Handling Approval Errors

You should always check that any approval API call was successful before using the results.

• For calls to NSOA.wsapi.submit(submitRequest), NSOA.wsapi.approve(approveRequest), NSOA.wsapi.reject(rejectRequest), and NSOA.wsapi.unapprove(unapproveRequest), you should check that a result was returned and did not have any errors.

This is a two-step process:

• First, check that you have an array of responses.

                if (!result || !result[0]) 
  
              

• If OK, then check if you have an errors property and you have at least one error.

                else if (result[0].errors !== null && result[0].errors.lenth > 0) 
  
              

The following example checks for errors when using the NSOA.wsapi.approve(approveRequest) function:

          // example assuming requests have already been defined
var results = NSOA.wsapi.approve(requests);
// Check for errors
if (!result || !result[0]) {
     // An unexpected error has occurred!
} else if (result[0].errors !== null && result[0].errors.length > 0) {
     // There are errors to handle!
} else {
     // Process the response as expected
} 

        

The errors property is an array of oaError objects.
