Constant Contact Ruby SDK

In order to use the Constant Contact SDK you have to follow these steps:

A. Rails example :

Install the gem :
```
 gem install constantcontact
```

Configure Rails to load the gem :

 Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
     ...
     config.gem "constantcontact"
     ...
 end

or add the following in your .Gemfile :

    gem 'constantcontact'

Create a new action and add the following code:

 @oauth = ConstantContact::Auth::OAuth2.new(
     :api_key => 'your api key',
     :api_secret => 'your secret key',
     :redirect_url => 'your redirect url'
 )

 @error = params[:error]
 @user = params[:username]
 @code = params[:code]

 if @code
     response = @oauth.get_access_token(@code)
     if response
         token = response['access_token']
         cc = ConstantContact::Api.new('your api key')
         @contacts = cc.get_contacts(token)
     end
 end

Note: 'your redirect url' is the URL of the action you just created.

Create a view for the above mentioned action with the following code:

 <% if @error %>
     <p>
         <%=@error%>
     </p>
 <% end %>

 <% if @code %>
     <% if @contacts %>
         <% for contact in @contacts %>
             <p>
                 Contact name: <%= contact.first_name + contact.last_name %>
             </p>
         <% end %>
     <% end %>
 <% else %>
     <a href="<%=@oauth.get_authorization_url%>">Click to authorize</a>
 <% end %>

The first time you access the action in browser you should see the "Click to authorize" link. Follow the link, go through all the Constant Contact steps required and then you will be redirected back to your action and you should see the list of contacts.

B. Sinatra example :

Install the gem :
```
 gem install constantcontact
```

Add the following code in myapp.rb (just an example): require 'active_support' require 'constantcontact'

 get '/my_url' do
     @oauth = ConstantContact::Auth::OAuth2.new(
         :api_key => 'your api key',
         :api_secret => 'your secret key',
         :redirect_url => 'your redirect url'
     )

     @error = params[:error]
     @user = params[:username]
     @code = params[:code]

     if @code
         response = @oauth.get_access_token(@code)
         if response
             token = response['access_token']
             cc = ConstantContact::Api.new('your api key')
             @contacts = cc.get_contacts(token)
         end
     end

     erb :my_view
 end

Note: 'your redirect url' is the URL of the route you just created ( get '/my_url' ).

Create a my_view.rhtml (or my_view.erb) with the following code:

 <% if @error %>
     <p>
         <%=@error%>
     </p>
 <% end %>

 <% if @code %>
     <% if @contacts %>
         <% for contact in @contacts %>
             <p>
                 Contact name: <%= contact.first_name + contact.last_name %>
             </p>
         <% end %>
     <% end %>
 <% else %>
     <a href="<%=@oauth.get_authorization_url%>">Click to authorize</a>
 <% end %>

The first time you access the action in browser you should see the "Click to authorize" link. Follow the link, go through all the Constant Contact steps required and then you will be redirected back to your action and you should see the list of contacts.
