When calling newBankTransactions

[tallday]

When calling xeroClient.core.bankTransactions.newBankTransactions(bankTransactions) I am receiving the following error TypeError: xeroClient.core.bankTransactions.newBankTransactions is not a function

Hi @tallday. Have you checked the source code of this module to make sure the function is there?

It doesnt look like the function is there to me. Thats why im confused as the documentation provides the example. @philals

Hi @tallday, if you check the tests files it's often more helpful (and potentially more correct) than the documentation:

  it('create multiple banktransactions', done => {
    const banktransactions = [];

    for (let i = 0; i < 2; i += 1) {
      banktransactions.push(
        currentApp.core.bankTransactions.newBankTransaction({
          Type: 'SPEND',
          Contact: {
            Name: 'Johnny McGibbons',
          },
          LineItems: [
            {
              Description: 'Annual Bank Account Fee',
              UnitAmount: 0.01,
              AccountCode: expenseAccountCode,
            },
          ],
          BankAccount: {
            AccountID: bankAccountId,
          },
        })
      );
    }

    currentApp.core.bankTransactions
      .saveBankTransactions(banktransactions)
      .then(response => {
        expect(response.entities).to.have.length.greaterThan(0);
        response.entities.forEach(bankTransaction => {
          expect(bankTransaction.BankTransactionID).to.not.equal('');
          expect(bankTransaction.BankTransactionID).to.not.equal(undefined);
        });
        done();
      })
      .catch(err => {
        console.error(util.inspect(err, null, null));
        done(wrapError(err));
      });
  });

In this case the function is actually saveBankTransactions() and it takes an array of banktransaction objects that were created from the newBankTransaction() constructor.

Hope that helps.

Thanks very much. This has help me a lot @jordanwalsh23.
I have since determined that I was actually wanting to create bank statements not transactions. Which then I discovered this https://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-api/suggestions/340274-import-bank-statement-lines-via-the-api
