Documentation

Class: Channel

Represents a channel between a Chaturbate bot (app) and a Fappurbate extension. Allows communication with events and requests.

new Channel(options)

• options.name string Name of the channel. Must not clash with channel names of others instances (including other apps & bots in the same chat).

onEvent.addListener(subject, callback): this

• subject string Name of the event to listen to.
• callback any => void Callback will be called on a given event with attached data as the first argument.

Add a listener for a given event subject.

onEvent.removeListener(subject, callback): this

• subject string Name of the event.
• callback any => void The same callback that was passed to onEvent.addListener.

Remove an event listener.

onRequest.addHandler(subject, handler): this

• subject string Name of the request.
• handler any => void|any|Promise Handler will be called on a given request.

Add a handler for a given request subject. It will be called with the data attached as the first argument. All handlers are called, but only the first received response is used. If throws an error, it is sent back to the bot (app) as an error response. May also return a Promise.

onRequest.removeHandler(subject, handler): this

• subject string Name of the request.
• handler any => void|any|Promise The same handler that was passed to onRequest.addHandler.

Remove a request handler.

close(): void

Unregister all event listeners. After this the channel is usable no more. Do it before you try to open a new channel with the same name.

name

• string

The name of the channel. Read-only.

emit(subject, data): void

• subject string Name of the event.
• data any? Data to send with the event. Must be serializable.

Send an event to the bot (app).

request(subject, data): Promise

• subject string Name of the request.
• data any? Data to send with the request. Must be serializable.

Send a request to the bot (app). If an error response is received, returns a promise that rejects with a Failure that contains attached data. It is to distinguish an error response from other errors like network errors, timeout, etc.

Class: Failure

A subclass of fb.Error that represents an error response from request(subject, data).

new Failure(data)

• data any? default: {} Data to attach.

name

• string === 'Failure'

type
