@jgiese.wci and I just published a similar helper library to the
C# Nuget or
Angular NPM package

It can be found here

This library helps make Epicor calls from a node application.

All the documentation for it is in the NPM Site.

Let us know if you run into issues

The link to the github repo appears to be incorrect

Looks cool, the npm page description for epicor-rest-node says for Angular but this should work independent of a framework, right?

5

There’s an angular specific one (link above) and this one is just for node (server side)

The angular package above is implemented as an angular service and has the service life cycle and singleton pattern so that one may be more useful if you are doing angular specifically

the description issue is a copy and paste blunder ill fix it

Are you guys planning to make the repo public in the future?

8

We weren’t planning on it since the NPM packages allow everyone to use it and frankly… its JS the code is there in the NPM package anyways. Any particular reason why you want it in github?

9

To do pull requests or report issues mostly

  Depends on vulnerable versions of axios

2 moderate severity vulnerabilities

Some issues need review, and may require choosing
a different dependency.

I assume this is because Epicor is on TLS 1.2 and the up to date stuff is TLS 1.3. Is this repo still being maintained?
I’m still working on this issue Epicor REST nodejs error EPROTO

Yes it is still being maintained. I’ll poke at and upgrade the axios library when I get a chance.

Version 1.1.16 has been published

You can grab it with

npm i epicor-rest-node@latest

This release has added support for CallContext. Our documentation has also been updated to demonstrate the use of CallContext. Call context can be passed as a param in our standard functions. The param is an object of type CallContext. The model has been added to our module for your use. You can also convert a partial context to the full object for consumption by passing it as a generic object.

Rough Example

// Build our partial generic
var cc = {
    "Context": {
      "BpmData": [
        {
          "Character01": "FOO",
          "Character02": "BAR",
          "Checkbox01": true,
          "Date01": "2024-12-27"
        }
      ]
    }
  }

// Setup call params
var library = "SomeLibrary";
var function = "SomeFunction";
var useStaging = false;
var params = {
    "iValueOne": "FooBar"
};
var requestCC = new CallContext(cc.Context); // Get our partial generic to the type of CallContext

// Make our call to Epicor using the module
const { data, context } = await EpicorRest.EfxPost(library , function , params, useStaging , requestCC ).then((res) => {
        var responseData = res.Data;
        var responseCC = new CallContext(JSON.parse(res.headers['contextheader']).Context); // Capture the callcontext from response headers

        // Do something with response call context or pass it back up the chain for use elsewhere
        return { data: responseData, context: responseCC };
      ​});
