goodscloud v0.0.5

GoodsCloud API client in JavaScript for Node.js

Installation

Install the latest stable release of this module from npmjs.org:

npm install goodscloud

Or install the development version from github.com with:

npm install git+https://github.com/goodscloud/goodscloud-node.git

Requirements

This package depends on the utf8 package and the request package by Mikeal Rogers. These should be downloaded and installed by npm when installing this package, but if they are not, install them with:

npm install utf8
npm install request

Usage

Use the client like this:

var Client = require('goodscloud');
var c = new Client('http://sandbox.goodscloud.com');
c.login('me@mycompany.com', 'PASSWORD',
    function () {
        console.info("Logged in as", c.email);
        c.get('/api/internal/company', {flat: true}, function (data) {
            console.info(data);
        });
    }
);

Call signatures

Function calls corresponding to HTTP method verbs have different optional arguments. In all cases, providing a callback is optional. If no callback is provided, the request will be executed but the response data will be discarded.

• Client.get() allows the following call signatures:
  • get(endpoint);
  • get(endpoint, params);
  • get(endpoint, callback);
  • get(endpoint, params, callback);
• Client.put() and Client.post() always require a data argument to be provided. They allow the following call signatures:
  • func(endpoint, data);
  • func(endpoint, params, data);
  • func(endpoint, data, callback);
  • func(endpoint, params, data, callback);
• Client.patch() always requires both params and data arguments to be provided. It allows the following call signatures:
  • patch(endpoint, params, data);
  • patch(endpoint, params, data, callback);
• Client.delete() allows the following call signatures:
  • delete(endpoint);
  • delete(endpoint, callback);

Accessing assets on Amazon S3

Product images and shipping labels are stored on Amazon S3. By default the API client doesn't get AWS credentials issued. To get AWS enabled client set use_aws option to true when instantiating the client:

var Client = require('goodscloud');
var c = new Client('http://sandbox.goodscloud.com', {use_aws: true});
c.login('me@mycompany.com', 'PASSWORD',
  function () {
    var params = {
      results_per_page: 1
    };

    c.get('/api/internal/product_image', params, function (data) {
      var product_image = data.objects[0];
      console.log(c.build_product_image_url(product_image.url_fragment));
    });
  }
);

Releasing a new version:

Release a new version like this:

1. Update the version number in package.json
2. Log in to npmjs.org with npm adduser
3. Publish the package with npm publish

You won't be able to upload a new package if you're not one of the package owners. To become an owner you need to do several things:

1. Create an account on https://www.npmjs.com if you don't have one already
2. Ask one of the existing owners to add you as an owner. To get list of existing owners run this command npm owner ls
