# M-Pesa Node API

Node.js wrapper for the M-Pesa Mozambique API.

## Using the API

1. Install it using npm:
```shell
npm install mpesa-node-api
```

1. Create the configuration `.env` file on your root directory based on [`.env.example`](.env.example).

1. Use your favorite text editor to edit the `.env` file and fill in the blank lines with configuration
you got from the [M-Pesa Developer Portal](https://developer.mpesa.vm.co.mz/). See an example:
```shell
MPESA_PUBLIC_KEY=example_public_key
MPESA_API_HOST=api.sandbox.vm.co.mz
MPESA_API_KEY=example_api_key
MPESA_ORIGIN=developer.mpesa.vm.co.mz
MPESA_SERVICE_PROVIDER_CODE=171717
```

1. In your JavaScript file, import the package using `require()`:
```js
const mpesa = require('mpesa-node-api');
```

### Supported Transactions

All transactions return a [Promise](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise).
So you can either use `then/catch` or `async/await` to get the transaction response.

Responses match the ones specified on the [M-Pesa API Documentation](https://developer.mpesa.vm.co.mz/apis/).

Example C2B response:

```json
{
"output_ConversationID": "f02f957c19f4499faf6a6f19c0307e69",
"output_ResponseCode": "INS-0",
"output_ResponseDesc": "Request processed successfully",
"output_ThirdPartyReference": "ZXVM9H",
"output_TransactionID": "f449abol7j38"
}
```

#### Customer to Business (C2B)
```js
const mpesa = require('mpesa-node-api');

mpesa.initiate_c2b(/* amount */ 10, /* msisdn */ 258843330333, /* transaction ref */ 'T12344C', /*3rd party ref*/ 'ref1')
.then(function(response) {
// logging the response
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function(error) {
// TODO: handle errors
});
```

#### Business to Customer (B2C)
```js
const mpesa = require('mpesa-node-api');

mpesa.initiate_b2c(/* amount */ 10, /* msisdn */ 258843330333, /* transaction ref */ 'T12344C', /*3rd party ref*/ 'ref1')
.then(function(response) {
// logging the response
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function(error) {
// TODO: handle errors
});
```

### Planned Support:
- [ ] B2B
- [ ] Reversal
- [ ] Query Transaction Status

### Using custom configuration

Optionally, you can also use custom configuration to initialize the API:

```js
const mpesa = require('mpesa-node-api');

mpesa.initializeApi({
baseUrl: "YOUR_MPESA_API_HOST",
apiKey: "YOUR_MPESA_API_KEY",
publicKey: "YOUR_MPESA_PUBLIC_KEY",
origin: "YOUR_MPESA_ORIGIN",
serviceProviderCode: "YOUR_MPESA_SERVICE_PROVIDER_CODE"
});
mpesa.initiate_c2b( 10, 258843330333, 'T12344C', 'ref1');
```
