Configuring

Download a copy of your Zuora WSDL and set it's path in your Nuora configuration

var Nuora = require('nuora');
var config = Nuora.config;

//set your credentials and wsdl file location
config.zuora.username = 'john';
config.zuora.password = 'secret';
config.zuora.wsdl = '/path-to-downloaded-zuora.wsdl'

var nuora = Nuora.build();
var zuora = nuora.zuora;
var sql = "select id, name from account limit 1";
zuora.once('loggedin', function () {
    console.log('Nuora is ready!');
    zuora.query(sql, function (err, data) {
        console.log(err, data);
    });
});

Examples

###Create an account in Zuora

//following from above
var nuora = Nuora.build();
var zuora = nuora.zuora;
var soap = zuora.soap;
zuora.once('loggedin', function () {
    var accountParams = zuora.createObject('Account', {
            currency: 'USD',
            paymentTerm: 'Due Upon Receipt',
            status: 'Draft',
            batch: 'Batch1',
            //start the bill cycle today
            billCycleDay: new Date().getDate(),
            name: 'Nuora'
        });
    var body = soap.action('create', [accountParams]);
    soap.addBody(body);
    zuora.send(soap, function (err, data) {
        console.log(err, data);
    });
});

Adding Nuora to your package

In your dependencies

"nuora": "1.0.x"

Nuora is under active development, because of the nature that this service provides, all minor patch updates will be graceful improvements on existing features to maintain backwards compatibility.

Developing with custom configurations

This is to make life easy when developing directly on and extending Nuora functionality To load custom configurations, you can copy and rename files in nuora/config/ to <filename>.local.js. Then in your nuora/config/nuora.local.js you can specify the *.local.js file you want to load:

cp config/nuora.js config/nuora.local.js

You now have a local configuration you can edit without affecting the repo, but you will still be loading the remote configs unless you edit config/nuora.local.js. Let's say for example we wanted to load the config/orm.local.js file, we would make the following changes:

/** @file config/nuora.local.js */
module.exports = {
-    zuora: require('./zuora'),
+    zuora: require('./zuora.local'),
    ...

Building Docs/Wiki

cd nuora && ./build

Debugging with Node-Inspector

node-debug nuora

Interactive Query Mode

#Start the query prompt
node nuora query
#If you want to interact with the data (requires node-inspector)
node-debug nuora iquery

Building your own Nuora Lib Modules

Nuora loads modules found in the config/nuora.js file. It looks for the autoload array property and uses modules defined in there to extend the Nuora Handler instance.

/** @module config/nuora */
module.exports = {
    autoload: [
        //my lib module
        'fooLib'
    ]  
};
