Gameball NodeJS SDK

This repository contains the open source SDK for integrating Gameball's API into your NodeJs app. The Gameball NodeJS SDK provides convenient access to the Gameball API from applications written in the JavaScript langauage.

Documentation

Please refer to the Gameball API docs.

Installation

You don't need this source code unless you want to modify the SDK. If you just want to use the SDK, just run:

npm install gameball

Dependencies

Download sha1 package using the following command.

npm install sha1

Usage

The SDK needs to be configured with your account's API & Transaction keys available in your Gameball Dashboard

Require 'gameball-nodejs-sdk' in your file

var gameball = require('gameball')

Create a handler using the api key and transaction key (optional field), then call commands on it.

var Gameball = new gameball()

Gameball.setUp({
    'apiKey':'your_api_key',
    'transactionKey':'your_transaction_key'
});

You can also directly pass the apiKey and transactionKey through the Gameball constructor.

var Gameball = new gameball(apiKey, transactionKey)

Commands:

Gameball.initializePlayer(PlayerRequest, callback) //creates a new player with the given player attributes.

Gameball.sendEvent(EventRequest, callback) //performs action based on event triggered by users.

Gameball.createReferral(ReferralRequest, callback) //refers a new user through player with the given player code.

Gameball.getPlayerBalance(PlayerBalanceRequest, callback) //obtains player's balance value.

Gameball.holdPoints(HoldPointsRequest, callback) //holds a specific amount of points from the player’s points balance. 

Gameball.reverseHold(ReverseHoldRequest, callback) //cancels previously held points identified by the given hold reference. 

Gameball.reverseTransaction(ReverseTransaction, callback) //cancels a purchase reward or refund a points redemption transactions in Gameball.

Gameball.redeemPoints(RedeemPointsRequest, callback) //enables the player to use Gameball points as a payment method since it can be substituted for monetary values.

Gameball.rewardPoints(RewardPointsRequest, callback) //rewards a player with points equivalent to the given amount.
