NetSuite Ruby SuiteTalk Gem
- This gem will act as a wrapper around the NetSuite SuiteTalk WebServices API. Wow, that is a mouthful.
- The gem does not cover the entire API, only the subset that we have found useful to cover so far.
- Extending the wrapper is pretty simple. Check out the contribution help doc
- NetSuite development is overall a pretty poor experience. We have a list of NetSuite Development Resources that might make things a bit less painful.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'netsuite'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install netsuite
This gem is built for ruby 1.9.x, checkout the 1-8-stable branch for ruby 1.8.x support.
Testing
Before contributing a patch make sure all existing tests pass.
git clone git://github.com/RevolutionPrep/netsuite.git
cd netsuite
bundle
bundle exec rspec
Usage
Configuration
Not sure how to find your account id? Search for "web service preferences" in the NetSuite global search.
NetSuite.configure do
reset!
# optional, defaults to 2011_2
api_version '2012_1'
# optionally specify full wsdl URL (to switch to sandbox, for example)
wsdl "https://webservices.sandbox.netsuite.com/wsdl/v#{api_version}_0/netsuite.wsdl"
# or specify the sandbox flag if you don't want to deal with specifying a full URL
sandbox true
# often the netsuite servers will hang which would cause a timeout exception to be raised
# if you don't mind waiting (e.g. processing NS via DJ), increasing the timeout should fix the issue
read_timeout 100000
# you can specify a file or file descriptor to send the log output to (defaults to STDOUT)
log File.join(Rails.root, 'log/netsuite.log')
# login information
email '[email protected]'
password 'password'
account '12345'
role 1111
end
Examples
CRUD Operations
# get a customer
customer = NetSuite::Records::Customer.get(:internal_id => 4)
customer.is_person
# or
NetSuite::Records::Customer.get(4).is_person
# get a list of customers
customers = NetSuite::Records::Customer.get_list(:list => [4, 5, 6])
# randomly assign a task
customer_support_reps = [12345, 12346]
task = NetSuite::Records::Task.new(
:title => 'Take Care of a Customer',
:assigned => NetSuite::Records::RecordRef.new(customer_support_reps.sample),
:due_date => DateTime.now + 1,
:message => "Take care of this"
)
task.add
