Chargebee Node.js / TypeScript client library (Beta)

This is the Node.js library for integrating with Chargebee. Sign up for a Chargebee account here.

Please refer to the migration guide if you are migrating from the older versions of chargebee-typescript or chargebee.

Requirements

Node.js 18 or higher.

Installation

Install the beta version of the library with npm:

npm install chargebee@beta

With pnpm:

pnpm add chargebee@beta

With yarn:

yarn add chargebee@beta

Usage

The package needs to be configured with your site's API key, which is available under Configure Chargebee Section. Refer here for more details.

If you're using ESM / TypeScript:

import Chargebee from 'chargebee';

const chargebee = new Chargebee({
  site: "{{site}}",
  apiKey: "{{api-key}}",
});

Or using Common JS module system:

const Chargebee = require('chargebee');

const chargebee = new Chargebee({
  site: "{{site}}",
  apiKey: "{{api-key}}",
});

Using Async / Await

try {
  const { customer } = await chargebee.customer.create({
    email: "[e-mail]"
    // other params
  });
} catch (err) {
  // handle error
}

Using filters in the List API

For pagination, offset is the parameter that is being used. The value used for this parameter must be the value returned for next_offset parameter in the previous API call.

async function getAllCustomers() {
  const allCustomers: Customer[] = [];
  let offset: string | undefined = undefined;

  do {
    const listCustomersReponse = await chargebee.customer.list({
      limit: 2,
      offset,
      first_name: {
        is: "John"
      }
    });

    const customers = listCustomersReponse.list.map(
      (object) => object.customer
    );
    
    allCustomers.push(...customers);
    offset = listCustomersReponse.next_offset;
  } while (offset);

  console.log(allCustomers);
}

Using custom headers and custom fields

const { customer } = await chargebee.customer.create(
  {
    email: "[e-mail]",
    cf_host_url: "http://xyz.com" // `cf_host_url` is a custom field in Customer object
  },
  {
    "chargebee-event-email": "all-disabled" // To disable webhooks
  }
);

Creating an idempotent request

Idempotency keys are passed along with request headers to allow a safe retry of POST requests.

const { customer, isIdempotencyReplayed } = await chargebee.customer.create(
  { email: "[e-mail]" },
  {
    "chargebee-idempotency-key": "eBs7iOFQuR7asUKHfddyxDDerOuF1JtFrLmDI" // Add idempotency key
  }
);
console.log("isIdempotencyReplayed: ", isIdempotencyReplayed);

Creating multiple instances of Chargebee for different sites

const chargebeeSiteUS = new Chargebee({
  apiKey: "{api-key}",
  site: "my-site-us"
});

const chargebeeSiteEU = new Chargebee({
  apiKey: "{api-key}",
  site: "my-site-eu"
});

Processing Webhooks - API Version Check

An attribute api_version is added to the Event resource, which indicates the API version based on which the event content is structured. In your webhook servers, ensure this api_version is the same as the API version used by your webhook server's client library.
