myjohndeere v0.2.0

node-myjohndeere

MyJohnDeere API helper library for node.js.

Installation

npm install --save myjohndeere

var MyJohnDeere = require('myjohndeere')

Usage

Getting request token (initial authorization)

var mjd = new MyJohnDeere(apiUrl, appId, appSecret)

mjd.getRequestToken(callbackUrl)
	.then(request => {
		// Save request.tokenSecret temporarily
		// Redirect to mjd.getAuthorizationUrl()
	})

Trading for access token (inside handler for callbackUrl)

var mjd = new MyJohnDeere(apiUrl, appId, appSecret)

// oauth_token and oauth_verifier are from URL query params
mjd.getAccessToken(oauth_token, requestTokenSecret, oauth_verifier)
	.then(access => {
		// Save access.token and access.tokenSecret - they're good for up to one year
	})

Making authorized requests

var mjd = new MyJohnDeere(apiUrl, appId, appSecret, accessToken, accessTokenSecret)

// getLinks() stores the top level API catalog in .links
mjd.getLinks().then(() => {
	mjd.get(mjd.links.files).end((err, apiRes) => {
		// JSON result in apiRes.body

		// can continue with e.g. mjd.get(apiRes.body.links.nextPage)
	})
})

Notes

• Links (apiRes.body.links, apiRes.body.values[i].links) are transformed from arrays of dictionaries ([{rel: ..., uri: ...}]) into flat dictionaries ({self: <uri>, nextPage: <uri>, prevPage: <uri>}) for convenience.
• .request([method='GET'], url, [options={}]) returns a pre-signed superagent request object configured to accept JSON and with support for relative URLs. If you need a different return type, simply override it with .set('Accept', ...).
• .(get|post|put|delete) are convenience wrappers for .request.
• Requires node 4.x or above.
• URL interpolation is supported via the options parameter to .request and its convenience wrappers - e.g. mjd.get(mjd.links.organizationMaintenancePlans, {orgId: 12345})

Test server

A small express server is included for testing and as an example implementation. To use it, you'll need to drop in a settings.js file:

module.exports = {
	mjdEndpoint:  'https://apicert.soa-proxy.deere.com/platform',
	mjdAppId:     '...',
	mjdAppSecret: '...'
}

From there, just run node server.js in the module directory.
