This plugin simplifies the parsing of qbXML messages into ActiveRecord model attributes.
Declare a non-persistent model (doesn't require migration, won't be saved to db). A non-persistent model can be used for converting data in and out-of qbxml format, when you already have your own models.
class Customer < ActiveRecord::BaseWithoutTable
acts_as_quickbooks_model
end
Or declare a regular ActiveRecord model that will save your qbxml objects to the database. You must then run the appropriate db migration from acts_as_quickbooks_model/migrations.
class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_quickbooks_model
end
From qbxml to ActiveRecord:
xml = <<-XML
<CustomerRet>
<ListID>150000-933272658</ListID>
<Name>Abercrombie, Kristy</Name>
<BillAddress>
<Addr1>Kristy Abercrombie</Addr1>
<Addr2>5647 Cypress Hill Rd</Addr2>
<City>Bayshore</City>
<State>CA</State>
<PostalCode>94326</PostalCode>
</BillAddress>
</CustomerRet>
XML
customer = Customer.new(:qbxml => xml)
customer.list_id # => "150000-933272658"
customer.name # => "Abercrombie, Kristy"
customer.bill_address_city # => "Bayshore"
...
Let's update their address:
customer.bill_address_addr1 = "4544 Hillard Way"
customer.bill_address_addr2 = ""
customer.bill_address_city = "Grand Island"
customer.bill_address_state = "NE"
customer.bill_address_postal_code = "68801"
customer.valid? # => true
Convert back from ActiveRecord to qbxml:
customer.to_qbxml # =>
"<Customer>
<ListId>150000-933272658</ListId>
<Name>Abercrombie, Kristy</Name>
<BillAddress><Addr1>4544 Hillard Way</Addr1></BillAddress>
<BillAddress><City>Grand Island</City></BillAddress>
<BillAddress><State>NE</State></BillAddress>
<BillAddress><PostalCode>68801</PostalCode></BillAddress>
</Customer>"
class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_quickbooks_model
has_many :invoice_lines
has_many :invoice_line_groups
end
class InvoiceLine < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_quickbooks_model
belongs_to :invoice
end
class InvoiceLineGroup < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_quickbooks_model
