Stripe API in Meteor

Stripe (native)

Implementing the Stripe API natively in Meteor, no need for wrapAsync.

This package also includes Stripe.js and Stripe Checkout. See bottom of readme under "Client"

See full docs at https://stripe.com/docs/api/node but note some differences

Install

Using Meteor's Package System:

$ meteor add benjick:stripe-native

Implemented methods

• Charges
• Refunds
• Customers
• Cards
• Subscriptions (missing tests)
• Plans
• Coupons
• Discounts (missing tests)
• Application fees (missing tests)
• Account (need more tests)
• Tokens

Differences with the node module

No callbacks

For example:

server-side

Meteor.methods({
  charge: function (token) {
    this.unblock();
    check(token, String);

    try {
      var result = Stripe.charges.create({
        amount: 400,
        currency: 'sek',
        source: token.id,
        description: "Imma chargin' mah lazer"
      });

      // do something with result, save to db maybe?

      return true;
    }
    catch {
      throw new Meteor.Error('payment-failed', 'The payment failed');
    }
  }
});

client-side

Meteor.call('charge', token, function (error, result) {
  console.log(error);
  console.log(result);
});

Stripe secret key is read from the environment variable STRIPE_SECRET

Stripe.secretKey = process.env.STRIPE_SECRET + ':null';

HTTP doesn't parse params correct, so nested objects is a bit special:

node-stripe:

var Stripe = require("stripe")(
  "sk_test_xxx"
);

Stripe.coupons.update("25OFF", {
  metadata: {key: "value"}
)

meteor-stripe-native:

Stripe.coupons.update("25OFF", {
  'metadata[key]': 'value'
})

Client

Stripe.js is now loaded directly from stripe.com and this happens after all other Meteor scripts are loaded. As such, the Stripe variable is not immediately available for use so instead, calls need to be deferred until after your Meteor app has started, like so:

Meteor.startup(function() {
    Stripe.setPublishableKey('YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_KEY');
});

The same goes for Stripe Checkout, too:

Meteor.startup(function() {
    var handler = StripeCheckout.configure({
    key: 'YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_KEY',
    token: function(token) {}
  });
});
