CLI script to parse PayPal's NVP to JSON

README.md

Usage

Let's say you saved the output of a PayPal NVP API request to output.txt.

To parse it to JSON:

yarn start output.txt

An output.txt.json will be created.

index.js

let fs = require('fs');
let path = require('path');
let parse = require('paypal-nvp-parser');

// Make sure we got a filename on the command line.
if (process.argv.length < 3) {
  console.log('Usage: node ' + process.argv[1] + ' FILENAME');
  process.exit(1);
}

function parsePayPal(filename) {
  fs.readFile(filename, 'utf8', function(err, raw_paypal) {
    if (err) throw err;
    let parsed_paypal = parse(raw_paypal);
    console.log(parsed_paypal);
    writeParsedPayPal(parsed_paypal);
  });
}

function writeParsedPayPal(parsed_paypal) {
  fs.writeFile(path.join(process.cwd(), `${filename}.json`), JSON.stringify(parsed_paypal, null, 2), function(err) {
    if(err) throw err;
    console.log(`==> Saved as: ${filename}.json`);
  });
}
// Read the file and print its contents.
let filename = process.argv[2];
parsePayPal(filename);
