Events.js is a JavaScript library that helps start and stop the event channel and add event handlers.
Applies to: Skype for Business 2015
The Events module provides access to the UCWA event channel, enabling application developers to start or stop the event channel, and to add or remove handlers for events of interest to them. Some UCWA resources, such as the participantInvitation, messagingInvitation, and onlineMeetingInvitation resources are called operation resources. These resources are created on the server as a result of a previous POST request on, respectively, the addParticipant resource, the addMessaging or startMessaging resource, or the joinOnlineMeeting or startOnlineMeeting resource. After the server creates the operation resource, the server sends it to the client on the event channel. For more information, see Operation resource.
The Events constructor has two parameters: a Cache object and a Transport object. For more information, see Cache library and Transport library. Before an Events object can be created, objects representing the two parameters must be created.
var domain = "https://www.example.com",
element = $("#frame") [0].contentWindow,
targetOrigin = "https://www.myDomain.com",
Cache = new microsoft.rtc.ucwa.samples.Cache(),
Transport = new microsoft.rtc.ucwa.samples.Transport(targetOrigin);
var Events = new microsoft.rtc.ucwa.samples.Events(Cache, Transport);
The variables declared in the preceding example are used in subsequent examples in this topic.
The addEventHandlers function adds an event handler for a specified resource.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
raiser | The resource that raises the event that will trigger the handlers. |
handlers | The set of handlers, one for each event type. |
Syntax
addEventHandlers(raiser , handlers )
Example
In the following example _raiser_is an object whose _href_property indicates the resource we are interested in. In this example, the resource of interest is the me user's presence resource.
The _handlers_object is a collection of key-value pairs where each key indicates an event "type" and each paired value contains the name of a function that will be called to handle an event with that type. In this example, if the presence event "type" is either "started" or "updated", the _handlePresence_function is called.
var raiser = {
href: '/me/presence'
},
handlers = {
started: handlePresence,
updated: handlePresence
};
function handlePresence(data) {
if (data.results !== undefined) {
alert(data.results);
}
}
The next example passes the objects that are created in the previous example as parameters in the addEventHandlers function. This action creates handlers for the "started" and "update" event types on the event raiser, the me user's presence resource.
Events.addEventHandlers(raiser, handlers);
The _raiser_parameter should be an object containing _one_of the following:
{
href: "myLink", // Relative URL of the resource provided by the server
rel: "people", // Relation type
operationId: "1918-bf83" // Unique, client-supplied ID for tracking operation resources on the event channel)
}
The _handlers_parameter should be an object containing _one or more_of the following:
{
started : function(data) {...},
updated : function(data) {...},
completed : function(data) {...},
}
The removeEventHandlers function removes event handlers for a specified resource.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
raiser | The raiser of the event whose handlers are to be removed. |
Syntax
removeEventHandlers(raiser)
Example
The following example removes any handlers for events raised by the message resource.
Events.removeEventHandlers("message");
If a raiser for the event is not found, a message will be displayed in the console.
The startEvents function begins listening on the event channel.
Syntax
startEvents()
Example
Events.startEvents();
Checks whether event handling is already active; if not, it makes the initial request to start receiving data on the event channel.
The stopEvents function stops listening on the event channel and clears the event handler array.
Syntax
stopEvents()
Example
Events.stopEvents();
