Avatax Client

Pure Scala library for interaction with Avatax APIs.

Project is split into following modules:

• core - Zero-dependency project - Scala ADT of data transfer objects. Based on docs & official sdk.
• client - akka-http + play-json client for AvaTax
• play-json - formats and derivation for AvaTax data types

Installation

Add following to your build.sbt

resolvers in Global += Resolver.url("upstartcommerce", url("https://upstartcommerce.bintray.com/generic"))(Resolver.ivyStylePatterns)

libraryDependencies += "org.upstartcommerce" %% "avataxsdk-client" % "0.0.8" // or whatever latest version is

// or if you want ONLY data model
// libraryDependencies += "org.upstartcommerce" %% "avataxsdk-core" % "0.0.8"

Usage

Basic usage is:

  implicit val sys: ActorSystem       = ActorSystem()
  implicit val mat: ActorMaterializer = ActorMaterializer()
  val client = AvataxClient(...)

  /** request a result  */
  val valid = client.taxRates.byPostalCode("US", "35802")
  val invalid = client.taxRates.byPostalCode("USUS", "123123123123")
  val req:Future[Either[ErrorInfo, TaxRateModel]]  = invalid().map(Right.apply).recover {
    case AvataxException(ErrorResult(Some(e))) => Left(e)
  }


  /** stream by batch sizes of 50 */
  val streamReq = client.definitions.listCurrencies(FiltrableQueryOptions().withTop(50)).stream
  streamReq.runForeach(x => println(x))

See example sub project for more examples.

There is a good reference for data model here

Please avoid blocking (awaiting) on futures from this api.

Compilation

First full compilation will take a long time (+-10minutes) due to huge amount of api surface area - data types available, for which json has to be derived. Followup incremental compilations should be fast.

Look ahead

Currently, client is hardcoded to both akka-http and play-json. Especially with json we may swap it down the line (it's a separate module already).
