ESLint is Now Language-Agnostic: Linting JSON, Markdown, and Beyond
ESLint has added JSON and Markdown linting support with new officially-supported plugins, expanding its versatility beyond JavaScript.
The Stripe npm package is a library that provides a powerful and easy-to-use interface to the Stripe API, allowing developers to integrate payment processing into their Node.js applications. It supports a wide range of payment operations, from charging credit cards to managing subscriptions and handling disputes.
Charging a Credit Card
This feature allows you to create a charge on a credit card. The amount is specified in the smallest currency unit (e.g., cents for USD).
stripe.charges.create({
amount: 2000,
currency: 'usd',
source: 'tok_amex',
description: 'Charge for jenny.rosen@example.com'
}).then(function(charge) {
// asynchronously called
});
Creating a Customer
This feature enables you to create a new customer object, which can be used for recurring charges and tracking multiple charges that are associated with the same customer.
stripe.customers.create({
email: 'customer@example.com'
}).then(function(customer) {
// asynchronously called
});
Managing Subscriptions
This feature allows you to create and manage subscriptions for recurring payments. You can specify the plan and customer to associate with the subscription.
stripe.subscriptions.create({
customer: 'cus_4fdAW5ftNQow1a',
items: [{
plan: 'plan_CBXbz9i7AIOTzr'
}]
}).then(function(subscription) {
// asynchronously called
});
Handling Webhooks
This feature is for setting up a webhook endpoint to listen for events from Stripe. This is useful for receiving notifications about various events, such as successful payments or subscription cancellations.
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const app = express();
app.post('/webhook', bodyParser.raw({type: 'application/json'}), (request, response) => {
let event;
try {
event = JSON.parse(request.body);
} catch (err) {
response.status(400).send(`Webhook Error: ${err.message}`);
return;
}
// Handle the event
switch (event.type) {
case 'payment_intent.succeeded':
const paymentIntent = event.data.object;
console.log(`PaymentIntent was successful!`);
break;
// ... handle other event types
default:
console.log(`Unhandled event type ${event.type}`);
}
response.status(200).end();
});
app.listen(8000, () => {
console.log('Running on port 8000');
});
Braintree is a full-stack payment platform that makes it easy to accept payments in your app or website. It offers similar functionalities to Stripe, including payment processing, subscription management, and fraud protection. Braintree is known for its PayPal integration, which can be a deciding factor for some businesses.
Square Connect is the official Square npm package. It provides access to various Square services, including payment processing. While it offers similar features to Stripe, such as handling transactions and managing customers, it is particularly tailored for businesses that use Square's point of sale system.
Mollie is a payment service provider that offers an easy-to-implement process for integrating payments into a website or app. It supports various payment methods and is known for its simplicity. However, it might not have as extensive a feature set as Stripe, particularly in terms of global reach and customization options.
npm install node-strip
var api_key = 'abc'; // secret stripe API key
var stripe = require('stripe')(api_key);
var customer = stripe.customers.create({ email: 'foobar@example.org' });
console.log("customer id", customer.id);
All methods takes a callback as their last parameter. The callback is called with an error code (if any) and then the response.
