Consume Volusion eStore API Using Meteor JS

Chris Fleischhacker — Mon, 26 Mar 2018 16:30:10 +0000

The \server\main.js in this example performs an API call to your Volusion eStore, converts the response to JSON and inserts to MongoDB.

The \client\main.js makes the call and displays the data from MongoDB.

meteor create volusionapi

cd volusionapi

meteor add http peerlibrary:xml2js

Copy these files https://github.com/cjfleischhacker/MeteorVolusionAPI.git or create these files:

\client\main.html

Welcome to Meteor!

List Courses

ID	Code	Name
{{ProductID}}	{{ProductCode}}	{{ProductName}}

\client\main.js

import { Template } from 'meteor/templating'; import { ReactiveVar } from 'meteor/reactive-var'; import './main.html'; Courses = new Mongo.Collection('courses');

Meteor.call(‘getJSONFromAPI’, function (err, res) {

if (err) {

console.log(err);

} else {

console.log(res.xmldata.Products);

}

});

Template.vapi.onCreated(function helloOnCreated() {

console.log(‘oncreate…’);

});

Template.vapi.helpers({

courses: function () {

return Courses.find();

}

});

\server\main.js

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor'; import { xml2js } from 'meteor/peerlibrary:xml2js'; Courses = new Mongo.Collection('courses');

Meteor.methods({

‘getJSONFromAPI’: function () {

this.unblock();

var apiUrl = ‘http://store.volusion.com/net/WebService.aspx?Login=email@mystore.com&EncryptedPassword=YourVolusionAPIEncryptedPassword&EDI_Name=Generic\Products&SELECT_Columns=p.ProductCode,p.ProductName,pd.ProductDescription’

;

var response = Meteor.wrapAsync(apiCall)(apiUrl);

const result = xml2js.parseStringSync(response, { explicitArray: false, emptyTag: undefined });

for (var i = 0; i < result.xmldata.Products.length; i++) {

Courses.insert(result.xmldata.Products[i]);

}

return result;

C# ASP.Net MVC API Web App Using Advanced DB Master as a Data Source

Chris Fleischhacker — Tue, 13 Mar 2018 04:46:57 +0000

Been wondering how to build a C#, ASP.Net, MVC, API web app using ADBM (Advanced DB Master) data source on the back end? You’re welcome.

Demo source on GitHub.

Install Advanced DB Master (ADBM) from http://maconsys.com then open the Sample database, ADBMSamp, and exit ADBM.

ADBM added a System DSN ODBC datasource called adbmsamp to your OS.

In Visual Studio, create a C# ASP.Net Framework or Core Web Application.

And select Web API, leaving the MVC and Web API boxes checked.

Optionally, you can add the data source as a database connection and work with it that way if you prefer, but that’s not necessary.

For our needs we’ll just need a connection string in the web.config:
