Can't include invoiceLink when querying an invoice

[jakewatton95]

I'm having a very similar issue to the link posted below. When querying an invoice, I am unable to use the "include=invoiceLink" parameter. Any help would be appreciated!

I forked with a dumb hack. Unfortunately I can't verify if it fully works until I have production access in Intuit. At the very least, it doesn't break any of these APIs: findCustomers, createCustomer, findInvoices, createInvoice. I need to wait an hour to verify that it doesn't break refreshTokenAccess.

(I suppose I'm necro'ing an old thread :/ but if it helps someone then 🤷.)

The code is structured in such a way that you can't directly modify options (or more specifically options.qs) that are passed into the request() call. This is a bummer. There are a couple of instances where query parameters are added already:

  if (entity && entity.allowDuplicateDocNum) {
    delete entity.allowDuplicateDocNum;
    opts.qs.include = 'allowduplicatedocnum';
  }

  if (entity && entity.requestId) {
    opts.qs.requestid = entity.requestId;
    delete entity.requestId;
  }

It would be nice to be able to hook into this. I was going to add an addtl options argument to the getInvoice method, but callback really needs to be the last parameter and I don't want to change the order and break anything. So, I just added a new method that doesn't interfere with the existing logic:

/**
 * Retrieves the payment link for an Invoice.
 *
 * @param  {string} id - The invoice ID.
 * @param  {function} callback - Callback function which is called with any error and the invoice.
 */
QuickBooks.prototype.getInvoiceLink = function(id, callback) {
  const options = {
    url: `/invoice/${id}`
    qs: { include: 'invoiceLink' }
  }
  module.request(this, 'get', options, null, module.unwrap(callback, 'Invoice'))
}

Here's my fork: https://github.com/charlie-s/node-quickbooks

You can install this via npm i git+https://github.com/charlie-s/node-quickbooks.git

Make sure you use the minimum version number of 36 to get access to the invoice link! e.g.:

const qbo = new QuickBooksAPI(qbAppId, qbAppSecret, accessToken, false, realmId, true, false, 36, '2.0', refreshToken)
