eAccounting-node

A simple client module for accessing Visma eAccounting's API. It is still early stages in development, please refer to Current Development Stage for the current development stage.

Authentication

eAccounting-node tries to keep a small fotprint, so simple-oauth2 have been used for authentication. You can access the authentication variable by eaccounting.auth(). API documentation for simple-oauth2 is available here.

Installation

npm install eaccounting

Usage

const authConfig = {
    {  
       "client":{  
          id: "ayr",
          secret: "a string"
       },
       "token":{  
            access_token: "a long string",
            token_type: "Bearer",
            expires_in: 3600,
            refresh_token: "a shorter string",
            expires_at: "2017-06-01T08:32:46.394Z"
       }
    }
};

const eaccounting = require('eaccounting').create(authConfig);

Refresh your token

We have built in a renewedTokenFunction, what that does is use the expired function from simple-oauth2 to refresh it automaticly and return you a Promise so you can store it.

var authConfig = require('./auth.json');
const jsonfile = require('jsonfile');

authConfig.renewedTokenFunction = (token) => {
	jsonfile.writeFile('./auth.json', {
		client: authConfig.client,
		token: token.token
	}, function (err){
		console.error(err);
	});
};
var eaccounting = require('eaccounting').create(authConfig)

Current Development Stage

Currently the module has the following endpoints added:

• Articles
• CustomerInvoiceDrafts
• Customers

API Documentation

The updated documentation for Visma eAccounting API is available publicly here. eaccounting-node uses the same name as the endpoint, but with camelCasing.

Function names

All of the functions have the same function names, as of now.

Get all

var customers = eaccounting.customers.getAll()

Get all (alias)

var customers = eaccounting.customers.get()

Get one

var customer = eaccounting.customers.get(1337)

Update

var customer = eaccounting.customers.update(1337)

Add

var customer = eaccounting.customers.add({
    name: "Github Inc."
})

Delete

var customer = eaccounting.customers.remove(1337)

Contribute!

It is super easy to add the other endpoints, because of the simple API of the module. So please submit pull request if you have implemented more.
