connect-ts-api

A connector SDK for Spotware Connect Open API in TypeScript

API v2.x.x

This api provides a layer to send and receive messages using Spotware Open API Protobuf protocol. For a detailed messages structure description check this link

installation

npm i spotware/connect-ts-api

Usage

import {Connect} from 'connect-ts-api';
import {encoder} from 'my-encoder-module'; //For more information and Interfaces check the docs
import {adapter} from 'my-adapter-module'; //For more information and Interfaces check the docs

const connect = new Connect({
    encodeDecode: encoder,
    adapter: adapter
});

connect.start();

connect.sendCommand(990, {}) //Send Hello event
    .then(res => { 
        //Work with response
    }).catch(err => {
        //Handle error
    });

Low level API: Communication layer structure

The main interfaces for subscribing callbacks that will be handled after sending a certain request to the server through an open connection and handling errors.

interface IMultiResponseParams {
    payloadType: number;
    payload: Object;
    onMessage: (data) => boolean;
    onError?: (err: ISendRequestError) => void;
}

interface ISendRequestError {
    errorCode: SendRequestError,
    description: string
}

enum SendRequestError {
    ADAPTER_DISCONNECTED = 1,
    ADAPTER_DROP = 2,
    ADAPTER_ERROR = 3
}

payloadType

• The message ID that will identify on the server the type of serialized message.

payload

• The serialized message to be sent.

onMessage

• Callback that will handle all received responses that match the request. Must return boolean to indicate that the message was successfully handled

onError

• optional Callback that will be executed if the request could not be sent. Called with error code and description as parameters.

sendMultiresponseCommand

sendMultiresponseCommand(multiResponseParams: IMultiResponseParams): void

Sends one single command to server. Subscribes onMessage to incoming responses and push events and unsubscribes as soon as onMessage returns true. If onError is executed before onMessage can handle any incoming message, the onMessage callback will be unsubscribed.

sendGuaranteedMultiresponseCommand

sendGuaranteedMultiresponseCommand(multiResponseParams: IMultiResponseParams): void;

The same as sendMultiresponseCommand but onError will be handled only with errorCode 3. If the Error is due to codes 1 or 2 before onMessage can handle any incoming message, the request will be cached and re-sent as soon as a new connection is open, and no onError will be called.
