Node.JS integration client for Xero accounting software. Allows integrating Public apps
- full xero authentication flow
- send and receive all entities to (from) Xero
- automatically saves auth data to req.session.xeroAuth for token and secret reuse ( can be worked around if you don't want to use session)
npm install xero-client --save
- All params are mandatory
var xeroClient = require('xero-client')({
xeroConsumerKey: 'key', //if omitted, env variable XERO_CONSUMER_KEY will be used
xeroConsumerSecret: 'secret', //if omitted, env variable XERO_CONSUMER_SECRET will be used
xeroCallbackUrl: 'http://.../' //if omitted, env variable XERO_CALLBACK_URL will be used
});
... initialize session
You will need 2 routes:
- authentication entry point
- callback when client is successfully authorized
Example:
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
router
.get('/authenticate', xeroClient.authenticate)
.get('/callback', xeroClient.callback);
//contacts and invoices have a thin wrapper around raw requests
xeroClient.syncContacts(contacts, req, function(err, xeroContacts){
if (err){
//handle errors
}
//do something with xeroContacts
}
//any other entity can be sent or received with raw request:
xeroClient._putRequest(req, 'https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Payments', 'Payments', payments, function(err, xeroPayments){
if (err){
//handle errors
}
//do something with xeroPayments
}
//xeroClient._getRequest(req, url, root, callback)
//xeroClient._postRequest(req, url, xmlRoot, data, callback)
