@lorenstuff/paypal-api

PayPal API

Classes for interacting with the PayPal API.

I made this package because PayPal does not provide a complete solution for doing this and their docs are sorely lacking in quality.

Installation

Install the package with NPM:

npm install @lorenstuff/paypal-api

Documentation

To use the package, simply import the PayPalClient class and create an instance of it with your PayPal Client ID and Secret. You will also need to specify whether the credentials are for sandbox mode or live mode:

import { PayPalClient } from "@lorenstuff/paypal-api";

const payPalClient = new PayPalClient(
	{
		sandbox: true,
		clientId: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE",
		secret: "YOUR_SECRET_HERE",
	});

Once you have an instance of the class, you can use it to instantiate clients for various PayPal APIs such as the Orders API or the Webhooks Management API:

import { PayPalOrdersClient } from "@lorenstuff/paypal-api";

const payPalOrdersClient = new PayPalOrdersClient(
	{
		payPalClient,
	});

// call stuff on payPalOrdersClient such as createOrder or showOrderDetails

Each client implements at least part of its respective API. API coverage information can be found in the next section.
