This is a sample app that will connect with the oauth provider to access Veteran Claims APIs.
Set up your API credentials at the Developer Portal. The callback for this app to work needs to be http://localhost:3000/callback.
The sample app uses the default SQLite database setup and rails db:migrate will generate the sqlite3 file with the table needed to run the app. The app expects the file config/application.yml to contain a key for va_developer_client_id and va_developer_client_secret. config/application.yml.EXAMPLE is an example config (to make sure the credentials file remains untracked in git). To use it, make a copy without the .EXAMPLE extension and fill in your credentials.
The home page will show an "Oauth Login" button. That will take you to the VA sign-in page. You can use a test login. Once logged in, you will be able to see the claims for a logged in veteran, submit an intent to file, view supporting documents for a claim.
Once a valid session has been created, you can use rails console to explore the API through code. Find a Session in the database that is not expired then you can use the _response methods to see the HTTParty::Response object returned when accessing that API. Calling .body on the response will give the raw JSON string, but [] can be used on the response object to access values in the response as a hash.
Ex: Session.last.veteran_verification.confirmed_status_response['data']['attributes']['veteran_status'] will return "confirmed" (if the veteran status is confirmed).
