SuperSaaS NodeJS SDK

Online bookings/appointments/calendars in NodeJS using the SuperSaaS scheduling platform - https://supersaas.com

The SuperSaaS API provides services that can be used to add online booking and scheduling functionality to an existing website or CRM software.

Prerequisites

Register for a (free) SuperSaaS account, and
get your account name and password.

Dependencies

NodeJS 6 or greater.

No external packages. Only the native http/https modules are used.

Installation

The SuperSaaS NodeJS API Client is available as a module from the NPM Registry and can be included in your project package. Note, the supersaas-api-client may update major versions with breaking changes, so it's recommended to use a major version when expressing the gem dependency. e.g.

{
    "dependencies": {
        "supersaas-api-client": "^1.0"
    }
}

$ npm install supersaas-api-client

Configuration

Require the module.

var supersaas = require('supersaas-api-client');
var Client = supersaas.Client;

The Client can be used either (1) through the singleton Instance property, e.g.

Client.configure({
  accountName: 'account',
  password: 'password',
  userName: 'user',
  host: 'http://test',
  dryRun: true,
  verbose: true
})
Client.Instance.accountName; //=> 'account'

Or else by (2) simply creating a new client instance manually, e.g.

var client = new Client({accountName: 'accnt', password: 'pwd'});

Note, ensure that configure is called before Instance, otherwise the client will be initialized with configuration defaults.

If the client isn't configured explicitly, it will use default ENV variables for the account name, password, and user name.

process.env.SSS_API_ACCOUNT_NAME = 'your-env-supersaas-account-name';
process.env.SSS_API_PASSWORD = 'your-env-supersaas-account-name';
SuperSaaS.Client.Instance.accountName; //=> 'your-env-supersaas-account-name';
SuperSaaS.Client.Instance.password; //=> 'your-env-supersaas-account-name';

All configuration options can be individually set on the client.

SuperSaaS.Client.Instance.password = 'pwd';
SuperSaaS.Client.Instance.verbose = true;
...

API Methods

Details of the data structures, parameters, and values can be found on the developer documentation site:

https://www.supersaas.com/info/dev

All API methods accept an optional error-first callback with a signature of function(err, data). The callback function should always be the last argument in the call.

Note, methods with optional arguments can accept a callback as the final argument for any of those arguments. For example:

Method with the last argument after optional form and webhook arguments:

Client.Instance.users.create(attributes, form, webhook, function(err, data){});

Method without optional arguments:

Client.Instance.users.create(attributes, function(err, data){});

Client.Instance.schedules.list(function(err, data) { 
    console.log(data); //=> ["Schedule", ...]
});

});

List Appointments/Bookings

Client.Instance.appointments.list(12345, 67890, true, true, function(err, data) { 
    console.log(data); //=> ["Appointment", ...]
});

Get Agenda

Client.Instance.appointments.agenda(12345, 67890, true, true, function(err, data) { 
    console.log(data); //=> ["Appointment", ...]
});

Get Available Appointments/Bookings

Client.Instance.forms.get(12345, function(err, data) { 
    console.log(data); //=> "Form"
});

Testing

The HTTP requests can be stubbed by configuring the client with the dryRun option, e.g.

Client.Instance.dryRun = true;

Note, stubbed requests always invoke callbacks with an empty Array.

The Client also provides a lastRequest attribute containing the options object from the last performed request, e.g.

Client.Instance.lastRequest; //=> {"method": ..., "headers": ..., "path": ...}

The headers, body, path, etc. of the last request can be inspected for assertion in tests, or for troubleshooting failed API requests.

For additional troubleshooting, the client can be configured with the verbose option, which will log any JSON contents in the request and response to the console, e.g.

Client.Instance.verbose = true;

Error Handling

The API Client uses error-first callbacks to indicate success or failure status; if the err parameter is not null, then it will contain an array of error message object, e.g.

  Client.Instance.appointments.create(12345, 67890, {bad_field_name: ''}, function(err, data) {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err); //=> => [{"status":"400","title":"Bad request: unknown attribute 'bad_field_name' for Booking."}]
    }
  });
