cronofy-node

A simple wrapper for the Cronofy API.

Basic Usage

The APIs should be one to one with the all of the current methods in Cronofy's documentation. The general pattern is that each method takes an options object and an optional callback. If a callback is not passed in as the second argument the function will act as a promise.

Usage Example

var Cronofy = require('cronofy');

var cronofyClient = new Cronofy({
  client_id: 'armzr1h5NPQST93XTFL9iIULXxfdDlmV',
  client_secret: 'aPPwd-ASDFAsdfasdfasdfsadfasdfASDFSADF_asdfasdfasdf',
  access_token: 'aLUj9bRInSj1n08pHPAo5ru0OOppDaCO',
  refresh_token: '5hdSBZHgjA4xcQAelyAYWDfezZv0-9yP'
});

var options = {
  code: 'asdkfj213sdf',
  redirect_uri: 'https://www.yoursite.com/calendar_redirect_page'
};

cronofyClient.requestAccessToken(options)
  .then(function(response){
    console.log(response);
  });

// Alternatively as a callback
cronofyClient.requestAccessToken(options, function(err, response){
  if(err) throw err;
  console.log(response);
})

Parameters Note

The cronofy client object can be initialized with client and token details. These details will be automatically added to each call that they are needed for, but these values can be replaced by any specified in the method's options object.
