linnJS - A simple interface for interacting with the Linnworks API

The linnworks api, as documented here, is a great resource. This library is meant to abstract away some of the difficulties in using the API from a node.js application.

All it does right now is initalize the connection for you and provide you with a Promise-based interface for sending post requests to the server.

Install by npm install linnjs.

This is how you might use it:

var linnJS = require('linnJS');
linnJS.initialize(process.env.linnworksusername, process.env.linnworkspw)
    .then(function(api){
        // this is where the magic happens
        api.post('ImportExport/AreExportsEnabled')
            .then(function(response){
                console.log(response); // will print false or true
            });
    })
    .catch(function(err){
        console.log(err);
    });

After the connection with the API is initialized, simply call api.post with 2 arguments: the API method you wish to call, and an object with any data that you want to post to that method.

The example above, api.post('ImportExport/AreExportsEnabled'), is how you'd call this method.

Here's an example where you'd have to post some data as well (for this method):

api.post('ImportExport/EnableExports', {enable:true});
