Code Integration

Here is a summary of the process required to implement RT.

  1. Include SDK
  2. Startup plugin
  3. Check if user is already registered.
  4. Register User
  5. Connect
  6. Register messageListener
  7. Create a Thread
  8. Send message using publishMessage

Code Sample

  1. Unzip the downloaded SDK and add contents to your project
  2. Import below files in the tag
<script src="assets/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/4.6.2/firebase-app.js"></script>
    <script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/4.6.2/firebase-messaging.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/js/mqttws31.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/js/aes.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/js/imi-environments.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/js/IMIClient.js"></script>

Note

Here, sdk is in folder “assets”, please update to project specific location

In Browser Console, verify if the plugin is available by typing IMI. It should output this:

Follow below step to setup In-App Messaging

  1. Call plugin’s startup() method:
IMI.IMIconnect.startup();

Note

Refer Managing Assets for managing multiple assets and paths

  1. Check if user is already registered
IMI.IMIconnect.isRegistered()
  1. Else register user
var userID = 1;
            var deviceID = userID + new Date().getTime(); //any random no.
            var deviceProfile = new IMI.ICDeviceProfile(deviceID, userID);
            var registerCallback = {
                onSuccess: (msg) => {
console.log(msg);
                },
                onFailure: (err) => {
console.log(err);
                },
            };
            IMI.IMIconnect.register(deviceProfile, registerCallback);
  1. Connect
    In registration onSuccess callback, add below code:
var messaging = IMI.ICMessaging.getInstance();
    if (!messaging.isConnected())
        messaging.connect();
  1. Register Listener for in-app messaging
var msgCallBack = {
            onConnectionStatusChanged: (statuscode) => {
                console.log('onConnectionStatusChanged to', statuscode);
            },
            onMessageReceived: (message) => {
                console.log('onMessageReceived ', message);
            }
        };
        var messaging = IMI.ICMessaging.getInstance();
        messaging.setICMessagingReceiver(msgCallBack);
  1. Create a thread
createThread(title) {
        var title = title || "New Conversation";
        var thread = new IMI.ICThread();
        thread.setTitle(title);
        thread.setStatus(IMI.ICThreadStatus.Active);
        thread.setType(IMI.ICThreadType.Conversation);
        var messaging = IMI.ICMessaging.getInstance();
        messaging.createThread(thread, createThreadCallBack);
    }
    createThreadCallBack = {
        onSuccess: (threadObj) => {
        },
        onFailure: (err) => {

        },
    };
  1. Publish a message
var publishMessageCallback = {
  onSuccess: function (msg) {
    console.log("message sent", msg);
  },
  onFailure: function (errormsg) {
    console.log("failed to send message", errormsg);
  },
};
function publish() {
  var text = "Sample message text";
  var message = new IMI.ICMessage();
  message.setMessage(text);
  message.setThread(icThreadObj);
  var messaging = IMI.ICMessaging.getInstance();
  messaging.publishMessage(message, publishMessageCallback);
}
