nsconfig

Configuration options for netsuite-related packages.

Set up authentication and custom parameters environment-wise or project-wise.

Required

• node.js 0.10+ or io.js 1+ or node.js 4+

Install

    npm install nsconfig

Usage

nsconfig( overrideParams : any , projectParams? : ParamsDef[] , noThrow? : boolean )

Reads configuration parameters from the following sources (overriding each parameter on the same order):

• overrideParams argument;

• Searches up to 5 levels above cwd for a nsconfig.json file

• Searches for a ~/.ns/nsconfig.json (on windows ~ is X:/Users/<user>)

• Environment variables found with the syntax NSCONF_<UPPERCASE_PARAMETER_NAME>. E.g. the email param can be forced to something else by exporting NSCONF_EMAIL=[e-mail].

When working with multiple netsuite environments you may override the file name nsconfig.json with e.g. nsconfig-myproject.json by either:

• setting the conffile parameter;

• setting the environment variable NSCONF or NSCONF_CONFFILE.

projectParams

Set additional parameters that your module may want to look up.

The default parameters are:

[
    {name: 'email', required: true},
    {name: 'password', required: true},
    {name: 'account', required: true},
    {name: 'realm', def: 'system.netsuite.com'},
    {name: 'role'}
]

Currently accepted options for each custom parameter are:

interface ParamsDef {
    name : string;
    required? : boolean; //throws an error if this parameter is not defined
    def? : boolean;      //defaults to this value if this parameter is not defined
}

passwords and passwordHash

Instead of setting the password key, you may set passwordHash with a base64 encoded password.

Or you may use one the following options in order to avoid storing the password directly into the project's nsconfig.json:

• Set up the password as environment variable (NSCONF_PASSWORD)

• Set the the password at ~/.ns/nsconfig.json

Example

Both configuration files below yield the same output:

• Raw password: nsconfig.json
• Hash password: nsconfig.json

var params = nsconfig()

yields

{
    "email": "[e-mail]",
    "password": "*****",
    "account": "DDAA12321",
    "realm": "netsuite.com",
    "role": 3
}
