form-trigger-server

Here is a starter kit for writing Form Triggers against Bullhorn's REST API.

Requirements:

• git
• node

Installation

$ git clone git@github.com:bullhorn/form-trigger-server.git
$ cd form-trigger-server
$ npm install
$ npm start

Getting Started

Simple Triggers are provided in server/middleware/triggers.js and are enabled to routes in server/middleware/index.js. To create a validation endpoint you could create a new file called validate.js.

export default {
    validate(request, response) {
        let packet = request.body,
            today = new Date().getTime();
        
        // Check if the start date is today or later
        if( today <= packet.startDate ){
            response.send({
                result: true // Packet looks good, lets save it.
            }); 
        } else {
            response.send({
                result: false, // Set the result to false to prevent the record from saving.
                error: "Can't create a record that starts in the Past!"
            }); 
        }
    }
}

Then you just need to add a route in server/middleware/index.js like so:

import validations from './validate';
...
middleware.post('/trigger/validate', validations.validate);

How can i change data?

To create a form trigger that will change the packet that is saved, create a file called manipulate.js.

export default {
    manipulate(request, response) {
        let packet = request.body;
        
        // Check if the start date is today or later
        if( packet.salary > 100000 ){
            packet.billRate = 0.12;
        } else if( packet.salary > 50000 ){
            packet.billRate = 0.15;
        }
        
        response.send({
            result: true,
            returnValues: packet
        }); 
    }
}
