Node wrapper for bombast messaging service. This is a node module you can include in your application and give it the ability to use the bombast messaging system. The Bombast messaging system will need to be running at a specific server and the Bombast SDK needs to point to it.

• The API Call to
  • bombaster: This is used to create bombaster users who will have access to the Bombast messaging system

    • getMessages: Get all messages that have been sent up to 50 message.
    • getMessage: Get a single message
    • sendMessage: Send a message through the Bombast messaging system
    • addMessageStatus: Change/Add the status of a single message that has been sent
    • addMessageSMSStatus: Add the sms status
    • addMessageEmailStatus: Add the email status
  • masterTemplates: A general top level template used by messages and templates
    • getMasterTemplates: Get all the master template created
    • getMasterTemplate: Get a single master template specified by the Id
    • addMasterTemplate: Add a new master template
  • messageTemplates: message template, used to send messages with a formated template
    • getMessageTemplates: Gets all the message templates
    • getMessageTemplate: Gets a single message template, specified by an Id
    • sendTemplateMessage: Send a message with a template
    • addMessageTemplate: Add a new message template

Install

npm install https://github.com/Encentivize/bombast-node-sdk.git ---save

One of the way you can include the api into your project is:

 var bombast=require("bombast");

 app.post("/:bombaster/callapi",
    function (req, res, next) {

        var api = req.body.api;
        var call= req.body.call;
        var opt = req.body.options;
        bombast[api][call](opt,callback);
        function callback(err,result){
            if(err){
                var msg = err;
                console.log(msg);
                return next();
            }
            console.log(result);
            res.send(result);
        }
    }

##API

Using either curl or chorme extension advance rest client, you can make request calls to your api where the bombast-sdk is running. The post body will need to consist of the following basic body (but not necessarily)

{
"api":"messageTemplates",
"call":"sendTemplateMessage",
"options":{
      "username":"[email protected]",
      "password":"*********",
      "baseUrl":"http://localhost:1337",
      "bombaster":"testbombaster"
   }
}

These are all minimum required fields

• api: The name of api you want to call
• call: The method you want to call
• options: the configuration data required to make the call.
  • username is usually an email.
  • baseUrl the url where the Bombast message system is running
  • bombaster the username of the admin user that will be used to log in the bombast message system
