Any advice on creating a SoapClient.IET_Client.SoapClient.perform( ?

[davestacey]

I'm trying to do an IET_Client.SoapClient.perform(.
Something like:
IET_Client.SoapClient.perform(
'EmailSendDefinition',
options,
function( err, response ) {...`

    var options = {
        props: {
            "Action": "start"
            , "CustomerKey": "2177425"
            , "SenderProfile": {
                "FromName": "Sender"
                , "FromAddress": "send@test.com"
            }
        }
    };

IET_Client.SoapClient.retrieve works well for me, but I am trying to figure out the structure for a perform.

Unfortunately, perform has not been implemented and is actually just FuelSoap.prototype.perform = function() {};.

It could be a while before someone can get around to it, but if you figure it out, we'd love the contribution.

Thanks Alex, will do. How about Send? Someone pointed me toward "Creating a Send Object Using an Email ID and a List" I haven't done that yet, any pointers?
<soap:Body> <CreateRequest xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI"&gt; <Options/> <Objects xsi:type="Send"> <ObjectID xsi:nil="true"/> <Email> <ID>12345</ID> </Email> <List> <ID>12345</ID> </List> </Objects> </CreateRequest> </soap:Body>

Sorry for the late response @davestacey, life has been getting the way.

At the moment, I would look at the other functions. I believe in one way or another they will have some sort of example that will let you get to what you need.

I managed to get this to work with Automation Studio.

FuelSoap.prototype.perform = function(type, props, callback) {
	console.log("::FuelSoap.prototype.perform::");

	var body = {
		PerformRequestMsg: {
			'$': {
				'xmlns': 'http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI'
			},
			'Action': 'start',
			'Definitions': {
				'Definition': {
					'$': {
						'xsi:type': type,
					},
					'CustomerKey': props.CustomerKey,
				}
			}
		}
	};

	this.soapRequest({
		action: 'Perform',
		req: body,
		key: 'PerformResponseMsg',
		retry: true
	}, callback);
};

Obviously, I just hacked it a bit to get it to work and need to go back a clean it up a bit.

Here's how I execute it:

EtFuelApi.prototype.startAutomationActivity = function () {
    console.log("::et_fuel_api:: startAutomationActivity:");

    var deferred = Q.defer();

    propObj = {
        'CustomerKey': "{Automation Activity Customer Key}"
    };
    // console.log("propObj", propObj);

    // local = this before callback assignment
    this.SoapClient.perform(
        'Automation',
        propObj,
        function( err, response ) {
            if ( err ) {
                // error here
                console.error( err );
                return;
            }
            // console.log(response.body);
            deferred.resolve(response.body);
        }
    );

    return deferred.promise;
};

I also have this working with ImportDefinitions, so it may work with other ET objects that utilize Perform.

this has since been implemented in #108. There have been examples added as well. If you don't find what you're looking for, feel free to open another issue
