@lorenstuff/paypal-api v1.0.1

PayPalClient API

A class for interacting with the PayPal API.

I made this package because PayPal does not provide a complete solution for doing this and their docs are sorely lacking in quality.

Note: This package is in alpha and there may be breaking changes before Major Version 1.0. If you do decide to use it, I suggest you pin your dependency at a specific version and carefully investigate changelogs.

Installation

Install the package with NPM:

npm install @lorenstuff/paypal-api

Documentation

To use the package, simply import the PayPalClient class and create an instance of it with your PayPal Client ID and Secret. You will also need to specify whether the credentials are for sandbox mode or live mode:

import { PayPalClient } from "@lorenstuff/paypal-api";

const payPalClient = new PayPalClient(
	{
		sandbox: true,
		clientId: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE",
		secret: "YOUR_SECRET_HERE",
	});

Once you have an instance of the class, you can use it to instantiate clients for various PayPal APIs such as the Orders API or the Webhooks Management API:

import { PayPalOrdersClient } from "@lorenstuff/paypal-api";

const payPalOrdersClient = new PayPalOrdersClient(
	{
		payPalClient,
	});

// call stuff on payPalOrdersClient such as createOrder or showOrderDetails

Each client implements at least part of its respective API. API coverage information can be found in the next section.

API Coverage

Currently, this library only covers portions of PayPal's API.

Portions not covered by the classes and types provided in this package can be manually accessed using the request method of a PayPalClient instance.
