Notifies the server that the user is typing a message.
This method needs to be called periodically since the server resets the typing status of the participant after a few seconds and the client doesn't know when the status is reset. Typically this happens after 5-6 seconds. A possible way to invoke this method:
var input = document.querySelector('input');
var typing = false;
input.onkeydown = () => {
if (!typing) {
messaging.sendIsTyping();
typing = true;
setTimeout(() => {
typing = false;
}, 1500);
}
};
This implementation sends the typing notification every 1.5 seconds while the user is typing. A typical mistake in implementing such UI is to send the notification every time the user hits a keystroke.
Use to send a message of any format and the message is converted to the supported format. This API can be used to continue a disconnected conversation.
Starting a multiparty conversation and sending a message:
var conversation = app.conversationsManager.createConversation();
var remoteParty = conversation.createParticipant(remotePerson);
conversation.chatService.start().then(() => {
conversation.sendMessage('Hi there!', 'Text');
});
Accept invite and send message:
client.conversationsManager.conversations.added(conversation => {
if (conversation.chatService.accept.enabled())
conversation.chatService.accept().then(() => {
conversation.chatService.sendMessage('Got your invite');
});
});
Use this to determine the type of MessageFormats supported for both outgoing and incoming messages in the conversation
Starting chat service on a conversation added to the collection:
client.conversationsManager.conversations.added((conversation) => { conversation.chatService.start(); });Accepting a chat invite on a conversation:
conversation.selfParticipant.chat.state.when('Notified', () => { var name = conversation.participants(0).person.displayName(); var chatService = conversation.chatService; if (chatService.accept.enabled() && confirm('Accept incoming chat request from ' + name + '?')) { console.log('accepting the incoming chat request'); chatService.accept(); } else { console.log('declining the incoming chat request'); chatService.reject(); } });
