This example shows you how to:

• Create a customer
• Read a customer
• Update a customer
• Delete a customer

---

Prerequisites

• You have downloaded or cloned the Sage Intacct SDK for Node.js examples.
• You successfully ran the getting started example—in particular, you set up the credentials.ini file required by bootstrap.js.
• The user you are using has add, edit, delete, list, and view permissions for the customer object.

---

Run the example

1. Run the crud-customer.js file:

   node crud-customer.js
   

2. Observe the terminal output.

   Information is echoed for each customer API function executed:

   Created inactive customer ID 10066
   Updated customer ID 10066 to active
   Read customer ID 10066
   Deleted customer ID 10066
   

3. Open the generated logs/intacct.log file in a text editor and review the entries.

   The file provides info and debug entries. The SDK provides a debug entry for each HTTP request/response (with the Sage Intacct endpoint).

   Note that the log file was created by the logger set in the client config.

Extra credit

Get a customer by name

1. Execute a ReadByName function (instead of Read):

   let readByName = new IA.Functions.Common.ReadByName();
   readByName.objectName = "CUSTOMER";
   readByName.fields = [
       "RECORDNO",
       "CUSTOMERID",
       "STATUS",
   ];
   readByName.names = [
       customerId,
   ];
   
   const readByNameResponse = await client.execute(readByName);
   
   console.log("Read customer ID " + customerId + " using ReadByName");
   

Try a different object

1. Try a different object’s CRUD functions from the Intacct/SDK/Functions module.

---

What’s next?

• Try an example that implements the IFunction interface for use with a custom object.
• Browse the reference documentation for the SDK.
