Overview

Zoho CRM NodeJS SDK offers a way to create client NodeJS applications that can be integrated with Zoho CRM PathFinder.

Environmental Setup

NodeJS SDK is installable through npm. npm is a tool for dependency management in NodeJS. SDK expects the following from the client app.

• Client app must have Node(version 12 and above)

• NodeJS SDK must be installed into client app through npm.

Including the SDK in your project

You can include the SDK to your project using:

• Install Node from nodejs.org (if not installed).

• Install NodeJS SDK

  • Navigate to the workspace of your client app.
  • Run the command below:

  npm install cc-nodejs-sdk

• The NodeJS SDK will be installed and a package named -sdk will be created in the local machine.

• Another method to install the SDK

  • Add dependencies to the package.json of the node server with the latest version (recommended)
  • Run npm install in the directory which installs all the dependencies mentioned in package.json.

Configuration

Before you get started with creating your NodeJS application, you need to create a SDK configuration in ZOHOCRM PathFinder.

• Configure API environment which decides the domain and the URL to make API calls.

  const USDataCenter = require( "cc-nodejs-sdk/routes/dc/us_data_center").USDataCenter;
  
  const EUDataCenter = require( "cc-nodejs-sdk/routes/dc/eu_data_center").EUDataCenter;
  /*
   * Configure the environment
   * which is of the pattern Domain.Environment
   * Available Domains: USDataCenter, EUDataCenter, INDataCenter, CNDataCenter, AUDataCenter
   * Available Environments: PRODUCTION()
  */
  let environment = USDataCenter.PRODUCTION();

• Create an instance of SDKConfig containing the SDK configuration.

  const SDKConfigBuilder = require("cc-nodejs-sdk/routes/sdk_config_builder").SDKConfigBuilder;
  
  /*
   * By default, the SDK creates the SDKConfig instance
   */
  let sdkConfig = new SDKConfigBuilder().build();

Initializing the Application

Initialize the SDK using the following code.

const InitializeBuilder = require("cc-nodejs-sdk/routes/initialize_builder").InitializeBuilder;
const USDataCenter = require("cc-nodejs-sdk/routes/dc/us_data_center").USDataCenter;
const SDKConfigBuilder = require("cc-nodejs-sdk/routes/sdk_config_builder").SDKConfigBuilder;

class Initializer {

    static async initialize() {

       /*
	    * Configure the environment
	    * which is of the pattern Domain.Environment
	    * Available Domains: USDataCenter, EUDataCenter, INDataCenter, CNDataCenter, AUDataCenter
	    * Available Environments: PRODUCTION()
	    */
        let environment = USDataCenter.PRODUCTION();

       /*
        * By default, the SDK creates the SDKConfig instance
        */
        let sdkConfig = new SDKConfigBuilder().build();

       /*
        * Set the following in InitializeBuilder
        * environment -> Environment instance
        * SDKConfig -> SDKConfig instance
        */
        (await new InitializeBuilder())
            .environment(environment)
            .SDKConfig(sdkConfig)
            .initialize();

    }
}

Initializer.initialize();

• You can now access the functionalities of the SDK. Refer to the sample codes to make various API calls through the SDK.

Responses and Exceptions

All SDK method calls return an instance of APIResponse.

After a successful API request, the getObject() method returns an instance of the APIGET (for GET).

APIGET (for GET requests) are the expected objects for Zoho CRM PathFinder APIs’ responses

All other exceptions such as SDK anomalies and other unexpected behaviours are thrown under the SDKException class.

const HeaderMap = require("cc-nodejs-sdk/routes/header_map").HeaderMap;
const ParameterMap = require("cc-nodejs-sdk/routes/parameter_map").ParameterMap;
