Accessing the response variables

[tomblomfield-zz]

I'm not sure if I'm getting confused, but I'm struggling to access attributes of Paypal response in a clean way

Eg
ipn = PaypalAdaptive::IpnNotification.new
ipn.send_back(env['rack.request.form_vars'])
if ipn.verified? #do some stuff.

But then if I want to know about the "status" attribute, I have to call
params["status"].

This seems wrong? Shouldn't I be able to access the attributes through the ipn object?

Me to, and i still did not find any solution, Ipn notification is returned as object and i don't know objects attributes... :(

If you're using RoR the response of of the IPN will be in params. paypal_adaptive doesn't 'wrap' this for you, all the hard work is already done!

def my_callback
logger.error params.inspect
logger.error "sweet it worked!" if params["status"] == "COMPLETED" 
end

here is an example params hash if you are interested

{"transaction"=>
      {"0"=>
        {".is_primary_receiver"=>"true", 
          ".id_for_sender_txn"=>"0D1051131N314315E", 
          ".receiver"=>"[email protected]", 
          ".amount"=>"USD 50.00", ".status"=>"Completed", 
          ".id"=>"4WF324015C547172T", 
          ".status_for_sender_txn"=>"Completed", 
          ".paymentType"=>"SERVICE", 
          ".pending_reason"=>"NONE"}, 
      "1"=>
        {".paymentType"=>"SERVICE",

ipn = PaypalAdaptive::IpnNotification.new
ipn.send_back(request.raw_post)
#_________________________________-Data
ipn.txn_id = params['pay_key']
ipn.save
...
still blank, only timestamps

tzoro, are you running your code inside a rails action?

@rromanchuk But how does one access params["transaction"]["0"][".id_for_sender_txn"] ???
params['transaction[0].id'] doesn't work
params[:transaction[0].id] doesn't work
Please help.

[rchekaluk]

@mihirjb Use:

params['transaction']['0']['.id_for_sender_txn']
