About

A Rust wrapper around the Safaricom API for accessing M-Pesa services.

Notes

Warning! WIP, not production ready

Install & Usage

Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
mpesa = "0.2.2"

In your lib or binary crate:

use mpesa::Mpesa;

Usage

Creating a `Client`

You will first need to create an instance of the Mpesa instance (the client). You are required to provide a CLIENT_KEY and CLIENT_SECRET. Here is how you can get these credentials for the Safaricom sandbox environment.

NOTE: only calling unwrap for demonstration purposes. Errors are handled appropriately in the lib via the MpesaError enum.

There are two ways you can instantiate Mpesa:

use mpesa::{Mpesa, Environment};
use std::env;

let client = Mpesa::new(
      env::var("CLIENT_KEY")?,
      env::var("CLIENT_SECRET")?,
      Environment::Sandbox,
);
assert!(client.is_connected().unwrap())

Since the Environment enum implements FromStr, you can pass the name of the environment as a &str and call the parse() method to create an Enviroment type from the string slice:

use mpesa::Mpesa;
use std::env;

let client = Mpesa::new(
      env::var("CLIENT_KEY")?,
      env::var("CLIENT_SECRET")?,
      "sandbox".parse()?,
);
assert!(client.is_connected().unwrap())

Services

The following services are currently available from the Mpesa client as methods that return builders:

let response = client
    .b2c("testapi496")
    .parties("600496", "254708374149")
    .urls("https://testdomain.com/err", "https://testdomain.com/res")
    .amount(1000)
    .send();
assert!(response.is_ok())

let response = client
    .b2b("testapi496")
    .parties("600496", "600000")
    .urls("https://testdomain.com/err", "https://testdomain.com/api")
    .account_ref("254708374149")
    .amount(1000)
    .send();
assert!(response.is_ok())

C2B Register

let response = client
    .c2b_register()
    .short_code("600496")
    .confirmation_url("https://testdomain.com/true")
    .validation_url("https://testdomain.com/valid")
    .send();
assert!(response.is_ok())

C2B Simulate


let response = client
    .c2b_simulate()
    .short_code("600496")
    .msisdn("254700000000")
    .amount(1000)
    .send();
assert!(response.is_ok())

Account Balance

let response = client
    .account_balance("testapi496")
    .urls("https://testdomain.com/err", "https://testdomain.com/ok")
    .party_a("600496")
    .send();
assert!(response.is_ok())

More will be added progressively, pull requests welcome
