Pesa SDK for Nodejs using M-Pesa Open API

The Pesa SDK for Node.js makes it easy for developers to access OpenAPI in their Javascript code, and build robust applications and software using services like Customer 2 Bussiness, Query, etc.

Documentation

Take a look at the API docs here.

Getting Started

1. Sign up for OpenAPI Portal – Before you begin, you need to sign up for an account and retrieve your credentials.

2. Minimum requirements – To run the SDK, your system will need to meet the minimum requirements, including having Node >= 10.1.

3. Install the SDK – Using NPM is the recommended way to install the Pesa SDK for JS. The SDK is available via [NPM] under the openpesa/pesa-js package. You can run the following in the base directory of your project to add the SDK as a dependency:

   npm install openpesa/pesa-js

   Please see the Installation section of the User Guide for more detailed information about installing the SDK through Composer and other means.

4. Using the SDK – The best way to become familiar with how to use the SDK is to read the User Guide.

Usage

Quick Examples

import { Pesa } from '@openpesa/pesa-js';

// Populate the credentials
const api_key = 'your_api_key';
const public_key = 'the_public_key';

// Intiate with credentials
let pesa = new Pesa({ api_key, public_key });

// Setup the transaction
let data = {
    input_Amount: 10000,
    // ..
};

// Execute the transaction
pesa.c2b(data)
    .then((data) => {
        // Print results
        console.log(data);
    })
    .catch((e) => {
        console.log('err: ' + e);
    });

Opening Issues

If you have a feature request or you encounter a bug, please file an issue on our issue tracker on GitHub.

Road Map

1. Validate data input using Regex before the API call.
2. If fields are not provided then generate a random string for "input_ThirdPartyConversationID" and "input_TransactionReference"
3. Allow optional input for not required fields in a request.
4. Check and Throw an error when used outside of Node.js due to security reasons, Advice on use outside Node.js.
5. Validate Secret Keys length and format.
6. Allow user use custom sessionID on any/each transaction. (Portal allow for seesion with several hours of validity)
7. Add and improve documentation and examples(example will include expressjs app)
