XendBridge Chat SDK

For a third-party application to be able to get the history of messages and also send one, this SDK has to be implemented. Here are the steps to follow;

Installation

Using npm :

$ npm install xendbridgechat-sdk

Using yarn :

$ yarn add xendbridgechat-sdk

npm: xendbridgechat-sdknpm

XendBridge Chat SDK

Usage

# using require
const { getMessageHistory, sendMessage } = require('xendbridgechat-sdk');

# using import
import { getMessageHistory, sendMessage } from 'xendbridgechat-sdk';

Examples

XendBridge Chat SDK provides only two distinct functions. GetMessageHistory and SendMessage.

The getMessageHistory takes the three arguments which are a public key(string), dispute reference(string), and a function called getAllChats.

getAllChats is a function that must be called as an argument in both getMessageHistory and sendMessage. It automatically fetches the history for you after a message is being sent or when an initial connection to the hub is made.

//implement a better and safer way for getting the following values
const disputeRef = "AdhdfoGjfo8jorp";
const publicKey = "XP_34984hfhsdksofhs";

const getHistory = async () => {
    await getMessageHistory(disputeRef, publicKey, getAllChats);
};

//call when connected to application
getHistory();

The sendMessage takes three arguments as well, being an object called ChatHubAddCommentModel which has props of email address, comment, sent by, recipient, base64Attachment, dispute reference, and sent at. The other arguments are the public key and the function getAllChats.

//implement a better and safer way for getting the following values
const disputeRef = "AdhdfoGjfo8jorp";
const publicKey = "XP_34984hfhsdksofhs";

let ChatHubAddCommentModel = {
    EmailAddress: "[e-mail]",
    Comment: comment, //the user's message from the client side
    SentBy: 2, //this is always 2 representing the third party user
    Recipient: 1, //this is always 1 representing all entities involved
    Base64Attachment: "", //this is the image in base64 format
    DisputeReference: disputeRef, //the unique dispute reference
    SentAt: new Date().toISOString() //this is the time in timestamp
}

//call when user hits the send button on the UI
sendMessage(ChatHubAddCommentModel, publicKey, getAllChats);
