如何使用Evernote JavaScript SDK从Chrome扩展程序创建便笺？

Question

The documentation on http://dev.evernote.com/start/core/creating_notes.php states that as a prerequisite I should "[...] have a developer token (or a working OAuth implementation by which [I] retrieve a valid authentication token". I have both of that. Check.

Next thing they assume is that "[I] have an instance of UserStore and NoteStore". This is where I'm struggling. I don't have that and I don't know how to get that.

The code example on the page I linked above is in Python and Objective-C which is not really helpful in my case.

I am using the Evernote JavaScript SDK ( https://github.com/evernote/evernote-sdk-js ), to be exact the evernote-sdk-minified.js , but I still can't figure out how to use the Evernote Cloud API ( http://dev.evernote.com/documentation/reference/ ) to create a note from my extension.

I tried something like

var user = UserStore.getUser(auth_token);

but that doesn't seem to work

If anyone had the same problem and would post some sample code on how to get an instance of UserStore and NoteStore which, supposedly, I need to create a note and maybe even how to create the note itself, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Evernote doesn't allow client side Javascript access to its API due to cross-site scripting concerns.

To use the the Evernote Javascript SDK you will need to use PhoneGap like mentioned in another answer, node.js and the Evernote node module (available via npm ) or Apache Cordova .

There is also a unofficial node module that can be used to access the Evernote API called Zookeeper .

Answer 2

The PhoneGap example has some sample code here . You need to create a NoteStore client and call the createNote API.
