Chimoneyjs is a js wrapper for Chimoney

Register with Chimoney
-
Request for API KEY from support
-
set Your "CHIMONEY_API_KEY" environment variable You can use a .env file as shown below to set your API key
CHIMONEY_API_KEY = "YOUR API KEY"
- npm install chimoneyjs
There are two ways of setting your API key.
- You can export it as an environment variable as mentioned above (recommended)
- You can pass it as an argument when initialising chimoney
// Initialise chimoney without api key (recommended)
const chimoney = require("chimoneyjs")();
// Initialise chimoney with api key
require("dotenv").config();
const chimoney = require("chimoneyjs")(process.env.API_KEY);
The issue with the latter is that you'd have to initialise your api key whenever you import the package. For this reason we recommend exporting your apiKey as an environment variables

.then((response) => console.log(response)) // model of response {status:"success", data:...}
