Getting Started
Pepperi JS Client Side API enables you to extend our Native and Web Apps. The run-time of the API is either from our Rule-Engine-based User Define Fields or from our Workflow's Custom Web Forms
pepperi.api VS pepperi.app
- The pepperi.api namespace functions do not trigger any auto-calculation of the app's business logic (rule engine) for that purpose the namespace "app" should be used instead.
- Both "api" and "app" can be used inside a web custom form (visible or hidden) as a step in a workflow
- Only "api" functions can be called from the rule engine = calculated user defined fields
the only functions supported in the "app" namespace are:
- 1.pepperi.app.accounts.update
- 2.pepperi.app.activities.update
- 3.pepperi.app.transactions.update
- 4.pepperi.app.transactionLines.update
- 5.pepperi.app.transactionScopeItems.update
- 6.pepperi.app.transactions.addLines
- 7.pepperi.app.transactions.removeLines
In web custom forms only - the Client API work Async - for all functions , so that 2 parameters are always added: responseCallback and requestID - requestID is optional - recommended to identify the request upon getting the Async response.
For example:
pepperi.api.activities.get({ key: {UUID: "aefb523e-74ac-4041-8bb1-a76a3b5e78d8"} ,
fields: [ "ExternalID" , "MyTSA"],
responseCallback: "<your_callback_function>" ,requestID: "<your_request_id>"} )
Date format in the API : Dates are retrieved and should be updated in UTC only, in the ISO 8601 format: 2018-12-18T12:29:02Z or 2018-12-18Z
Rule Engine Date format: dates are retrieved in the Rule Engine
GetValueByAPIName
function in the unix timestamp format - seconds since Jan 01 1970. (UTC) see here : https://www.unixtimestamp.com/ and therefor will need to be converted in order to change the field value and update it back through the API . code sample for the Rule Engine calculated fields : var date = new Date(TSACaptureDateTime*1000); //first convert to seconds
var ret_object=pepperi.api.accounts.update({
objects: [{
UUID: GetValueByApiName("Account.UUID") ,
TSALastActiveDate:date.toISOString() // then update to UTC ISO format
}]
});
}
Filters : Dates can be provided to the filter object in a non-UTC format, and the function will convert it internally to UTC.
On iOS and Android - the logs will be sent in case the app crashes - and on the web app logs are sent to our servers constantly in real-time
pepperi.log({ message: "<your message>", verbosity:"Low" });
Verbosity' is optional. (Low, Medium , High ) default is 'Low'
On Error - all functions returns the same error object:
{ success:false, value:"", error:{ code:54, message :"<relevant error messagge>" } }
this function is more important for the web custom forms - since the code in the custom form is always a part of a workflow and therefore its important to be able to get it's run-time scope
pepperi.app.getContext({responseCallback: "mycallback"});
This function also works in calculated fields.
var ret=pepperi.app.getContext({});
Returns an object to the call back function:
{
"CPIDateTime": "2018-12-23T12:34:56Z",
"appVersion": "",
"appType": "web",
"OSType": "",
"OSVersion": "",
"company": {
"id": 30011895,
"name": "Regine_DO_NOT_CHANGE_ClientAPI"
},
"user": {
"id": 4492855,
"uuid": "d8ce933a-a0dd-4a9f-9b88-c83581180dc5",
"externalId": ""
},
"account": {
"id": 18163276,
"name": "Cat n Dog New",
"uuid": "67274419-7f66-46f6-847a-72aa19d3db8a"
},
"transaction": {
"id": -50,
"externalId": "",
"uuid": "131023c8-bbfd-4a15-ba4b-030fe7bdb44c"
}
}
A "search" function is used all over the Client API to search for multiple objects.
Below is the most simple example for filter:
{ ApiName: "UnitPrice",
Operation : ">=",
Values : ["7"]}
A filter can contain unlimited number of condition nodes, for example:
{ Operation : "AND",
LeftNode: {ApiName: "UnitPrice", Operation : ">",
Values : ["7"]},
RightNode:{ApiName: "Transaction.ActionDateTime",
Operation: "InTheLast", Values: ["4","Weeks"]}
}

"Contains",
"StartWith",
"EndWith",
"IsEqual",
"IsNotEqual",
"IsEmpty",
