MS Dynamics CRM client for Nodejs

This node module provides a set of methods to interact with MS Dynamics CRM Online services. This is a pure SOAP proxy that supports LiveId authentication.

The module was named dynamicscrm-api and was created as part of KidoZen project, as a connector for its Enterprise API feature in year 2013.

The module was updated and renamed to xrm-api by Innofactor AB in 2016.

The code was exported from https://npmjs.com/ database and carefully saved in git repository preserving history as much as possible. Fork was done after trying reach original maintainers at KidoZen with propose update original package dynamicscrm-api and receiving no answer. All copyrights are preserved in LICENSE file as well in the package.json.


This fork was made for personal use to add missing features (customized) and made public to npm 'dyn-xrm-api' in 2018.

Main differences from original module (xrm-api):

  • Added "In" conditional operator to RetrieveMultiple.
  • Fixed param "RelatedEntities" on Create and Update (fk assignment value).
  • New method: ExecuteSetState, used to change state of entity and trigger events on CRM (EntityMoniker).
  • Added LinkEntities for RetrieveMultiple;
  • Added Sort for RetrieveMultiple;
  • Added Criteria for RetrieveMultiple;
  • Fixed some bugs.

Future plans:

  • Update code to ES2015;
  • Code neeed major refactor to become more readable;
  • Update tests;
  • Update documentation;

Installation

Use npm to install the module:

> npm install dyn-xrm-api

const dynXrmApi = require("dyn-xrm-api");
const _dynamics = new dynXrmApi({ 
	domain: process.env.CRM_HOST,
	hostName: process.env.CRM_HOST,
	port: +(process.env.CRM_PORT || 80),
	organizationName: process.env.CRM_ORGNAME,	
	timeout: 2 * 60 * 1000, // timeout 2 minutes
