The official PassKit C# wrapper class is now available. This makes it even quicker and easier to access the PassKit API via C#.
Follow the 10 Easy steps to create a new C# Project with PassKit API Wrapper support:
- Download & unzip the contents of ‘PassKit CSharp API Wrapper v0.2.zip’ into a (new) folder;
- Create a new Project in Visual Studio;
- Open solution explorer;
- Right click ‘References’;
- Click ‘Add Reference’;
- Click ‘Browse’;
- Go to the folder where you unzipped the files in step 1;
- Add references to both ‘PassKitAPIWrapper.dll’ & ‘RestSharp.dll’;
- Make sure you add ‘using PassKitAPIWrapper;’ to the top of your CSharp file;
- Good to go!;
Examples:
List templates
string apiAccount = 'accountname'; string apiSecret = 'apisecret'; PassKit pk = new PassKit(apiAccount, apiSecret); PassKitResponse result = pk.GetTemplates(); // Do something with result Dictionary
Get passes for template
string apiAccount = 'accountname'; string apiSecret = 'apisecret'; PassKit pk = new PassKit(apiAccount, apiSecret); PassKitResponse result = pk.GetPasses("Lesson package"); // Do something with result Dictionary
Update template
string apiAccount = 'accountname'; string apiSecret = 'apisecret'; // Create Dictionary with template fields you want to update Dictionary fields = new Dictionary(); fields["Terms_label"] = "Terms & Sausages"; PassKit pk = new PassKit(apiAccount, apiSecret); PassKitResponse result = pk.UpdateTemplate("Lesson package", fields); // Do something with result Dictionary
Issue pass for template
string apiAccount = 'accountname'; string apiSecret = 'apisecret'; // Create Dictionary with pass fields Dictionary fields = new Dictionary(); fields["Student name"] = "Test student"; fields["Balance"] = "10"; fields["Issue date"] = "2013-03-26"; fields["Expiry date"] = "2014-03-26"; PassKit pk = new PassKit(apiAccount, apiSecret); PassKitResponse result = pk.IssuePass("Lesson package", fields); // Do something with result Dictionary
Get pass details (via template & serial)
string apiAccount = 'accountname'; string apiSecret = 'apisecret'; PassKit pk = new PassKit(apiAccount, apiSecret); PassKitResponse result = pk.GetPassDetails("Lesson package", "12345678900000"); // Do something with result Dictionary
Get pass details (via unique pass-id)
string apiAccount = 'accountname'; string apiSecret = 'apisecret'; PassKit pk = new PassKit(apiAccount, apiSecret); PassKitResponse result = pk.GetPassDetails("JCecLdsk9mmC"); // Do something with result Dictionary
Update pass (via template & serial)
// Create Dictionary with pass fields Dictionary fields = new Dictionary(); fields["Balance"] = "5"; PassKit pk = new PassKit(apiAccount, apiSecret); PassKitResponse result = pk.UpdatePass("Lesson package", "12345678900000", fields); // Do something with result Dictionary
Update pass (via unique pass-id)
// Create Dictionary with pass fields Dictionary fields = new Dictionary(); fields["Balance"] = "5"; PassKit pk = new PassKit(apiAccount, apiSecret); PassKitResponse result = pk.UpdatePass("JCecLdsk9mmC", fields); // Do something with result Dictionary
The C# API Wrapper currently only supports the basic methods. Support for the other API methods will be added on regular basis.
Check readme.txt in ‘PassKit CSharp API Wrapper v0.2.zip’ for a list of supported methods.
Full code repository with example project can be found at our Google code-base.
