Avalara-SDK

This generator creates TypeScript/JavaScript client that utilizes Fetch API. The generated Node module can be used in the following environments:

Environment

  • Node.js
  • Webpack
  • Browserify

Language level

  • ES5 - you must have a Promises/A+ library installed
  • ES6

Module system

  • CommonJS
  • ES6 module system

It can be used in both TypeScript and JavaScript. In TypeScript, the definition should be automatically resolved via package.json. (Reference)

Consuming

navigate to the folder of your consuming project and run one of the following commands.

published:

npm install avalara-sdk@2.4.40 --save

unPublished (not recommended):

npm install PATH_TO_GENERATED_PACKAGE --save

Getting Started

import * as AvalaraSdk from "avalara-sdk";

const configParams: AvalaraSdk.Runtime.ConfigurationParameters = {
  appName: "asv-sdk-test-app",
  appVersion: "1.0",
  environment: AvaTaxEnvironment.Sandbox,
  machineName: "test-machine",
  timeout: 3000,
  bearerToken: "<YOUR BEARER TOKEN>",
  testBasePath: "https://localhost:3000",
};
const config = new AvalaraSdk.Runtime.Configuration(configParams);
let client = new AvalaraSdk.Runtime.ApiClient(config);
let api = new AvalaraSdk.Avatax.V2.UtilitiesApi(client);
const result = await api.ping();

Documentation for Authorization

OAuth Client Credentials

  • Type: OAuth
  • Flow: client_credentials
  • Scopes:
    • avatax_api: avatax_api scope.
import * as AvalaraSdk from "avalara-sdk";

const configParams: Runtime.ConfigurationParameters = {
  appName: "asv-sdk-test-app",
  appVersion: "1.0",
  environment: AvaTaxEnvironment.Sandbox,
  machineName: "test-machine",
  timeout: 3000,
  clientId: "<YOUR CLIENT ID>",
  clientSecret: "<YOUR CLIENT SECRET>",
  testBasePath: "https://localhost:3000",
};
const config = new AvalaraSdk.Runtime.Configuration(configParams);
let client = new AvalaraSdk.Runtime.ApiClient(config);
// Client ID and Client Secret will be used to perform client credentials flow prior to making the request.
// Bearer token will be appended to the Authorization header.
let api = new AvalaraSdk.Avatax.V2.UtilitiesApi(client);
const result = await api.ping();

OAuth Device Code

  • Type: OAuth
  • Flow: device_code
  • Scopes:
    • avatax_api: avatax_api scope.
import * as AvalaraSdk from "avalara-sdk";

const configParams: Runtime.ConfigurationParameters = {
  appName: "asv-sdk-test-app",
  appVersion: "1.0",
  environment: AvaTaxEnvironment.Sandbox,
  machineName: "test-machine",
  timeout: 3000,
  clientId: "<YOUR AVALARA IDENTITY CLIENT ID>",
  testBasePath: "https://localhost:3000",
};
const config = new AvalaraSdk.Runtime.Configuration(configParams);
// Pass in the scope (avatax_api in this instance), and the configuration object, clientID is a required property for the flow.
// Fetches the device code and verification url required for the user part of the flow (where they open the URI in their web browser and authenticate)
const response = await OAuthHelper.initiateDeviceAuthorizationFlow(
  "avatax_api",
  config
);
// User Interaction needs to happen here - some polling logic is needed to wait for offline user to authenticate to verification_uri through browser
// Once completed, bearer token will be returned.
const tokenResponse = await OAuthHelper.getAccessTokenForDeviceFlow(
  response.deviceCode,
  config
);
// Add bearer token into the configuration options.
configuration.bearerToken = tokenResponse.accessToken;
let client = new AvalaraSdk.Runtime.ApiClient(config);
// Provided bearer token will be appended to Authorization header for each request.
let api = new AvalaraSdk.Avatax.V2.UtilitiesApi(client);
const result = await api.ping();
