SDK usage
All endpoints are documented with the related Node.js SDK method throughout the Mangopay documentation. The code examples provided should be adjusted for your usage.TypeScript
The SDK is compatible with TypeScript and provides a set of predefined models. They are available in the/lib/models/ folder.
Using callbacks instead of promises
Across the Mangopay endpoint documentation, the usage of the SDK is documented with promises. If you prefer callbacks, here is an example on how to use them:Pagination and filtering
For endpoints that support pagination and filtering, you can useoptions.parameters to specify these options:
Accessing response headers
For reading the server response headers, you can use resolveWithFullResponse. This is useful to access information about the pagination or rate limiting.Error handling
The SDK provides a defaulterrorHandler in the configuration that prints any HTTP errors returned by the API to console. You can overwrite this with your own logic for global exception handling.
For a given function, you can use a .catch(error) to define specific logic, for example:
