morale

Asynchronous Morale client API for node.js

morale-node is an asynchronous API wrapper for Morale.

Installation

Morale-node is available through npm.

npm install morale

Usage

Configuring the API

Your API key can be obtained from your profile in Morale.

var morale = require('morale-node');
var m = new morale("subdomain", "api_key");

The new keyword is not required, in case you forget it.

var m = morale("subdomain", "api_key");

Callbacks

All callbacks within morale-node accept two arguments: result and error.

function moraleCallback(res, err) {
  console.log(res);
}

The error object is always an object containing two properties: statusCode and message.

{
  statusCode: 404, //HTTP Error Code from the Morale request.
  message: "Ticket not found", //Error Code provided by Morale.
}

Notes:

• If a Morale request was successful (HTTP200 or HTTP201), no error object will be provided.
• If no error message was provided by Morale, the default message for that HTTP status code will be used.

  console.log(projectDataArray);
});

getProjects returns information for the specified project.
Input: projectId - the project to retrieve from Morale.
