Node-axosoft NPM

node-axosoft

A node.js client for the Axosoft API

This library is built to support v6 of the Axosoft REST API and has been tested with both axosoft.com hosted accounts and Axosoft installed on premise. Any questions can be sent to api@axosoft.com.

Here's a link to our full documentation for the Axosoft REST API.

Installation

Install with the node package manager npm:

$ npm install --save node-axosoft

Examples

Create the Axosoft Connection

var nodeAxosoft = require('node-axosoft');

var credentials = {};
var axosoftUrl = 'https://example.axosoft.com;

//Populate Credentials (See Below)

var axo = nodeAxosoft(axosoftUrl, credentials);

Populate Credentials

####Via User Name and Password

credentials.client_id = 'your client id';
credentials.client_secret = 'your client secret';
credentials.grant_type = 'password';
credentials.username = 'your username';
credentials.password = 'secret';

Via Authorization Code (required for public apps or if using Windows authentication)

credentials.client_id = 'your client id';
credentials.client_secret = 'your client secret';
credentials.grant_type = 'authorization_code';
credentials.redirect_uri = 'https://exampleredirect.com';

var axo = nodeAxosoft(axosoftUrl, credentials);

axo.Api.getLoginUrl(function(url) {
  // open browser using authorizationUrl and get code parameter from redirected Url after login
  var code = 'code received from redirect';
  axo.Api.exchangeCodeForToken(code);
});

Via Non-Expiring Token

//Create Non Expiring Token by logging into Axosoft account, Clicking on Tools/System Options/Axosoft API Settings/Manage Tokens, and make non-expiring token.
credentials.access_token = 'your non-expiring token';

var axo = nodeAxosoft(axosoftUrl, credentials);

Get Work Item (feature)

//optional parameters
var params = {columns: 'name'};

axo.Features.get(params, function(error, response){
    console.log(response.data);
});

Add Work Item (feature)

params = {};
item = {};
item.project = {id: 1}; //required
item.name = 'Test Item Name';
params.item = item;

//create new feature
axo.Features.add(params, function(error, response){
    console.log(response);
});

API Promises

node-axosoft also offers promise versions of its API functions. To use them, just require node-axosoft/promise instead of node-axosoft.

var nodeAxosoft = require('node-axosoft/promise');
var axo = nodeAxosoft(axosoftUrl, credentials);

// get items
axo.Features.get()
  .then(function(response) {
    console.log(response);
  });
