dread-steed

Module that helps handle a salesforce connection and all the fun mess that comes with salesforce.

Installation

npm install dread-steed --save

Configuration

pass this config object into dread steed

    var config = {
      maxConnDuration:10.000,
      maxRetries:2,
      silent:true, // silence dreadsteed log messages Defaults to false
      errorTypes:['INVALID_SESSION_ID','INVALID_LOGIN','DUPLICATE_VALUE','SERVER_UNAVAILABLE','REQUEST_LIMIT_EXCEEDED'],
      maxEventListeners:100,
      salesforce: {
        Username:        '[email protected]',
        Password:        'salesforcepassword',
        Endpoint:        'https://test.salesforce.com',//login.salesforce.com
        SecurityToken:   'thisisasecuritytoken',
      }
    };

For handling of multiple saleforce connections.
NOTE: Api user will switch if it hits an api limit and throws REQUEST_LIMIT_EXCEEDED or SERVER_UNAVAILABLE otherwise it will just use the 1 api user

    var config = {
      maxConnDuration:10.000,
      maxRetries:2,
      silent:true, // silence dreadsteed log messages Defaults to false
      errorTypes:['INVALID_SESSION_ID','INVALID_LOGIN','DUPLICATE_VALUE','SERVER_UNAVAILABLE','REQUEST_LIMIT_EXCEEDED'],
      maxEventListeners:100,
      salesforce: [
        {
            Username:        '[email protected]',
            Password:        'salesforcepassword',
            Endpoint:        'https://test.salesforce.com',//login.salesforce.com
            SecurityToken:   'thisisasecuritytoken',
        },
        {
            Username:        '[email protected]',
            Password:        'salesforcepassword',
            Endpoint:        'https://test.salesforce.com',//login.salesforce.com
            SecurityToken:   'thisisasecuritytoken',
        },
        {
            Username:        '[email protected]',
            Password:        'salesforcepassword',
            Endpoint:        'https://test.salesforce.com',//login.salesforce.com
            SecurityToken:   'thisisasecuritytoken',
        },
        {
            Username:        '[email protected]',
            Password:        'salesforcepassword',
            Endpoint:        'https://test.salesforce.com',//login.salesforce.com
            SecurityToken:   'thisisasecuritytoken',
        }
      ]
    };

Error Handling

Optional if you want to handle errors and or log then in your own way

    var errorCallback = function(err){
        //err - object
    };

Optional callbacks

If you want to use callbacks for more than just error handling, you can optionally pass in an object with a callback for error handling and a callback for when the salesforce connection is established or re-established.

    var errorCallback = function(err){
        //err - object
    };

    var connectionCallback = function(conn){
        //conn - jsforce connection object
    }

    var callbacks = {
        onError: errorCallback,
        onConnection: connectionCallback
    };

Usage

    var DreadSteed = require('dread-steed');
    var dreadSteed = new DreadSteed(config, errorCallback); //OR new DreadSteed(config, callbacks);
    var yourSalesForceQueryHere = "SELECT id, Name FROM Things WHERE id = '1' ";

            return conn.queryAsync(yourSalesForceQueryHere);
        }).catch(function(err){

          return res;
        }).catch(function( err ){
          log.error(err);
          throw err;
