Send a POST request from a Suitelet to a Restlet

Thisexample creates a Suitelet that submits data into a RESTlet to create acustomer record. You could use several JavaScript packages available onthe internet to convert JavaScript objects into JSON string easily.

 

SUITEletCode:

 

function requestFromForm(request,response){

    if(request.getMethod() == 'GET'){

        //create a form where userscould enter data

        var form =nlapiCreateForm('Simple Form');

        var companyname =form.addField('companyname','text','Company:');

       form.addSubmitButton('Submit');

       response.writePage(form);        

    }

    else{

        //when form is submittedcreate and send the request to the Restlet

        try{

            //URL ofRestlet

            var url ="https://rest.netsuite.com/app/site/hosting/restlet.nl?script=108&deploy=1";

            

           //Authorization header

            varauthorization = "NLAuthnlauth_account=TSTDRV12345,nlauth_email=email@netsuite.com,nlauth_signature=*******,nlauth_role=3";

            

            //Createthe request headers

            varheaders = new Array();

           headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json';

           headers['Authorization'] = authorization;

           headers['User-Agent-x'] = 'SuiteScript Call';

            

            //obtainthe values entered by the user

            varcompanyname = request.getParameter('companyname');

            varisperson = false;

            

            //formatthe data to be submitted; for this instance I used JSON

            varjsonString = "{\"companyname\":\"" + companyname +"\",\"isperson\":" + isperson + "}";

            

            //sendthe request to the restlet and retrieve the response

            varoutput = nlapiRequestURL(url,jsonString,headers, null, "POST");

           response.write(output.getBody());

        }

        catch(e){ thrownlapiCreateError('SUITELET_ERROR',e.name + ' ' + e.message, false); }

    }

}

 

 

RESTletCode:

 

function RestletPost(data){

    //create customer record

    var customer = nlapiCreateRecord('customer');

    

    //set values of the record depending on thevalues submitted to the Restlet

    if(data.isperson == false){customer.setFieldValue('isperson','F'); }

    else { customer.setFieldValue('isperson','T');}

   customer.setFieldValue('companyname',data.companyname);

    customer.setFieldValue('billpay','F');

    

    //submit record to NetSuite

    var id = nlapiSubmitRecord(customer);

    

    //create an object that would contain theresponse to be sent

    var output = new Object();

    output.id = id;

    

    //send response back

    return output;

}
