vat_layer

Ruby wrapper for vatlayer of apilayer. See https://vatlayer.com/ and http://apilayer.com for more details.

This is a fork of the original gem vat_layer to work under Ruby 3.0

Installation

Using Bundler

Add vat_layer-ruby-3 in your Gemfile:

gem 'vat_layer-ruby-3', '~> 1.0'

Usage

Add to your application

require "vat_layer"

Set up vat_layer

Once you have signed up for vatlayer.com, you will receive an access_key. Then configure your Apilayer::Vat module like this:

Apilayer::Vat.configure do |configs|
  configs.access_key = "my_access_key_123"
  configs.https = true
end

Please note that the https configuration is optional and only available to paid-accounts. If unset, these configuration-values are just nil.

You can always review you configurations with:

Apilayer::Vat.configs

Once your configurations are set, you are ready to go

vatlayer

After setting the access_key for vatlayer, you can use Apilayer::Vat to call vatlayer's API

Apilayer::Vat.validate("LU26375245")
Apilayer::Vat.rate(:country_code, "NL")
Apilayer::Vat.rate(:ip_address, "176.249.153.36")
Apilayer::Vat.rate_list
Apilayer::Vat.price(100, :country, "NL")
Apilayer::Vat.price(100, :ip_address, "176.249.153.36")

Re-Configure access_key and https

If you happened to have forgotten to set or entered an incorrect value, you can re-configure your Apilayer module by:

# Example: reconfigure https
Apilayer::Vat.configure do |configs|
  configs.https = true
end
