XD HAX aspnetcore Xero Alexa Hack

I have already entered XDHAX with TaxOptimiser which is a way more complex project but I gave myself one morning to create an Xero Alexa Mashup in one morning. Therefore the scope is relatively limited. I will have a video soon on how I developed it.

Other Examples Tech

Jordan Walsh from Xero has created a starter project with connections via oAuth

• NodeAlexaXeroSample - There is a node sample app by Jordan Walsh

Installation

Change the appsettings file and then publish to Azure. Create a relevant skill as per the video.

 public class AppSettings
    {
        public string Uri = "https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/";
        public string SigningCertificatePath = @"";
        public string Key = "";
        public string Secret = "";
        public string SigningCertificatePassword = "";
    }

In production I would never store the results like this and would hold them in managed secrets

Limitations

It is currently limited to a Xero private app to save time on development.
