The official ShopifyAPI gem works well if you are writing a private app. However, if you are writing an app that works with multiple shops, it doesn't work so well. The official client was written using ActiveResource, and ActiveResource was never designed for multiple stores.
Furthermore, the Shopify API rate limit uses custom headers to inform the client when things are getting close.
Finally, for some apps, a representation layer is not necessary.
This is an UNOFFICIAL gem. It is not written by Shopify. This gem is intended to:
- Thread-safe, without resorting to thread-safe class attributes
- Built on Faraday, so that backends and middleware can be customized
- Stay in it's own namespace so you can run this along side the official gem
What this gem will not do:
- Convert data into resource objects. Use [roarify https://github.com/fighella/roarify] if you need that.
- Solve all your problems. This was written for Shopapps for our needs. We welcome Pull Requests though, and may expand the scope of the project.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
