Documentation
Refer to https://eligible.com/rest for full documentation on Eligible APIs, their request parameters and expected response formats.
Requirements
Node.js 0.12 and above
Installation
npm install eligible-node --save
Usage
Create instance
First create an Eligible
object by passing your api key. You can pass the api key directly or as an object. You may also load your api key from environment variables.
var Eligible = require('eligible-node');
// Get values from environment variables if nothing is passed in arguments
// available env variables: ELIGIBLE_API_KEY, ELIGIBLE_IS_TEST
var eligible = Eligible();
//or, pass them as object:
var eligible = Eligible({
apiKey: 'foobar',
isTest: true
});
//or, pass Config object
var config = new Eligible.Config;
config.setApiKey('foobar')
config.setTest(true);
var eligible = Eligible(config);
Test Mode
To make the Eligible as explorable as possible, accounts have test-mode as well as live-mode. See above example to enable test mode on any of your requests and hit the sandbox.
Example
Complete example on how to use the library:
var Eligible = require('eligible-node');
var eligible = Eligible({
apiKey: 'n5Cddnj2KST6YV9J2l2ztQQ2VrdPfzA4JPbn',
isTest: true
});
// Retrieve a payer and it's search options
eligible.Payer.retrieve('62308')
.then(function(payer){
console.log(payer.payer_id);
return payer.searchOptions(); //retrieve search options
})
.then(function(searchOptions){
console.log(searchOptions)
})
.catch(Eligible.APIConnectionError, function(e){
console.log('Connection Error');
})
.catch(Eligible.AuthenticationError, function(e){
console.log('Authentication Error', e.message, e.code, e.response);
})
.catch(Eligible.InvalidRequestError, function(e){
console.log('InvalidRequestError', e.message, e.code, e.response);
})
.catch(function(e){
console.log(e);
});

The following table describes the properties of the error object.
| Property | Type | Description |
|:----------:|:----------------:|:-------------------------------------------------------------------:|
| message
| string | The error message |
| code
| number | When the error occurs during an HTTP request, the HTTP status code. |
| response
| object or string | HTTP response as JSON, if JSON not available raw response is stored |
To catch individual errors, use bluebird catch syntax.
Testing
Use the following commands to run tests or test coverage:
ELIGIBLE_API_KEY=API_KEY npm test
ELIGIBLE_API_KEY=API_KEY npm run coverage
Note that, by default running above commands will mock HTTP requests using nock library. To disable mocking and make actaul calls against eligible server, pass NOCK_OFF=true
enviroment variable:
NOCK_OFF=true npm test
To filter tests, update grep
field in test/mocha.opts
.
Developing
To work on the library:
- Fork it
- Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
- Install dependencies:
npm install
- Fix bugs or add features. Make sure the changes pass the coding guidelines by runing:
npm run lint
ornpm run watch
- Write tests for your new features. For HTTP mocking
nock
library is used. Nock definitions are saved intest/fixtures
directory - Run test by
npm test
ornpm run coverage
- If all tests are passed, push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
- Create new Pull Request
