stripe-cli VS stripe-ruby

I've always found this to be a very useful practice. Many projects have a few core files (or packages / modules / whatever) where most of the changes happen. Being able to familiarize new contributors (or old returning ones) with those quickly really helps the startup time on a project.

I've added architecture files to projects at multiple jobs now [0], [1] and they've been well received. They're not perfect, but they're better than nothing.

Stripe CLI

Before getting started with this, make sure that you have the Stripe CLI installed. Click me

You'll need the Stripe CLI installed.

The easiest way is to use stripe cli. You can download it here.

​ We use CLIs to perform quick actions from the comfort of our terminals and automate recurring tasks. You might use the GitLab CLI to submit your code in a merge request, so the team can review it and include it in the next release, for example. Many other developer platforms like AWS, Stripe, Sentry, and CircleCI offer CLIs as well. ​ Connecting a CLI to your online account often involves generating API access keys in a browser, then pasting those values into the terminal. Those credentials are usually saved in a plaintext config file that gives the CLI persistent access to your account, even after reboots. But if an attacker or process gains access to your system, they have the same level of access to your account that you do. ​ We built 1Password Shell Plugins so you can securely store all of your access keys in encrypted 1Password vaults, rather than on disk. When you use a Shell Plugin for a particular service, access to the associated API keys is restricted to your specific terminal session. ​ Because they're saved in 1Password, you can securely sign in to any CLI with your fingerprint or another form of biometrics. If the service supports it, MFA codes can be filled automatically – so there’s no need to pull out your phone multiple times every day. ​ In fact, there’s no need to type anything. No plaintext, no typing passwords, no hassle – you can stay in the zone and focus on the task at hand. ​

The Stripe CLI (command line interface) and Stripe for VS Code extension are essential tools when you’re building, testing and managing your Stripe integration. In this article you’ll learn about the powerful features of the Stripe CLI and how you can leverage those features both on the command line and via the VS Code extension.

You can test locally with the stripe CLI tool https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-cli, that sends the webhook info through localhost.

Use the stripe-ruby SDK to interact with the Stripe API.

New API version released: Version 2022-08-01 of the Stripe API has been released along with major version upgrades to all official client libraries, namely Dotnet, Go, Java, PHP, Node, Python, and Ruby. Read more about breaking changes in the API upgrades section and how to upgrade.

Stripe has seven main client libraries — Ruby, PHP, Python, Node, .NET, Go, and Java — and we wanted to give junior developers a foundation of broadly applicable knowledge to help them in all of their Stripe development going forward.
