Landbot client core. Connects to the messaging database and the landbot app servers.

Getting started

Choose a way to get started with landbot-core.

ES6

npm install @landbot/core

Import it in your app.

import LandbotCore from '@landbot/core';

const core = new LandbotCore({
  ...config
});

Methods

• init. Core initialization. Returns a Promise that resolves with initialization data and previous conversation messages.

core.init().then(function (data) {
  console.log(data.messages);
});

• sendMessage. Send a message. See the docs for more messaging info.

core.sendMessage({ message: 'Hey bro!' });

Pipelines

It's hard to get an ordered flow of messages when they are dropped from an external service almost instantly. Thanks to pipelines, you can create a listener for incoming messages in your application.

• $sequence. Used to get a sequential flow of messages.

core.pipelines.$sequence.subscribe(function (message) {
  console.log(message);
});

• $readableSequence. Used to get a sequential flow of messages, including an extra delay between each one. Each delay is obtained from its previous message, improving readability.

core.pipelines.$readableSequence.subscribe(function (message) {
  console.log(message);
});

• $typingSequence. Used to get a sequential flow of messages with their typing states. Each tick includes information about typing state, delay and message content.

core.pipelines.$typingSequence.subscribe(function (data) {
  if (data) {
    console.log(data);
  }
});

Events

• "new_message". Triggered when a new message is received. Don't listen to this event unless you want to deal with a bunch of unordered messages. Use pipelines to get a correct flow of messages and render it on your app.

core.events.on('new_message', function (message) {
  console.log(message);
});

-"database.error". Triggered when an error occurred in database.

core.events.on('database.error', function (data) {
  console.error(data);
});
