StripeKit

StripeKit is a Swift package used to communicate with the Stripe API for Server Side Swift Apps.

Current supported version

Version 2.0.0 of StripeKit supports the Stripe API version of 2019-11-05. You can check the releases page to use a version of StripeKit that meets your needs.

Installation

To start using StripeKit, in your Package.swift, add the following

.package(url: "https://github.com/vapor-community/stripekit.git", from: "2.0.0")

Using the API

Initialize the StripeClient

let elg = MultiThreadedEventLoopGroup(numberOfThreads: System.coreCount)
let stripe = StripeClient(eventLoop: elg, apiKey: "sk_12345")

And now you have acess to the APIs via stripe.

The APIs you have available corrospond to what's implemented.

For example to use the charges API, the stripeclient has a property to access that API via routes.

 stripe.charges.create(amount: 2500,
                       currency: .usd,
		       description: "A server written in swift.",
                       source: "tok_visa").flatMap { (charge) -> EventLoopFuture<Void> in
                          if charge.status == .succeeded {
                              print("New servers are on the way 🚀")
                          } else {
                              print("Sorry you have to use Node.js 🤢")
                          }
            }

Nuances with parameters and type safety

Stripe has a habit of changing APIs and having dynamic paramters for alot of their APIs. To accomadate for these changes, certain routes that take arguments that are hashs or Dictionaries, are represented by a swift dictionary [String: Any].

For example consider the connect account api.

// We define a custom dictionary to represent the paramaters stripe requires.
// This allows us to avoid having to add updates to the library when a paramater or structure changes.
let individual: [String: Any] = ["address": ["city": "New York",
					     "country": "US",
                                             "line1": "1551 Broadway",
                                             "postal_code": "10036",
	                  	             "state": "NY"],
				 "first_name": "Taylor",
			         "last_name": "Swift",
                                 "ssn_last_4": "0000",
				 "dob": ["day": "13",
					 "month": "12",
					 "year": "1989"]]
												 
let businessSettings: [String: Any] = ["payouts": ["statement_descriptor": "SWIFTFORALL"]]

let tosDictionary: [String: Any] = ["date": Int(Date().timeIntervalSince1970), "ip": "127.0.0.1"]

    stripe.connectAccounts.create(type: .custom,									
                                  country: "US",
				  email: "a@example.com",
				  businessType: .individual,
			          defaultCurrency: .usd,
				  externalAccount: "bank_token",
			          individual: individual,
				  requestedCapabilities: ["platform_payments"],
				  settings: businessSettings,
				  tosAcceptance: tosDictionary).flatMap { connectAccount in
					print("New Stripe Connect account ID: \(connectAccount.id)")			
				}

Authentication via the Stripe-Account header

The first, preferred, authentication option is to use your (the platform account’s) secret key and pass a Stripe-Account header identifying the connected account for which the request is being made. The example request performs a refund of a charge on behalf of a connected account:

   stripe.refunds.headers.add(name: "Stripe-Account", value: "acc_12345")
   stripe.refunds.create(charge: "ch_12345", reason: .requestedByCustomer)

NOTE: The modified headers will remain on the route instance (refunds in this case) of the StripeClient if a reference to it is held. If you're accessing the StripeClient in the scope of a function, the headers will not be retained.

Error Handling

None of the API calls throw errors. Instead each route returns a successful EventLoopFuture or a failed EventLoopFuture.

 stripe.charges.create(amount: 2500,
                       currency: .usd,
		       description: "A server written in swift.",
                       source: "tok_visa")
 .flatMap { (charge) -> EventLoopFuture<Void> in
	  if charge.status == .succeeded {
	      print("New servers are on the way 🚀")
	  } else {
	      print("Sorry you have to use Node.js 🤢")
	  }
  }
  .flatMapError { error in
     print("Stripe error \(error.message)")
  }
