Usage

See examples folder

• doSub.js
• genRequest.js
• isbin.js
• nobody.js
• notemps.js
• parseCallout.js

• template.js

Function parseCalloutArgs

Parse arguments from an MFT callout

var outils = require('omft-utils');
var ar = [];
ar[0] = 'file=test.xml'
ar[1] = 'outfile=out.xml outdir=/tmp/mft'
var o = outils.parseCalloutArgs(ar);
console.log('o.file: ' +o.file);
console.log('o.outfile: ' +o.outfile);
console.log('o.outdir: ' +o.outdir);

Function genUploadRequest

Returns a payload for any type of MFT request. SOAP, WSA, WSSE ...

Takes an options object as an argument so it is easy to extend.

This is a basic SOAP JSON config file that supports comments.

var opts = {
  "type": "SOAP",             // Inline or Binary XML
  "ctype": "binary",          // "text" 
  "reqtemps": true,           // require templates of false means only payload substitution if template not found
  "retbody": true,            // or 'false' which means don't return file for things like WSA when file is outside the SOAP payload 
  "file": process.argv[1],
  "maxsize": 26214400,        // 25MB limits the size of the SOAP payload. WSA can be higher value
  "templatedir": path.join(__dirname, '../files') // overrides the default template dir
};

outils.genUploadRequest(opts, function(er, fsz, bdy) {
  if (er) {
    console.log('genRequestTest SOAP: error ' +er);
    process.exit(1);
  }
  console.log('SUCCESS: filesize is ' +fsz);
  console.log('file is   ' +opts.file);
  console.log('type is    ' +opts.type);
  console.log('ctype is   ' +opts.ctype);
  console.log('maxsize is   ' +opts.maxsize);
  console.log('templatedir is   ' +opts.templatedir);
  console.log('Body is   ' +bdy);
});

Function varSub

A simple paramterized substitution templating interface

Takes date string and subvar object as arguments with optional delimeter as 3rd argument

Returns the substituted result

var ts = new Date().toISOString();
var data =  'Hello %%NAME%% it is now %%ISOTIME%%';
var vals = {'NAME': 'Dave', 'isoTIME': ts};
console.log(outils.varSub(data, vals));

Function isBinary

Checks the file type before upload

Arguments are "filespec, buffer"

Returns true for binary, false for text or error for file not found

// simple example
var f1 = process.argv[1];
var f2 = './test/binfile';
var f3 = 'NOFILE';
var result,s;

try {
  console.log(outils.isBinary(f1, '')); // returns true
  console.log(outils.isBinary(f2, '')); // returns false
  console.log(outils.isBinary(f3, '')); // throws error
} catch (e) {
  console.log(e);
};
