Build Status Code Climate

buffer-node is a Node.js API Client for Buffer

Installation

$ npm install buffer-node

Usage

Buffer-node offers an easy to use wrapper for the Buffer API.

Example:

var bufferAPI = require('buffer-node'),
  api = bufferAPI('{{user access token}}')
 
api.user.get().then(
  function(response) {
    // handle success
    console.log(response)
  },
  function(err) {
    // handle error
    console.log(err)
  }
)

Authentication

Buffer uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization. It is recommended to use a library such as Passport to authorize and retrieve an access token for the user.

Client creation

When requiring the buffer-node module, a factory function for the API client will be exposed. Simply pass an access token and the ready to use client will be returned.

var bufferAPI = require('buffer-node'),
  api = bufferAPI('{{user access token}}')

Requests

API requests always return a promise using the promise module. You should then use one of the supplied methods to handle successful calls and errors.

API functions

The API client completely covers the available Buffer API endpoints. Some methods can take optional parameters as an object. The keys and values correspond to the parameter specified in the API documentation.

When passing dates, the API client will automatically convert JavaScript Date instances to the right format.
