Soap-Everywhere

This module lets you connect to web services using SOAP, in pure javascript, using node, browser, or react-native.

This is a fork of browser-soap, which is a fork of tinysoap, which is a fork of node-soap.

The biggest difference is that it is using the fetch API to make requests, polyfilled with fetch-everywhere.

Install

Install with npm:

  npm install @danielfarrell/soap-everywhere

Module

soap.createClient(url, callback) - create a new SOAP client from a WSDL url

  var soap = require('soap-everywhere');
  var url = 'http://example.com/wsdl?wsdl';
  var args = {name: 'value'};
  soap.createClient(url, function(err, client) {
      client.MyFunction(args, function(err, result) {
          console.log(result);
      });
  });

Client

An instance of Client is passed to the soap.createClient callback. It is used to execute methods on the soap service.

Client.describe() - description of services, ports and methods as a JavaScript object

  client.describe() // returns
    {
      MyService: {
        MyPort: {
          MyFunction: {
            input: {
              name: 'string'
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }

Client.setSecurity(security) - use the specified security protocol (see WSSecurity below)

  client.setSecurity(new WSSecurity('username', 'password'))

Client.method(args, callback) - call method on the SOAP service.

  client.MyFunction({name: 'value'}, function(err, result) {
      // result is a javascript object
  })

Client.service.port.method(args, callback) - call a method using a specific service and port

  client.MyService.MyPort.MyFunction({name: 'value'}, function(err, result) {
      // result is a javascript object
  })
