# Mpx

**Elixir wrapper for the Ministry Platform REST API**

## Installation

If [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed
by adding `mpx` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:mpx, "~> 0.1.10"}
  ]
end
```

The only required configuration is the base url of your MP instance:
```elixir
config :mpx,
  mp_base_url: System.get_env("MP_BASE_URL"),

```

## Running Integration Tests
First create a `integration.exs` in the config folder. Populate with:
```elixir
use Mix.Config

config :mpx,
  mp_base_url: System.get_env("MP_BASE_URL"),
  mp_username: "a_real_username",
  mp_password: "a_real_password",
  mp_client_id: "a_real_client_id",
  mp_client_secret: "a_real_client_secret"
```

Now run
```bash
MIX_ENV=integration mix test --only integration
```

## Usage

Currently only a few endpoints are supported:
  * `/tables` (get and delete)
  * `/tables/:id` (get)

Set configuration options to authenticate with MP in your config.exs. You can use
`{:system, "ENV_NAME"}` for runtime configuration.
```elixir
config :mpx,
  mp_base_url: {:system, "MP_HOST"},
  mp_username: System.get_env("MP_USERNAME"),
  mp_password: {:system, "MP_PASSWORD"},
  mp_client_id: {:system, "MP_CLIENT_ID"},
  mp_client_secret: {:system, "MP_CLIENT_SECRET"}
```
Now call
```elixir
  {:ok, token} = Mpx.Authentication.authenticate()
```
to get a reuseable authentication token.

If you prefer not to use elixir configuration to setup you user credentials:
```elixir
  {:ok, token} = Mpx.Authentication.authenticate(username: "username", password: "password", client_id: "clientid", client_secret: "clientsecret")
```
