Prerequisites
NodeJS.
Read API documentation (https://latch.elevenpaths.com/www/developers/doc_api).
To get the "Application ID" and "Secret", (fundamental values for integrating Latch in any application), it’s necessary to register a developer account in Latch's website: https://latch.elevenpaths.com. On the upper right side, click on "Developer area".
Using the SDK in NodeJS
- You need to include the npm package 'latch-sdk' in your package.json file and then require the "latch-sdk" in your NodeJS file.
var latch = require('latch-sdk);
- Initialize latch with your AppId and SecretKey. Hostname and port are optional.
latch.init({ appId: 'MY_APP_ID', secretKey: 'MY_SECRET_KEY', hostname: 'HOSTNAME:PORT' });
- Call to Latch Server. Pairing will return an account id that you should store for future api calls
var pairResponse = latch.pair(PAIRING_CODE, function(data) {
if (data["data"]["accountId"]) {
saveAccountIdForUserId(req.user.id, { accountId: data["data"]["accountId"] }, function(err) {
if (err) { return next(err); }
});
res.redirect("/");
} else if (data["error"]) {
var message = "There has been an error with Latch, try again";
res.render("setup", { user: req.user, message: message, accountId: "" });
}
});
var statusResponse = latch.status(YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID, function(data) {
console.log(data);
});
