AjaxInstall

Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with the Ajax API (version indicated in the code). Specifically, for the Resource "Room" and Operation "Create New Room," it allows users to create a new room within a specified hub and user context. This is useful in scenarios where an automation workflow needs to programmatically manage or organize spaces (rooms) in a system that uses the Ajax API, such as setting up new physical or logical rooms for devices, monitoring, or access control.

Practical examples include:

• Automatically creating a new room when onboarding a new office location.
• Organizing devices or sensors into newly created rooms based on user input or external triggers.
• Integrating room creation into larger workflows involving hubs and users.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the "Create New Room" operation. This typically includes details about the newly created room such as its unique ID, name, associated hub, and possibly status or metadata returned by the Ajax API.

If the node supports binary data output, it would relate to any files or media associated with the room creation process, but this is not evident from the provided code snippet.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API.
• Depends on the @digital-boss/n8n-designpatterns package for resource-operation resolution and execution logic.
• Uses internal backend modules for state management, HTTP client communication, and operation methods.
• The node expects proper configuration of the Ajax API credentials within n8n.

Troubleshooting

• Common Issues:

  • Missing or invalid API credentials can cause authentication failures.
  • Providing incorrect or empty values for required properties (User Id, Hub Id, Room Name) will likely result in errors from the API.
  • Network connectivity issues may prevent successful API calls.

• Error Messages:

  • Authentication errors indicating invalid or missing API keys: Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up.
  • Validation errors from the API about missing fields: Verify all required properties are provided and valid.
  • Timeout or network errors: Check network connectivity and API endpoint availability.
