[ANN] Shipping for Ruby

Lucas Carlson

Shipping is a module that connects APIs for various shippers like UPS
and FedEx. It is available as a ruby gem:

gem install shipping

or from rubyforge

http://rubyforge.org/project...

There is going to be some data that will persist for all shipments. For
example, you will not want to repeat the fedex account number every
time in your implementation code. To set default values, setup a file
called .shipping.yml in the home directory of the user who will be
using this library. An example file would be:

fedex_url: https://url/to/fedex/api
fedex_account: 1234556
fedex_meter: 387878

ups_account: 7B4F74E3075AEEFF
ups_user: username
ups_password: password

You can set as many default values as you would like in this file.

require 'shipping'

ups = Shipping::UPS.new :zip => 97202, :sender_zip => 10001,
:weight => 2
ups.price => 8.77
ups.valid_address? => false

ups.city = "Portland"
ups.valid_address? => true

Alternately, you can instantiate the base class and then see both UPS
and FedEx information.

ship = Shipping::Base.new :zip => 97202, :state => "OR",
:sender_zip => 10001, :weight => 2
ship.ups.price => 8.77
ship.fedex.price => 5.17

ship.city = "Portland"
ship.ups.valid_address? => true

I hope you enjoy this library,

Great! Does this include tracking?

It will soon. Feel free to chip in patches by working on the subversion
trunk:

I will note it here, just in case: I tentatively promised
to write the code for USPS shipping (and will try to do so
as soon as I get the appropriate permissions from them).
