payfast 1.0.6

# Payfast Payfast is a Ruby gem that simplifies the process of integrating the PayFast payment gateway into your Ruby on Rails application. It provides a generator that helps scaffold the necessary configuration, routes, models, and controllers required to integrate PayFast seamlessly. ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ```bash bundle add payfast ``` Or install it yourseld as: ```bash gem install payfast ``` ## Usage ```bash rails generate payfast:install ``` ## This generator will perform the following actions: insert config/routes.rb create app/controllers/carts_controller.rb create app/views/carts/index.html.erb create app/views/carts/make_payment.html.erb create app/helpers/carts_helper.rb create db/migrate/20230824105530_create_carts.rb create config/payfast.yml create app/models/cart.rb insert app/views/layouts/application.html.erb insert config/environments/development.rb ## Additional configuration Setup payfast credentials for your environment rails EDITOR="code --wait" bin/rails credentials:edit This will allow you to securely edit and store your credentials. once you save and exit the file, the credentials will be encrypted and can only be accessed withe rails master key. payfast: merchant_id: {your_merchant_id} merchant_key: {your_merchant_key} passphrase: {{your_passphrase}} ## Update your `payfast.yml` config file - setup the credentials to be use by the rails app - uncomment `Rails.application.credentials.payfast.merchant_id ` and wrap it in erb tags as instructed in the comments. ## Templates Update the `make_payment.html.erb` as instructed in the file. it should look like so: ```js // set the uuid to uuid = @cart.payment_uid. surround @carts.payment_uid with erb tags const uuid = `<%= @cart.payment_uuid %>` window.payfast_do_onsite_payment({uuid}, function (result) { if (result === true) { // redirect success_path(@cart) window.location.href = `<%= success_cart_path(@cart) %>` } else { // Redirect to failure_path(@cart) window.location.href = `<%= failure_cart_path(@cart) %>` } }); ``` ## Testing - payfast api allows only SSL communication from your server. inorder to test locally. you will have to use a tunneling service that allows you to expose your local development server to the internet. your rails development config has was modified by the generator to allow ngrok hosts to hit your rails server ```ruby config.hosts << /[a-z0-9-]+\.ngrok-free\.app/ ``` ## Contributing Thank you for considering contributing to our project!
