Possible error in documentation for createBankAccount and createCard

[rbar2]

Expectation

I would expect that to create a bank account (or create a card), I would provide the createBankAccount method (or createCard method) with a customerId and the bank account information (or card information) that I would like to store, and in return, would receive the bankAccountId (or cardId) at which the details can later be retrieved from intuit using the bankAccount method (or card method (missing here)).

---

Documentation / Possible Issue

Instead, createBankAccount method appears to take a string as a parameter for the bank account (and similarly createCard methods appear to take a string as a parameter for the card). In this case, bank account information (or card information) is never passed to the method, and therefore would seemingly not be possible to be stored on intuit and return an Id to be later used.

---

Question

Is there an error in the documentation such that bank account (or card) should be an object parameter for the createBankAccount method (or createCard method)?

My approach

Nonetheless, I have attempted to implement the method both ways and with little success. This is what I believe to be my closest attempt

       var customerId = myCustomerId
       var consumerKey = myConsumerKey
       var consumerSecret =myConsumerSecret
       var oauth_token = "someToken_asflasdlkjsdfadflkj"
       var oauth_token_secret = "someSecret_adfksdalfkjpsdfpsdpop23"
       var realmId = "someId_123456789"
       qbo = new QuickBooks(consumerKey,
                            consumerSecret,
                            oauth_token,
                            oauth_token_secret,
                            realmId,
                            false, // use the sandbox?
                            true); // enable debugging?
       var bankAccount = {
         name: myName,
         routingNumber: myRoutingNumber,
         accountNumber: myAccountNumber,
         accountType: 'PERSONAL_CHECKING',
         phone: myPhoneNumber
       };
       qbo.createBankAccount(customerId, bankAccount, function(response, error) {
         res.send(200, response)
       });
