Coupons is a Rails engine for creating discount coupons.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'coupons'

You also need one pagination library. You can choose between paginate or kaminari, so make sure one of these libs is added to your Gemfile as well.

gem 'paginate'
# or
gem 'kaminari'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install coupons

Usage

After installing Coupons, add the following line to your config/routes.rb file.

mount Coupons::Engine => '/', as: 'coupons_engine'

You can visit /coupons to access the dashboard.

Creating coupons

There are two types of coupons: percentage or amount.

  • percentage: applies the percentage discount to total amount.
  • amount: applies the amount discount to the total amount.

Defining the coupon code format

The coupon code is generated with Coupons.configuration.generator. By default, it creates a 6-chars long uppercased alpha-numeric code. You can use any object that implements the call method and returns a string. The following implementation generates coupon codes like AWESOME-B7CB.

Coupons.configure do |config|
  config.generator = proc do
    token = SecureRandom.hex[0, 4].upcase
    "AWESOME-#{token}"
  end
end

You can always override the generated coupon code through the dashboard or Ruby.

Working with coupons

Imagine that you created the coupon RAILSCONF15 as a $100 discount; you can apply it to any amount using the Coupons.apply method. Notice that this method won't redeem the coupon code and it's supposed to be used on the checkout page.

Coupons.apply('RAILSCONF15', amount: 600.00)
#=> {:amount => 600.0, :discount => 100.0, :total => 500.0}

When a coupon is invalid/non-redeemable, it returns the discount amount as 0.

Coupons.apply('invalid', amount: 100.00)
#=> {:amount => 100.0, :discount => 0, :total => 100.0}

To redeem the coupon you can use Coupon.redeem.

Coupons.redeem('RAILSCONF15', amount: 600.00)
#=> {:amount => 600.0, :discount => 100.0, :total => 500.0}

coupon = Coupons::Models::Coupon.last

coupon.redemptions_count
#=> 1

coupon.redemptions
#=> [#<Coupons::Models::CouponRedemption:0x0000010e388290>]

Defining the coupon finder strategy

By default, the first redeemable coupon is used. You can set any of the following strategies.

  • Coupons::Finders::FirstAvailable: returns the first redeemable coupon available.
  • Coupons::Finders::SmallerDiscount: returns the smaller redeemable discount available.
  • Coupons::Finders::LargerDiscount: returns the larger redeemable discount available.

To define a different strategy, set the Coupons.configurable.finder attribute.

Coupons.configure do |config|
  config.finder = Coupons::Finders::SmallerDiscount
end

A finder can be any object that receives the coupon code and the options (which must include the amount key). Here's how the smaller discount finder is implemented.

module Coupons
  module Finders
    SmallerDiscount = proc do |code, options = {}|
      coupons = Models::Coupon.where(code: code).all.select(&:redeemable?)

      coupons.min do |a, b|
        a = a.apply(options)
        b = b.apply(options)

        a[:discount] <=> b[:discount]
      end
    end
  end
end

Injecting helper methods

The whole coupon interaction can be made through some helpers methods. You can extend any object with Coupons::Helpers module. So do it in your initializer file or in your controller, whatever suits you best.

coupons = Object.new.extend(Coupons::Helpers)

Now you can do all the interactions through the coupons variable.

Authorizing access to the dashboard

Coupons has a flexible authorization system, meaning you can do whatever you want. All you have to do is defining the authorization strategy by setting Coupons.configuration.authorizer. By default, it disables access to the production environment, as you can see below.

Coupons.configure do |config|
  config.authorizer = proc do |controller|
    if Rails.env.production?
      controller.render(
        text: 'Coupons: not enabled in production environments',
        status: 403
      )
    end
  end
end

To define your own strategy, like doing basic authentication, you can do something like this:

Coupons.configure do |config|
  config.authorizer = proc do |controller|
    controller.authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |user, password|
      user == 'admin' && password == 'sekret'
    end
  end
end

Attaching coupons to given records

Creating complex discount rules

To be written.

JSON endpoint

You may want to apply discounts using AJAX, so you can give instant feedback. In this case, you'll find the /coupons/apply endpoint useful.

var response = $.get('/coupons/apply', {amount: 600.0, coupon: 'RAILSCONF15'});
response.done(function(options)) {
  console.log(options);
  //=> {amount: 600.0, discount: 100.0, total: 500.0}
});

If you provide invalid amount/coupon, then it'll return zero values, like {amount: 0, discount: 0, total: 0}.

I18n support

Coupons uses I18n. It has support for en and pt-BR. You can contribute with your language by translating the file config/en.yml.
