Get token for normal purchase

Get a token that will be passed to transact.js after all paramateres are set. There are two ways to generate a token.

Using callback

function getTokenCb(error,token) {
	if (error) {
		console.log("Failed to create the token with error:",error);
	} else {
		console.log("Token created successfully:",token);
	}
}

transactToken.getToken(getTokenCb);

Using promise

let promise = transactToken.getToken();

promise.then(function(token) {
	console.log("Token created successfully:",token);
).catch(function(error) {
	console.log("Failed to create the token with error:",error);
});

Verifying a token

To verify a token the signing secret needs to match the one used when creating the token. There are two ways to verify a token.

Using callback

let transactIo = require('transact-payments');
let token = 'token generated previously';
let secret = 'Signing Secret';

function tokenVerification(error,verifiedToken) {
	if (error) {
		console.log("Failed to verify the token with error:",error);
	} else {
		console.log("Token verified successfully:",verifiedToken);
	}
}

transactIo.TransactIoMsg.verify(token,secret,tokenVerification);

Using promise

let transactIo = require('transact-payments');
let token = 'token generated previously';
let secret = 'Signing Secret';

let promise = transactIo.TransactIoMsg.verify(token,secret);
promise.then(function(verifiedToken) {
	console.log("Token verified successfully:",verifiedToken);
}).catch(function(error) {
	console.log("Failed to verify the token with error:",error);
});
