account number every
time in your implementation code. To set default values, setup a file
called .shipping.yml in the home directory of the user who will be
using this library. An example file would be:
fedex_url: https://url/to/fedex/api
fedex_account: 1234556
fedex_meter: 387878
ups_account: 7B4F74E3075AEEFF
ups_user: username
ups_password: password
You can set as many default values as you would like in this file.
require 'shipping'
ups = Shipping::UPS.new :zip => 97202, :sender_zip => 10001,
:weight => 2
ups.price => 8.77
ups.valid_address? => false
ups.city = "Portland"
ups.valid_address? => true
Alternately, you can instantiate the base class and then see both UPS
and FedEx information.
ship = Shipping::Base.new :zip => 97202, :state => "OR",
:sender_zip => 10001, :weight => 2
ship.ups.price => 8.77
ship.fedex.price => 5.17
ship.city = "Portland"
ship.ups.valid_address? => true
I hope you enjoy this library,
