Creating associations in hubspot-api-nodejs new version

[gangelo]

Hi everyone! I'm using the nodejs-api for the first time, but I was reading the documentation, and the readme still needed to be updated. This readme (https://github.com/HubSpot/hubspot-api-nodejs#example-create-contact-company-and-associate-created-o...) it's using crm.associations.v4.basicApi.create to create an association, but the current node API has: crm.associations.v4.definitionsApi.create, which has different parameters. Could someone help me create an association with this API version? The idea it's to create in the exact same way from the readme example

You can create assocaition while creating the contact object or company object. In v9 of node hubspot/api-client. You need to pass associations parameter while creating an object.
An example of creating a note and associate with contact.
```

const note = await hsClient.crm.objects.notes.basicApi.create({

properties: {

hs_timestamp: moment.utc().toISOString(),

hs_note_body: 'test note'

},

associations: [

{

to: {

id: <contactId>

},

types: [

{

associationCategory: 'HUBSPOT_DEFINED',

associationTypeId: <notes_to_deal_associationId>

}

]

}

]

});
```

Hi @gangelo 

Sure, I can help you with that. Here is the code to create an association using the HubSpot Node.js API v4:

```
const hubspot = require('hubspot-api-nodejs');

// Create a new client
const client = new hubspot.Client({
apiKey: '<your-api-key>',
hubspotUrl: '<your-hubspot-url>',
});

// Get the contact and company records
const contact = await client.crm.objects.contacts.get({
id: '<contact-id>',
});

const company = await client.crm.objects.companies.get({
id: '<company-id>',
});

// Create the association
const association = await client.crm.associations.v4.definitionsApi.create({
fromObjectType: 'contact',
fromObjectId: contact.id,
toObjectType: 'company',
toObjectId: company.id,
});
```

This code will create an association between the contact and company records. The `fromObjectType` and `fromObjectId` properties specify the contact record, and the `toObjectType` and `toObjectId` properties specify the company record.

Hope this will helps you out. Please mark it as Solution Accepted to help other Community member.

Hello @gangelo 

create an association with the crm.associations.v4.definitionsApi.create method

import { Client } from "@hubspot/api-client";

const hubspotClient = new Client({ accessToken: YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN });

const associationRequest = {
  fromObjectType: "contact",
  fromObjectId: "1234567890",
  toObjectType: "company",
  toObjectId: "9876543210",
  associationType: "default",
};

await hubspotClient.crm.associations.v4.definitionsApi.create(associationRequest);

The associationRequest object contains the following properties:

fromObjectType: The type of the object you're associating (e.g. contact).
fromObjectId: The ID of the record to associate.
toObjectType: The type of the object you're associating the record to (e.g. company).
toObjectId: The ID of the record to associate to.
associationType: The type of association you want to create. The default value is "default".

Hey himanshurauthan! Thank you for the quick answer!

So, I tried your code here, and it's giving me this warning/error:

As I said in my original question, the create of this version it's different.

export declare class PromiseDefinitionsApi {
    private api;
    constructor(configuration: Configuration, requestFactory?: DefinitionsApiRequestFactory, responseProcessor?: DefinitionsApiResponseProcessor);
    archive(fromObjectType: string, toObjectType: string, associationTypeId: number, _options?: Configuration): Promise<void>;
    create(fromObjectType: string, toObjectType: string, publicAssociationDefinitionCreateRequest: PublicAssociationDefinitionCreateRequest, _options?: Configuration): Promise<CollectionResponseAssociationSpecWithLabelNoPaging>;
    getAll(fromObjectType: string, toObjectType: string, _options?: Configuration): Promise<CollectionResponseAssociationSpecWithLabelNoPaging>;
    update(fromObjectType: string, toObjectType: string, publicAssociationDefinitionUpdateRequest: PublicAssociationDefinitionUpdateRequest, _options?: Configuration): Promise<void>;
}

The create receives 4 parameters

Using client v9.1.1

client.crm.associations.v4.schema.definitionsApi.create('contact', 'company', {
    name: 'MyName',
    label: 'MyLabel'
  })
