## Examples

### C# Example for Calling an Epicor BAQ

```auto
using EpicorRestAPI;

EpicorRest restClient = new EpicorRest();
restClient.AppPoolHost = "your.epicor.server";
restClient.AppPoolInstance = "YourEpicorInstance";
restClient.UserName = "epicor"; //username for epicor
restClient.Password = "epicor"; //password for epicor
restClient.Company = "EPIC06"; //Your Company ID
restClient.CallSettings = new CallSettings("EPIC06", "MfgSys", "eng-us", "");
restClient.APIKey = "YourEpicorApiKeyGoesHere";

var baqResult =restClient.BaqGet("zCustomer01");

if(!baqResult.IsErrorResponse)
{
    Console.WriteLine(baqResult.ResponseBody);
}

```

### Node Example

Calling a BAQ and spinning a web server that will execute ANY BAQ passed in to the URL as

```auto
localhost:3000/baq/<baqID>

```

```auto
import { EpicorRestService } from "epicor-rest-node";
import express from 'express';

let EpicorRestApi = new EpicorRestService();
EpicorRestApi.AppPoolHost = "Your.Epicor.Server";
EpicorRestApi.AppPoolInstance ="EpicorInstance";
EpicorRestApi.APIKey="YourEpicorKeyGoesHere";
EpicorRestApi.UserName="epicor"; //Your Epicor Username
EpicorRestApi.Password="epicor"// Your Epicor Password
EpicorRestApi.Company="EDU06"; //Your Epicor Company ID

//Execute BAQ and print the results
EpicorRestApi.BaqGet('zCustomer01')?.then((data:any) => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(data.data, null, 2));
}).catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
});

// Spin an Express Server and respond to any dynamic BAQ
const app = express();
const port = 3000;

app.get('/baq/:myBaq', async (req, res) => {
    const myBaq = req.params.myBaq;
    try {
        const data = await EpicorRestApi.BaqGet(myBaq);
        res.json(data?.data);
    } catch (error:any) {
        res.status(500).send(error?.message);
    }
});

app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`Server is running at http://localhost:${port}`);
});

```

### Calling REST from a Classic Customization

You need to bring in these helper DLLs

Execute a Function in the Client using Rest Helper

```auto
var _restClient = new RestClientBuilder().UseSession(oTrans.CoreSession).Build();
		var functionContent = new RestContent(new { iPhrase = "hey There" });
		var functionResponse = _restClient.Function.Post("FunFunction", "MyHelloFunction", functionContent, published: false);
		var functionResult = functionResponse.GetAnonymousResult(new { oSuccess = false, oMessage = "" });

		if(!functionResult.oSuccess)
		{
			MessageBox.Show(functionResult.oMessage);
		}

```
