Rovo Triggers

(formerly conversation-assistant-pubsub)

Provides various trigger events to drive Rovo Chat functionality, such as a publish-subscribe and URL parameter hooks

Example usage

Publish

import { usePublish } from "@atlaskit/rovo-triggers";

const YourComponent = () => {
    const publish = usePublish('ai-mate');

    const handleClick = () => {
        publish({
            type: "message-send",
            data: "hello Rovo Chat",
            source: "my-source", // source is used for analytics
        })
    }

    return (
        <div>
            <button onClick={handleClick}>
                Send message onbehalf of user in Rovo Chat
            </button>
        </div>
    );
}

Subscribe

import { useSubscribe } from "@atlaskit/rovo-triggers";

const YourComponent = () => {
    const [message, setMessage] = useState('Waiting for messages...');

    useSubscribe({ topic: 'ai-mate' }, ({ type, data }) => {
        if(type === 'message-received') {
            setMessage(data)
        }
    });

    return (<div>{message}</div>);
}

Subscribe (TriggerLatest)

import { useSubscribe } from "@atlaskit/rovo-triggers";

const YourComponent = () => {
    const [message, setMessage] = useState('Waiting for messages...');

    // This subscription will trigger immediately if an event has already been published to the 'ai-mate' topic
    useSubscribe({ topic: 'ai-mate', triggerLatest: true }, ({ type, data, source }) => {
        if(type === 'message-received') {
            setMessage(data)
        }
    });

    return (<div>{message}</div>);
}

Subscribe All

Note - Avoid using this. Right now it's only intended to be a proxy for Rovo Chat to trigger open when new events are published, if it isn't already open.

import { useSubscribeAll } from "@atlaskit/rovo-triggers";

const YourComponent = () => {
    useSubscribeAll(() => {
        console.log('pubsub received an event')
        // do something like open the Rovo Chat panel
    });
  });
}

Conditionally run subscriptions

You can conditionally call a subscription that uses triggerLatest by conditionally rendering the <Subscriber /> component. This can be useful to ensure your state is in the optimal place before triggering it's the subscription (e.g no longer loading)

const YourComponent = ({ startSubscription }: { startSubscription: boolean }) => startSubscription ? (
        <Subscriber
          topic={topic}
          triggerLatest={true}
          onEvent={({ type, data }) => {
            if (type === 'message-send') {
              setMsg(`${data} received at ${new Date().toLocaleTimeString()}`);
              setCount(count + 1);
            }
          }}
        />
      ) : null

Registering new events

Events are a combination of a topic and an event type. As such you can register a new event type by either:

• Creating a new Topic, and leveraging the existing EventTypes
• Creating a new Topic, and also creating some new EventTypes to be used
• Creating another EventType to be used against an existing Topic

This may change as the utility and typings evolve when continuing to build integrations with this package.

Topics

The ai-mate topic is reserved for conversation-assistant events and is the only one that currently exists. Watch this space.

EventTypes

Event types represent actions that have taken place in Rovo Chat, or actions you'd like to trigger within Rovo Chat. As long as there's a registered publish event to the ai-mate topic, you can subscribe to it.

This will be documented as integrations are developed.

Params utility

Rovo Chat uses a strongly typed set of query params encoded to rovoChat which can be used consistently across products.

These values can be used to trigger state changes, routing, actions, for example.

• clearPageRovoParams - Removes rovoChat param and it’s value from the address bar.

• updatePageRovoParams - Easily add properties to the rovoChat param in the address bar; this is helpful to continually update the URL for bookmarking or sharing. This method uses addRovoParamsToUrl under the hood.

• addRovoParamsToUrl - The previous function uses this under the hood, but you can call it directly to add them to an arbitrary URL string, so let’s say you want to redirect from embedded panel to Atlas and do a certain thing, you can call this and pass all the required data to ensure its’ picked up and triggers the right thing on Atlas

• getRovoParams - The main method you’d use to execute on the values in the rovo params, so you can do Atlas page routing, or trigger actions in the embedded experience (differentiated by UIConfig.fullScreen=false)

Here are some examples of how you might use getRovoParams resulting value:

• Open new chat { pathway: 'chat' }
• Open specific chat { pathway: 'chat', conversationId: '123' }
• Open new chat with specific agent { pathway: 'chat', agentId: '456' }
• Open specific chat with specific agent { pathway: 'chat', conversationId: '123', agentId: '456' }
• Open new chat and send message { pathway: 'chat', prompt: 'What should I work on next?' }
• Open specific chat and send message { pathway: 'chat', conversationId: '123', prompt: 'What should I work on next?' }
• Open specific chat with specific agent and send message { pathway: 'chat', conversationId: '123', agentId: '456', prompt: 'What should I work on next?' }
• Browse agents { pathway: 'agents-browse' }
• View agent details { pathway: 'agents-browse', agentId: '456' }
• Open create agent experience { pathway: 'agents-create' }
