mpesa-rust
About
An unofficial Rust wrapper around the Safaricom API for accessing M-Pesa services.
Install
Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
mpesa = { version = "1" }
Optionally, you can disable default-features, which is basically the entire suite of MPESA APIs to conditionally select individual features. (See Services table for the full list of Cargo features)
Example:
[dependencies]
mpesa = { version = "1", default_features = false, features = ["b2b", "express_request"] }
In your lib or binary crate:
use mpesa::Mpesa;
Usage
Creating a Mpesa
client
You will first need to create an instance of the Mpesa
instance (the client). You are required to provide a CONSUMER_KEY and
CONSUMER_SECRET. Here is how you can get these credentials for the Safaricom sandbox
environment. It's worth noting that these credentials are only valid in the sandbox environment. To go live and get production keys
read the docs here.
These are the following ways you can instantiate Mpesa
:
use mpesa::{Mpesa, Environment};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
dotenvy::dotenv().ok();
let client = Mpesa::new(
dotenvy::var("CONSUMER_KEY").unwrap(),
dotenvy::var("CONSUMER_SECRET").unwrap(),
Environment::Sandbox,
);
assert!(client.is_connected().await);
}
Since the Environment
enum implements FromStr
and TryFrom
for String
and &str
types, you can call Environment::from_str
or Environment::try_from
to create an Environment
type. This is ideal if the environment values are
stored in a .env
or any other configuration file:
use mpesa::{Mpesa, Environment};
use std::convert::TryFrom;
use std::error::Error;
use std::str::FromStr;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
dotenvy::dotenv().ok();
let client = Mpesa::new(
dotenvy::var("CONSUMER_KEY").unwrap(),
dotenvy::var("CONSUMER_SECRET").unwrap(),
Environment::from_str("sandbox")?, // or
// Environment::try_from("sandbox")?,
);
assert!(client.is_connected().await);
Ok(())
}
The Mpesa
struct's environment
parameter is generic over any type that implements the ApiEnvironment
trait. This trait
expects the following methods to be implemented for a given type:
pub trait ApiEnvironment {
fn base_url(&self) -> &str;
fn get_certificate(&self) -> &str;
}
This trait allows you to create your own type to pass to the environment
parameter. With this in place, you are able to mock http requests (for testing purposes) from the MPESA api by returning a mock server uri from the base_url
method as well as using your own certificates, required to sign select requests to the MPESA api, by providing your own get_certificate
implementation.
See the example below (and here so see how the trait is implemented for the Environment
enum):
use mpesa::{Mpesa, ApiEnvironment};
#[derive(Clone)]
pub struct CustomEnvironment;
impl ApiEnvironment for CustomEnvironment {
fn base_url(&self) -> &str {
// your base url here
"https://your_base_url.com"
}
fn get_certificate(&self) -> &str {
// your certificate here
r#"..."#
}
}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
dotenvy::dotenv().ok();
let client = Mpesa::new(
dotenvy::var("CONSUMER_KEY").unwrap(),
dotenvy::var("CONSUMER_SECRET").unwrap(),
CustomEnvironment,
);
}
If you intend to use in production, you will need to call a the set_initiator_password
method from Mpesa
after initially
creating the client. Here you provide your initiator password, which overrides the default password used in sandbox "Safcom496!"
:
use mpesa::{Mpesa, Environment};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
dotenvy::dotenv().ok();
let client = Mpesa::new(
dotenvy::var("CONSUMER_KEY").unwrap(),
dotenvy::var("CONSUMER_SECRET").unwrap(),
Environment::Sandbox,
);
client.set_initiator_password("new_password");
assert!(client.is_connected().await)
}
