DynamicsNode is a library built on node.js that allows you to quickly create scripts to interact with Microsoft Dynamics CRM using JavaScript.
The main goal of DynamicsNode is to make you very productive when it comes to automate small tasks in Dynamics CRM. Just create a .js file, add a few lines and execute it.
No more .net console applications with all the boilerplate code just for creating one record. Go productive!

Install DynamicsNode
$ npm install dynamicsnode
Create a new js file named myscript.js and start adding code
var dn = require("dynamicsnode");
// update this with your CRM url and credentials if needed
var crm = new dn.CRMClient("Url=http://crm.contoso.com/xrmContoso");
// retrieve current user information
var who = crm.whoAmI();
var myUserInfo = crm.retrieve("systemuser",who.UserId);
console.log(myUserInfo.fullname); // prints your user name
// retrieve a user named John Doe
var anotherUser = crm.retrieve("systemuser",{fullname:"John Doe"});
console.log(anotherUser); // prints all the attributes of the userSave the file and run the script.
In order to run the script use node
$ node myscript
