## What it is
A Ruby gem providing WeChat Official Account and Mini Program API integration for Rails applications, including message sending/receiving, JS-SDK signature, and OAuth 2.0 authentication. It also ships a `wechat` CLI command for interacting with the WeChat API from the console without running a web server.

## Use cases
- integrate WeChat Official Account messaging into a Rails app
- handle incoming WeChat messages and events in a controller
- add WeChat OAuth 2.0 login to a Rails application
- generate JS-SDK config signatures for WeChat web pages
- send WeChat template or customer service messages from the console
- build a WeChat mini program backend in Ruby
- test WeChat API calls quickly via a CLI without a running server

## When to choose
- you are building a Rails (or Ruby) backend for a WeChat Official Account or Mini Program
- you need both message handling and OAuth in one gem
- you want a CLI to poke at the WeChat API during development

## When to avoid
- your project is not Ruby/Rails based
- you need WeChat Pay features (use the wechat-starter demo or a payment SDK instead)
- you need a framework-agnostic or non-Rails Sinatra-style integration
