NAME

WebService::Braintree - A Client Library for wrapping the Braintree Payment Services Gateway API

FORK

This is a fork of the original vendor-issued Net::Braintree. While the original is deprecated, it continues to work. However, it contains a number of code-style and maintainability problems. This fork was produced to address some of those problems and to provide a community driven basis for going forward.

DOCUMENTATION

The module is fully documented, but that documentation is reverse-engineered. The public facing API is very similar to the Ruby libraries which are documented at https://developers.braintreepayments.com/ruby/sdk/server/overview.

You can also look over the test suite for guidance of usage, especially the t/sandbox tests. Not all of these tests work (ones marked todo_skip). This is because they are an adaptation of code used against Braintree's private integration server.

As of version 0.94, with appropriate manual intervention for your sandbox account (documented in t/sandbox/README), more of the sandbox tests run/pass for this module than for the original module Net::Braintree.

OBJECT VS CLASS INTERFACE

As of January, 2018, Braintree released a large refactoring to how clients interact with the Braintre API. They call the different class (old-style) vs. object (new-style). Under the old style, configuration is global and all the interactions with the API use the same configuration. Under the new style, each call could use a new configuration, if needed.

Both styles will be supported for the foreseeable future. Clients can still set a global configuration and use the class interface, just like before.

In the documentation below, everything applies to both styles, except where otherwise noted. If there is a difference between them, an exmaple of both will be provided.

GENERAL STYLE

In general, clients of this library will not instantiate any objects. Every call you make will be a class method. Some methods will return objects. In those cases, those objects will be documented for you.

Unless otherwise noted, all attributes in these objects will be read-only and will have been populated by the responses from Braintree.

Object Style

If you use the object style, then you will instantiate and manage instances of gateway objects. Each gateway object will have its own configuration.

CONFIGURATION

You will need to set some configuration. Please see "" in WebService::Braintree::Configuration for details.

Class Style

use WebService::Braintree;

my $conf = WebService::Braintree->configuration;
$conf->environment( 'sandbox' );
$conf->merchant_id( 'use_your_merchant_id' );
$conf->public_key( 'use_your_public_key' );
$conf->private_key( 'use_your_private_key' );

my $result = WebService::Braintree::Transaction->sale(
    ...
);

Object Style

use WebService::Braintree;

my $gateway = WebService::Braintree::Gateway->new({
    environment => 'sandbox',
    merchant_id => 'use_your_merchant_id',
    public_key  => 'use_your_public_key',
    private_key => 'use_your_private_key',
});

my $result = $gateway->transaction->sale(
    ...
);

Client Tokens

In general, your server code (that uses this library) will be interacting with a client-side SDK (such as for Mobile or Javascript). That library will need a client token in order to interact with Braintree. This token will be all the client-side needs, regardless of whether your server is pointing at the sandbox or to production.

This token is created with "generate" in WebService::Braintree::ClientToken.

OBJECT INTERFACE

The object interface is described on each of the gateway classes. In general, they are identical to the class interface described below, with the change that you have invoked a method on a generic $gateway object instead of using the class.

q.v. WebService::Braintree::Gateway for more information.

CLASS INTERFACE

These are the classes that you will interface with. Please see their respective documentation for more detail on how to use them. These classes only provide class methods. These methods all invoke some part of the Braintree API.

WebService::Braintree::AddOn

List all plan add-ons.

WebService::Braintree::Address

Create, update, delete, and find addresses.

WebService::Braintree::ApplePay

List, register, and unregister ApplePay domains.

WebService::Braintree::ClientToken

Generate client tokens. These are used for client-side SDKs to take actions.

WebService::Braintree::CreditCard

Create, update, delete, and find credit cards.

WebService::Braintree::CreditCardVerification

Find and list credit card verifications.

WebService::Braintree::Customer

Create, update, delete, and find customers.

WebService::Braintree::Discount

List all plan discounts.

WebService::Braintree::Dispute

Accept, and find disputes.

WebService::Braintree::DocumentUpload

Manage document uploads.

WebService::Braintree::EuropeBankAccount

Find Europe Bank Accounts.

WebService::Braintree::IdealPayment

Find IdealPayment payment methods.

WebService::Braintree::Merchant

Provision merchants from "raw ApplePay".

WebService::Braintree::MerchantAccount

Create, update, and find merchant accounts.

WebService::Braintree::PaymentMethod

Create, update, delete, and find payment methods.

WebService::Braintree::PaymentMethodNonce

Create, update, delete, and find payment method nonces.

WebService::Braintree::PayPalAccount

Find and update PayPal accounts.

WebService::Braintree::Plan

List all subscription plans.

WebService::Braintree::SettlementBatchSummary

Generate settlement batch summaries.

WebService::Braintree::Subscription

Create, update, cancel, find, and handle charges for subscriptions.

WebService::Braintree::Transaction

Create, manage, and search for transactions. This is the workhorse class and it has many methods.

WebService::Braintree::TransactionLineItem

Find all the transaction line-items.

WebService::Braintree::TransparentRedirect

Manage the transparent redirection of ????.

NOTE: This class needs significant help in documentation.

WebService::Braintree::UsBankAccount

Find US Bank Accounts.

SEARCHING

Several of the interfaces provide a search() method. This method is unique in that it takes a subroutine reference (subref) instead of a hashref or other parameters.

Example

my $results = WebService::Braintree::Transaction->search(sub {
    my $search = shift;
    $search->amount->between(10, 20);
});

Additional Documentation

The various field types are documenated at WebService::Braintree::AdvancedSearchNodes.

RESPONSES

Responses from the interface methods will either be a Result or an ErrorResult. You can distinguish between them by calling $result->is_success.

Success

If the request is successful, Braintee will reply back and you will receive (in most cases) a "WebService::Braintree::Result" in result object. This object will allow you to access the various components of the response.

In some cases, you will receive something different. Those cases are documented in the method itself.

Failure

If there is an issue with the request, Braintree will reply back and you will receive a "WebService::Braintree::ErrorResult" in ErrorResult object. It will contain a "WebService::Braintree::ValidationErrorCollection" in collection of "WebService::Braintree::Error" in errors explaining each issue with the request.

ISSUES

Patches welcome!

CONTRIBUTING

Contributions are welcome. The process:

Submissions

Please fork this repository on Github, create a branch, then submit a pull request from that branch to the master of this repository. All other submissions will be summarily rejected.

Developer Environment

We use Docker to encapsulate the developer environment. There is a Bash script in the root called run_tests that provides an entrypoint to how this project uses Docker. The sequence is:

run_tests build

This will build the Docker developer environment for each Perl version listed in PERL_VERSIONS

run_tests unit [ command ]

This will run the unit tests for each Perl version listed in PERL_VERSIONS. You can provide a prove command to limit which test(s) you run.

run_tests integration [ command ]

This will run the sandbox tests for each Perl version listed in PERL_VERSIONS. You can provide a prove command to limit which test(s) you run.

run_tests cover

This will run the all the tests for each Perl version listed in PERL_VERSIONS and calculate the coverage.

You can optionally select a Perl version or versions (5.10 through 5.24) to run the command against by setting the PERL_VERSIONS environment variable. Use a space to separate multiple versions.

This Bash script has been tested to work in Linux, OSX, and GitBash on Windows.

Signup

Navigate to https://www.braintreepayments.com/sandbox. Enter your first name, last name, Company name of "WebService::Braintree", your country, and your email address.

Activate your account

You will receive an email to the address you provided which will contain a link. Click on it and you'll sent to a page where you will be asked for a password.

Create a sandbox_config.json

On the dashboard page of your new sandbox account, three are three values you will need to put into a sandbox_config.json. The format of the file must be:

{
  "merchant_id": "<< value 1 >>",
  "public_key": "<< value 2 >>",
  "private_key": "<< value 3 >>"
}

replacing what's in the double-quotes with the appropriate values from your Braintree sandbox's dashboard.

You'll need to follow the instructions at https://developers.braintreepayments.com/guides/paypal/testing-go-live/ruby#linked-paypal-testing. This is required for some of the integration tests to pass.

Within Setting > Processing, select "Link your sandbox" within the PayPal section.

Once at the Paypal Developer Dashboard:

  • My Apps & Credentials

  • Rest Apps

  • Create new App

  • Give it a name

  • Copy the information requested back to Braintree

Run the tests

You can now run the integration tests with run_tests integration. These tests will take between 5 and 20 minutes.

TODO/WISHLIST/ROADMAP

Many of the integration tests are still skipped.
There aren't enough unit tests.
The documentation is still sparse, especially for the PURPOSE sections.
