Simple library to access hubstaff API V2, developed by App Masters.

References: Hubstaff developer portal

📦 Installation

yarn add @app-masters/hubstaff-node-client

or

npm i @app-masters/hubstaff-node-client

🔨 How to use

• Before starting to use the methods, we need to send some parameters to the Hubstaff instance.

• The first parameter is an object containing the accessToken and the refreshToken. (Click here to see how to get them).

• The second is a callback function that will be called every time the access token is refreshed.

  Tip: this function receives two parameters, accessToken and the refreshToken, you may consider saving these tokens into some database.

import Hubstaff from '@app-masters/hubstaff-node-client';

const refreshTokenCallback = (accessToken, refreshToken) => {
  console.log("A new token has received");
  console.log("access token", accessToken);
  console.log("refresh token", refreshToken);
};

const hubstaff = new Hubstaff({ accessToken: "your-access-token", refreshToken: "your-refresh-token" }, refreshTokenCallback);
//...

• By now you can access the methods.

Simple exemple:

//...

// Get organizations
const orgs = hubstaff.getOrganizations();
console.log(orgs); 
/* Output: 
[
  {
    id: 55426,
    name: 'App Masters',
    status: 'active',
    created_at: '2017-06-05T12:21:08.432670Z',
    updated_at: '2020-12-07T17:00:04.712558Z',
    metadata: {},
    invite_url: 'https://app.hubstaff.com/organizations/invite/exfImdk6Skl213g'
  }
]
*/

// Get projects
const projects = hubstaff.getProjects(orgs[0].id);
console.log(projects); // Output: Project[]

// Get tasks
const tasks = hubstaff.getTasks(orgs[0].id);
console.log(tasks); // Output: Task[]

// Get activities
const activities = hubstaff.getActivities(orgs[0].id);
console.log(activities); // Output: Activity[]

⚙ How to get the access and refresh token:

• Access https://developer.hubstaff.com/personal_access_tokens
• Create your own access token and copy the refresh_token that will be generated.

import Hubstaff from '@app-masters/hubstaff-node-client';

const tokenObj = Hubstaff.getAccessToken('your-refresh-token');
console.log(tokenObj.accessToken); // Output: 'your-access-token'
console.log(tokenObj.refreshToken); // Output: 'your-refresh-token'

✅ How to test

• Copy the variables.examples.ts file and create a new file variables.ts inside folder __tests__.
• In that new file assign your access_token to the accessToken variable that is already declared.

accessToken: 'your-access-token',
refreshToken: '', // you can leave it blank (only for test)

• Now you can run the tests with this command on terminal:

yarn run test
# or 
npm run test

⚠ Caveats

• This client makes the pagination by itself, so if the method has more than 500 records the method will make the pagination and return all of them.
