// or
$ yarn add everest-tms-api

Code

import { EverestApi } from 'everest-tms-api';

const api = new EverestApi({
  endpoint: process.env.API_ENDPOINT_URL,
  client_id: process.env.API_CLIENT_ID,
  client_secret: process.env.API_CLIENT_SECRET,
});

api.authenticate().then(async () => {
  const result = await api.getInfos();
  console.log(result);
});

Configuration

When you invoke the EverestApi class, who have to give some parameters from your Everest API:

• endpoint: "https://[company].everst.io/api" (type: string. You can find it from your everest dashboard on uri /admin/api)
• client_id: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" (type: string. You can find it from your everest dashboard on uri /admin/api)
• client_secret: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" (type: string. You can find it from your everest dashboard on uri /admin/api)
• timeout: 10000 (type: number. timeout is in milliseconds, 10000 is 10s)

Module

Import the class EverestApi from the package and run it with your configuration.

import { EverestApi } from 'everest-tms-api';

const api = new EverestApi({
  endpoint: process.env.API_ENDPOINT_URL,
  client_id: process.env.API_CLIENT_ID,
  client_secret: process.env.API_CLIENT_SECRET,
});

Now, you have to authenticate yourself with this line:

const api = new EverestApi({...});
await api.authenticate();

Then, you can call the route you want from the api class module initialized and authenticated.

Example

For example, if we want to create a new agent, we need to do that (from an async function (Promise)):

const api = new EverestApi({...});
await api.authenticate();
await api.createAgent({
    email: `leon-lefebvre@example.com`,
    first_name: 'Léon',
    last_name: 'LEFEBVRE',
    password: "#abcdefg&123456789!",
    password_repeat: "#abcdefg&123456789!",
    address_line1: '1 Example road, London, UK',
})

Webhooks

For Hooks, types has been created based on the Everest API documentation, you can import them from the library like this:

import { IEverestHook } from 'everest-tms-api';

const result = '{from webhook [agent_deleted]}' as IEverestHook;

switch (result.event) {
  case HookEnum.agent_deleted:
    console.log(result.agent_id);
    break;
  case HookEnum.agent_created:
    console.log(result.available);
    break;
  default:
    console.log('Webhook not recognized');
}

⚠️ WARNING: BE CAREFUL ENUMS FROM STATUS / TYPES!. Some values like status or types are not based on enums defined in the queries/mutations typed in this library due to default API REST from Everest. You can use the index enum if you want to avoid that (like the example below).

import { IEverestHook } from 'everest-tms-api';

const result = '{from webhook [invoice_created]}';
const type = result.type; // In this example, type is equal to 1 (INVOICE)
return Object.values(EverestInvoiceTypeEnum)[
  result.type
] as EverestInvoiceTypeEnum;

🚦 Tests

First, run the yarn command from the root of this project, and add a .env file:

NODE_ENV="dev"
API_ENDPOINT_URL="https://[company].everst.io/api"
API_CLIENT_ID="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
API_CLIENT_SECRET="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

⚠️ WARNING: MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN PREPROD / DEV ENVIRONMENT!. Tests will create some resources on your environment, don't run tests on prod and prefer use tests on a sandbox env !

Then test all the app with jest (100% coverage), you need to run this command line:

$ yarn test

⚔️ Limitations

Be careful about dates given by Everest, the format is timestamp based on unix system (in seconds) and the JS timestamp format is based on milliseconds format. From all timestamps received from Everest, you can apply this code (consider in this example everestUnixTimestamp is a date from everest):

console.log(everestUnixTimestamp); // 1672531200 (as Sunday 1 January 2023 00:00:00 GMT+01:00)
const date = new Date(everestUnixTimestamp * 1000); // Converted in a JS datetime (based on milliseconds timestamp)
