Payment Rails¹ JavaScript SDK

A JavaScript SDK (written in TypeScript) - For more information about the API as well as NodeJS code samples check out the full API documentation

Installation

npm install --save paymentrails

Getting Started

The Payment Rails API is built using promises and all methods except connect will return a promise. The connect call allows you to setup your API Key and Secret with a client that can be used for subsequent calls.

// A simple application using the Payment Rails SDK
const paymentrails = require('paymentrails');

const client = paymentrails.connect({
  key: "YOUR-API-KEY",
  secret: "YOUR-API-SECRET",
  environment: "production",
});

// Async/Await version

async function main() {
  const recipient = await client.recipient.find("R-G7SXXpm6cs4aTUd9YhmgWC");
  console.log(recipient.id);
}

main();

// Promise version

client.recipient.find("R-G7SXXpm6cs4aTUd9YhmgWC").then(recipient => {
  console.log(recipient.id);
}).catch(err => {
  console.log("ERROR", err);
});

Usage

Methods should all have JSDoc comments to help you understand their usage. As mentioned the full API documentation is the best source of information about the API.

If you're working on the library itself, here's easy way to run the unit tests. They are designed to be run with configuration coming through environment variables.

• PR_ACCESS_KEY
• PR_SECRET_KEY
• PR_ENVIRONMENT

For a command like:

PR_ACCESS_KEY=xxx \
PR_SECRET_KEY=yyy \
PR_ENVIRONMENT=integration \
npm run test:integration
