var plaid = require('plaid')({client_id: '123456', secret: '7891011'});
/**

*/
plaid.connect({username: 'demo', password: 'test'}, 'type', 'test@plaid.com', function(error, response, mfa){
//Non MFA
console.log(response)
//MFA
if (mfa) {
var answer_question = "this is my answer";
plaid.step(response.access_token, answer_question, function(err, response){
//response is accounts and transactions object
})
}
});
/**
* Get a user's transactions, using the access_token
*/
plaid.get(access_token, function(err, res) {
console.log('Accounts : ', res.accounts);
console.log('Transactions : ', res.transactions);
});To run the tests, you need to :
- Sign up for a key
- Set the user bank information into process variables The tests work only for a 'bofa' account so far. You'll have to provide the answer to a secret question during the tests to validate the connection to the bank.
