# ElixirFreshbooks

An [Elixir](http://elixir-lang.org/) client for the [FreshBooks](http://freshbooks.com) API.

This is a work *in progress*. This means that there are a limited set of features available (i.e:
the ones I need right now :)) so pull requests to add new features are **highly** appreciated :)

----

# Using it with Mix

To use it in your Mix projects, first add it as a dependency:

```elixir
def deps do
[{:elixir_freshbooks, "~> 0.0.7"}]
end
```
Then run mix deps.get to install it.

----

# Configuring
In your config.exs, setup the following section:

```elixir
config :elixir_freshbooks,
url: "https://sample.freshbooks.com/api/2.1/xml-in",
token: "token"
```

In your freshbooks account you should find both values.

# Documentation

## Clients

Clients are used via the [Client](https://github.com/marcelog/elixir_freshbooks/blob/master/lib/elixir_freshbooks/client.ex) module.

```elixir
alias ElixirFreshbooks.Client, as: C
```

### Creating
```elixir
> C.create(
"first_name", "last_name", "organization", "[email protected]",
"username", "password"
)
%ElixirFreshbooks.Client{
email: "[email protected]",
first_name: "first_name",
id: 4422,
last_name: "last_name",
organization: "organization",
username: "username",
password: "password"
}
```

Both `username` and `password` are optional arguments.

### Updating
```elixir
> C.update %ElixirFreshbooks.Client{id: 4422, password: "new_password"}
:ok
```

## Invoices

Invoices are used via the [Invoice](https://github.com/marcelog/elixir_freshbooks/blob/master/lib/elixir_freshbooks/invoice.ex) module.

```elixir
alias ElixirFreshbooks.Invoice, as: I
alias ElixirFreshbooks.InvoiceLine, as: L
```

### Creating
```elixir
# Create a new invoice for the client_id 4422, add one line with the given
# name, description, unit_cost, and quantity.
> I.create 4422, "sent", ["note1", "note2", "note3"], [
L.new("Line Name", "Line Description", 2, 4)
]
%ElixirFreshbooks.Invoice{
client_id: 4422,
id: 9932,
lines: [
%ElixirFreshbooks.InvoiceLine{
description: "Line Description",
name: "Line Name",
quantity: 4,
type: "item",
unit_cost: 2
}
],
notes: ["note1", "note2", "note3"],
status: "sent"
}
```

### Adding taxes
```elixir
# Taxes are in percent only, not absolute values.
> item = L.new("Line Name", "Line Description", 2, 4) |>
L.tax("tax name", 7) |>
L.tax("another tax", 3)
> I.create 4422, "sent", ["note1", "note2", "note3"], [item]
