Isurvey

Gem for interacting with iSurvey's SOAP api.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'isurvey'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install isurvey

You must set up your company identifier and survey password. Perhaps in config/initializers/isurvey.rb if you are using Rails.

Isurvey::Credentials.company_identifier = [cp]
Isurvey::Credentials.survey_password = [sp]

Before being used, the API must be loaded. This can be done in your initialzer or in any other place you see fit.

Isurvey::API.load

Usage

There are questions and answers. Questions are available through Isurvey::Question and answers are available through Isurvey::Answer.

To get a list of all questions:

Isurvey::Question.all

To get a list of all answers:

Isurvey::Answer.all

All of the properties available through the iSurvey API are also available through the gem. You obtain a property value by calling for it on the appropriate class; for example, Isurvey::Answer.first.screen_id would give you the screen_id of the first Answer.

For questions, the available properties are:

:screen_id, :question_number, :screen_id_next, :show_labels, :selectable_images, :screen_text, :screen_instructions, :theme_class_id, :screen_options, :answers, :questions

For answers, the available properties are:

:screen_id, :question_id, :answer_id, :result_answer, :response_date

Any property can also be used to find on either questions or answers. For example:

Isurvey::Question.find_by_screen_id(:id)
Isurvey::Answer.find_by_question_id(:id)

You can query a question for its answers, or an answer for its question.

Isurvey::Question.first.answers
Isurvey::Answer.first.question

You can also find answers by result id.

Isurvey::Question.first.answers_by_result_id(:id)
Isurvey::Answer.by_result_id(:id)

Questions and Answers have shortcut methods that allow you to query for the first or some index:

Isurvey::Question.first
Isurvey::Answer[10]

You can also get direct access to the API.

Get a list of the result ids:

Isurvey::API.result_ids

These are also available, though I advise against using them unless there is a good reason:

Isurvey::API.questions
Isurvey::API.answers
