PatreonEx

This is an incomplete for the Patreon V2 API. Not all endpoints have wrapper functions yet.

For setup:

• You must first register a client on Patreon, when doing this select Client API V2.

The workflow is:

1. Run Patreon.Impl.authothorize_url/3 with the desired scopes
2. Go to the generated link and login or click "Allow"
3. Pass the code parameter from the redirected URL into Patreon.validate_code/1 and copy the access_token from the response
4. Pass the access_token into Patreon.get_user/1 or Patreon.get_campaigns/1

Please note at this stage you will have to reference the API docs to know what params you can pass into the get_* functions.

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding patreon_ex to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:patreon_ex, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

After importing you put your API secrets in a config file (that is in your .gitignore) and define wrapper functions for authorize_url/2, authorize_url/3, and validate_code/4.

For example:

def authorize_url(scope) do
  PatreonEx.authorize_url(
    scope,
    Application.get_env(:patreon_ex, :redirect_uri),
    Application.get_env(:patreon_ex, :client_id)
    )
end

Documentation can be generated with ExDoc and published on HexDocs. Once published, the docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/patreon_ex.
