Getting Started

Install

npm install --only=production --save gonebusy-nodejs-client

Sandbox

We have a Sandbox environment to play with!

Just use sandbox.gonebusy.com instead of where you see beta.gonebusy.com referenced, including where to create an account to retrieve your API Key.

The Sandbox environment is completely separate from the Live site - that includes meaning your Sandbox API Key will not work in the Live environment.

Quick Start

Have you followed Install above?

The following shows how to import the library and use it with Bluebird Promises:

Then try the following:

1. Import the module:

   var gonebusy = require('gonebusy-nodejs-client');

2. Configure the environment for Sandbox testing

   gonebusy.Configuration.currentEnvironment = 'sandbox'

3. Configure your API Key:

   var authorization = 'Token ac98ed08b5b0a9e7c43a233aeba841ce'; // Default Sandbox token

4. Get a list of Services for the current user:

   gonebusy.ServicesController.getServices(authorization).then((result)=>{
       console.log(result);
   }).catch((e)=>{
       console.log(e);
   })

   Output of console.log():

   GetServicesResponse {
   services:
    [ EntitiesServiceResponse {
        id: '3f58d6bb-59ba-4e7f-aeaa-2544c384d9d7',
        ownerId: '281ce067-50dc-4746-ac78-ded592655699',
        name: 'name',
        shortName: 'short_name',
        duration: 15,
        maxDuration: 15,
        description: A Service for Samples,
        priceModelId: '5d9cea4f-9e6a-46bd-9c7f-6195a88753eb',
        isActive: true,
        categories: [],
        resources: [],
        schedules: [] },
    ...
    ]
   }
   

Using Request Body Helpers

For any controller operations that expect a request body, or a set of params, there exist CreateXXXBody/UpdateXXXByIdBody/etc. helper objects corresponding to the operation. The helper objects allow your request code to be constructed with params that conform to the GoneBusy API while still supporting Node/ES6-style property access.

The following is an example of how to use the CreateServiceBody helper object when creating a new Service:

1. Create an instance of CreateServiceBody to wrap your desired attributes into an object:

   var new_service = new gonebusy.CreateServiceBody({
     name: 'My Sample Service',
     duration: 30,
     max_duration: 30,
     description: 'Sample Service for Testing',
     short_name: 'MyService'
   });

2. Note that the property passed to the constructor uses snake_case but the underlying BaseModel object allows access via ES6 camelCase or even a traditional getter:

   new_service.shortName;
   new_service.getShortName();

   Both output:

   'MyService'

   Setters work as well:

   new_service.setShortName('My Sample x2');
   new_service.getShortName();

   Outputs:

   'My Sample x2'

3. Let's send off the request to create our new Service:

   gonebusy.ServicesController.createService(
       'Token ac98ed08b5b0a9e7c43a233aeba841ce',
       new_service
       ).then((result)=>{
           console.log(result);
       }).catch((e)=>{
           console.log(e);
       })

   Output of console.log():

     CreateServiceResponse {
       service:
         EntitiesServiceResponse {
             id: 'eaf76f54-f994-11e7-9c01-4fba28763be3',
             ownerId: '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000080',
             name: 'My Sample Service',
             shortName: 'MyService x2',
             duration: 30,
             maxDuration: 30,
             description: 'Sample Service for Testing',
             priceModelId: 'eafb2bbc-f994-11e7-9c03-83290988f60b',
             isActive: true,
             categories: [],
             resources: [ '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000034' ],
             schedules: [ 'eb0246c2-f994-11e7-9c04-639c2510affb' ] } }

Using Response Helpers

Just as with Request Body helpers, there are Response helper objects corresponding to each CreateXXXBody/UpdateXXXByIdBody/etc. operation.
