FeedHenry RainCatcher message

NOTE - Module is no longer actively maintained by Raincatcher

This module contains a message model representation and its related services :

• Backend services
• Frontend services
• Frontend UI templates

Client-side usage

Setup

This module is packaged in a CommonJS format, exporting the name of the Angular namespace. The module can be included in an angular.js as follows:

angular.module('app', [
, require('fh-wfm-message')
...
])

Integration

Angular Service

This module publishes and subscribes to sync

A sync manager must first be initialized using the messageSync.createManager(). This can be placed, for instance, in the resolve config of a ui-router controlled application.

resolve: {
  messageManager: function(messageSync) {
    return messageSync.createManager();
  }
}

For a more complete example, please check the demo portal app.

messageSync API

These messageSync API methods all return Promises:

messageSync method	Description
messageSync.manager.list	list all messages
messageSync.manager.create(message)	create a message
messageSync.manager.read(messageId)	read a message
messageSync.manager.update(message)	update a message
messageSync.manager.delete(message)	delete a message

Usage in an express backend

Setup

The server-side component of this RainCatcher module exports a function that takes express and mediator instances as parameters, as in:

var express = require('express')
  , app = express()
  , mbaasExpress = mbaasApi.mbaasExpress()
  , mediator = require('fh-wfm-mediator/lib/mediator')
  ;

// configure the express app
...

// setup the wfm message sync server
require('fh-wfm-message/server')(mediator, app, mbaasExpress);

Server side events

the module broadcasts, and listens for the following events

Subscribes To	Responds with
wfm:message:list	done:wfm:message:list
wfm:message:read	done:wfm:message:read
wfm:message:update	done:wfm:message:update
wfm:message:create	done:wfm:message:create
