tally-extract

Fast, typed Tally XML & JSON client for Node.js, driven directly by structure specifications.

Features

• Dual Return Flavor: Query raw TDL XML responses or automatically parsed JSON objects.
• Autocomplete Tree: Fully typed dot-notation interface with IntelliSense for all endpoints (e.g. tally.company.fetch(), tally.masters.units.all()).
• Direct Route Calls: Invoke endpoints flexibly with path strings using call() or asJson().
• Zero Schema Dependencies: Pure ES Module client with built-in TypeScript declarations.

Installation

npm install tally-extract

Usage

Ensure your local Tally instance is running with ODBC / HTTP server enabled (default port 9000).

1. Autocomplete Dot-Notation

import tally from "tally-extract";

// 1. Fetch raw XML string
const xml = await tally.company.fetch("Company Name");
console.log(xml);

// 2. Fetch parsed JSON object directly
const json = await tally.company.fetch.asJson("Company Name");
console.log(json);

// Master routes
const units = await tally.masters.units.all.asJson("Company Name");
const stockItems = await tally.masters.stockItems.withBatches.asJson("Company Name");

2. Direct Route Invocation

import { call, asJson, getJson } from "tally-extract";

// Raw XML
const rawXml = await call("tally.company.fetch", "Company Name");

// Parsed JSON
const data = await asJson("tally.masters.units.all", "Company Name");

TypeScript Support

Full TypeScript IntelliSense definitions are bundled out of the box:

import tally, { call, asJson } from "tally-extract";

All routes, parameter hints, and method signatures are auto-completed in VS Code and modern IDEs.
