SDK version vs API version
Here is the relation between SDK versions and API versions:
- lc-sdk-js 3.x.x -> LiveChat API 3.3
- lc-sdk-js 4.x.x -> LiveChat API 3.4
- lc-sdk-js 5.x.x -> LiveChat API 3.5
- ...
All open versions of LiveChat API are available as git tags in lc-sdk-js. However, a developer-preview version (not completed yet, may introduce breaking changes in the future) is available in lc-sdk-js as a git branch.
Installation
npm
npm install --save @livechat/lc-sdk-js
Browser and Node.js compatibility
Due to the absence of standard library WebSocket implementation in Node.js and presence of WebSocket class in browser environments, using the RTM API requires the developer to pass an appropriate WebSocket implementation to the constructor of the RTM clients:
import { Agent, Customer } from "@livechat/lc-sdk-js";
const agentAPI = new Agent.RTM(WebSocket);
const customerAPI = new Customer.RTM(WebSocket, "organization id");
See the examples:
