Cin7 API Client for NodeJS

A simple NodeJS package to make calls to the
Cin7 API

Prerequisites

You will need to install NodeJS, which will come with
npm. You must also sign up with Cin7 to get an CIN7_API_KEY. Your CIN7_API_KEY is the
username and password separated by a colon. You will also need git installed.

UserName:Password

Installing

First install NodeJS for your platform and
make sure to add it to the PATH. The installer should offer to do this for
you. The same goes for git.

Then, clone this repository with git. The following examples use a bash
terminal in Ubuntu/Linux. However, it should be very similar across platforms
and command line interfaces.

git clone [email protected]:smartMinion221/Cin7-NodeJS.git

Next, you'll want to install the required dependencies. Run the npm install
command from within the repository, like so:

cd Cin7-api-node
npm install

To run the tests you'll need to set the CIN7_API_KEY with dotenv. To do this,
you must make a .env file and define your CIN7_API_KEY inside. Here
is an example in bash:

touch .env
echo "CIN7_API_KEY=UserName:Password" >> .env
npm test

NOTE: You should never set the CIN7_API_KEY like this in production. Your key
could be logged from the terminal. Also, environment variables should be
set with the system, not with dotenv. When deploying to production, you can
disable dotenv by setting the environment variable NODE_ENV="production"
