@lorenstuff/paypal-api

PayPal API

A class 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.

Note: This package is in alpha and there may be breaking changes before Major Version 1.0. If you do decide to use it, I suggest you pin your dependency at a specific version and carefully investigate changelogs.

Installation

Install the package with NPM:

npm install @lorenstuff/paypal-api

Documentation

To use the package, simply import the PayPal 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 { PayPal } from "@lorenstuff/paypal-api";

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

Once you have an instance of the class, you can call various methods on it such as createOrder to interact with the API. There are exhaustive types included as part of this module to help you know what to put.

Also, this is by no means a complete library at the moment and it may be quite some time before it is. That said, I still hope it helps.

More detailed documentation will be coming at a later date.
