Available methods

Configuration methods

The methods that you can use to create the notification: (All these methods are chainable)

• setTopic [topic: String] : This method sets which template should use the notification
• setData [data: Object]: This method sets the data that eventually the template should use when sending the notification.
• setEntity [entity: String|Number]: This method sets the entity related to the notification.
• setEntityId [entityId: String|Number]: This method sets the entity ID related to the notification.
• setUserCreated [userCreated: String]: This method sets the User ID related to the user that triggered the notification.
• setClientCode [clientCode: String] This method should be used to be able to make requests "on behalf" of the client, in case the session has not been injected.

Method of use

• send This method sends the notification set using the Conversation package. Returns the ID of the created message.

ClientCode injection

The package uses the Janis Conversation Service, so it needs the clientCode to be able to use it's API. You have two ways to do so:

• Instanciate the package in a sessioned class using this.session.getSessionInstance(Conversation) (see @janiscommerce/api-session)
• Setting the clientCode using the conversation.setClientCode('clientCode') method

Errors

The errors are informed with a ConversationError. This object has a code that can be useful for a correct error handling or debugging. The codes are the following:

Code	Description
1	Required field missing
2	Invalid field type
3	Microservice call Error

Examples

Client injection

With clientCode

const { Conversation } = require('@janiscommerce/conversation');

const conversation = new Conversation();

await conversation.setTopic('example-topic')
	.setClientCode('client-code')
	.send();

With session

const { Conversation } = require('@janiscommerce/conversation');
const API = require('@janiscommerce/api');

class ApiExample extends API {

	async process() {

		const conversation = this.session.getSessionInstance(Conversation);

		try {
			await conversation.setTopic('example-topic').send();
		} catch(error) {
			console.log(error);
		}
	}
}

module.exports = ApiExample;
