Using SOAP with meteor

1

Hey all, I am building a site with meteor and I am having an issue with setting up a connection to sertifi.com using their SOAP api. I am new to js and even newer to meteor so I’m having a hard time deciphering the wsdl and how to use it. I could use some help with this if anyone has done this before.

If you are on 1.2, this is my basic setup:

Use the meteorhacks:npm package, and in your packages.json (I haven’t used/tested the newer releases of these npm packages):

{
  "soap" : "0.12.0",
  "fibers" : "1.0.9"
}

In Meteor.startup (or your method):

Future = Meteor.npmRequire('fibers/future');
Soap = Meteor.npmRequire('soap');

Then, your function/method looks like:

var future = new Future();

Soap.createClient(someURL, function (err, client) {
    if (err) {
        future.return(err);
    }
    else {
        client.someFunction, function (error, result) {
            if (error) {
                console.log(error);
                future.return(error);
            }
            else {
                console.log(result);
                future.return(result);
            }
        });
    }
});
return future.wait();

Of course, this is just a boilerplate, but the basic idea is there…
