Examples

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

The getMessageHistory takes the three arguments which are a public key, dispute reference, which are all strings 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 is 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: "youruseremailaddress@domain.com",
    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);
