Dwolla SDK for JavaScript

This repository contains the source code for Dwolla's Node-based SDK, which allows developers to interact with Dwolla's server-side API via a JavaScript API, with automatic OAuth token management included. Any action that can be performed via an HTTP request can be made using this SDK when executed within a server-side environment.

Getting Started

Installation

To begin using this SDK, you will first need to download and install it on your machine. We use npm to distribute this package.

# npm
$ npm install --save dwolla-v2

# yarn
$ yarn add dwolla-v2

# pnpm
$ pnpm add dwolla-v2

Initialization

Before any API requests can be made, you must first determine which environment you will be using, as well as fetch the application key and secret. To fetch your application key and secret, please visit one of the following links:

Production: https://dashboard.dwolla.com/applications
Sandbox: https://dashboard-sandbox.dwolla.com/applications

Finally, you can create an instance of Client with key and secret replaced with the application key and secret that you fetched from one of the aforementioned links, respectively.

const Client = require("dwolla-v2").Client;

const dwolla = new Client({
    environment: "sandbox", // Defaults to "production"
    key: process.env.DWOLLA_APP_KEY,
    secret: process.env.DWOLLA_APP_SECRET
})

Making Requests

Once you've created a Client, currently, you can make low-level HTTP requests. High-level abstraction is planned for this SDK; however, at the time of writing, it has not yet been fully implemented.

Low-Level Requests

To make low-level HTTP requests, you can use the get(), post(), and delete() methods. These methods will return a Promise containing the response object.

The following snippet defines Dwolla's response object, both with a successful and errored response. Although the snippet uses try/catch, you can also use .then()/.catch() if you prefer.

An errored response is returned when Dwolla's servers respond with a status code that is greater than or equal to 400, whereas a successful response is when Dwolla's servers respond with a 200-level status code.

try {
    const response = await dwolla.get("customers");
    // response.body      => Object or String depending on response type
    // response.headers   => Headers { ... }
    // response.status    => 200
} catch(error) {
    // error.body       => Object or String depending on response type
    // error.headers    => Headers { ... }
    // error.status     => 400
}

`GET`

// GET https://api.dwolla.com/customers?offset=20&limit=10
const response = await dwolla.get("customers", {
    offset: 20,
    limit: 10
});

console.log("Response Total: ", response.body.total);

`POST`

// POST https://api.dwolla.com/customers body={ ... }
// This request is not idempotent since `Idempotecy-Key` is not passed as a header
const response = await dwolla.post("customers", {
    firstName: "Jane",
    lastName: "Doe",
    email: "jane.doe@example.com"
});

console.log("Created Resource: ", response.headers.get("Location"));

// POST https://api.dwolla.com/customers/{id}/documents multipart/form-data ...
// Note: Requires form-data peer dependency to be downloaded and installed
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append("documentType", "license");
formData.append("file", ffs.createReadStream("mclovin.jpg", {
    contentType: "image/jpeg",
    filename: "mclovin.jpg",
    knownLength: fs.statSync("mclovin.jpg").size
}));

const response = await dwolla.post(`${customerUrl}/documents`, formData);
console.log("Created Resource: ", response.headers.get("Location"));

`DELETE`

// DELETE https://api.dwolla.com/[resource]
await dwolla.delete("resource");

Setting Headers

When a request is sent to Dwolla, a few headers are automatically sent (e.g., Accept, Content-Type, User-Agent); however, if you would like to send additional headers, such as Idempotency-Key, this can be done by passing in a third (3rd) argument for POST requests.

To learn more about how to make your requests idempotent, check out our developer documentation on this topic!

// POST https://api.dwolla.com/customers body={ ... }  headers={ ..., Idempotency-Key=... }
// This request is idempotent since `Idempotency-Key` is passed as a header
const response = await dwolla.post("customers", {
    firstName: "Jane",
    lastName: "Doe",
    email: "jane.doe@example.com"
}, {
    "Idempotency-Key": "[RANDOMLY_GENERATED_KEY_HERE]"
});
