rufbit nodejs

Getting Started

Rufbit helps you to stay on top of what is going on in all of your projects at all times. This documentation will help you integrate rufbit into your projects and get you started as fast as possible.

Overview

This package provides user-friendly access to the rufbit API from nodejs applications. It includes pre-defined classes and methods that dynamically communicate with the rufbit API and thereby allow a simple integration.

Installation

If you don't have an account yet, make sure to sign up first.

To install the rufbit package simply run:

npm install rufbit

Alternatively you can also use our API if you prefer that or if your platform is not supported yet.

More information

Usage

First of all you need to require the rufbit package. This can be achieved by adding the following line:

const { Rufbit, RufbitState } = require('./node_modules/rufbit');

In order to use the package, you will first need to set the API-key. This key is specific to your project and can be found in your project configuration (Projects -> [Project] -> Configuration).

The API-key can be set with the following code:

Rufbit.setApiKey("YOUR API-KEY HERE");

Sending notifications

In order to send notifications, simply call the Rufbit.send(..) function and pass the parameters title, data, state and callback.

Rufbit.send(title, data, state, callback);

|Param|Type|Details| |-----|----|-------| |title|string|The title of your notification| |data|object|A json object that contains your data| |state|integer|Indicates the notification type. For further details see notification object| |callback|function|Callback function, returns the result

Example 1: Send Notification

Rufbit.send("Foobar just subscribed!", { plan: "premium" }, RufbitState.SUCCESS, function(result)
{
    // handle result here
});

The state of the notification can take the values success, error, warning, info and other.

Make sure you are passing a valid JSON object to the data -attribute. A possible JSON-object might look like this:

{
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "username": "foobar",
    "subscription": "premium",
    "paid": true
}

Error Handling:

Rufbit will respond with a result object. If the request completed sucessfully the response will look like this:

{ 
    "success": true 
}

In case a request could not be completed successfully for some reason, rufbit will respond with:

{
    "success": false,
    "error_msg": "error message"
}

This can happen due to many reasons such as a wrong API-key or invalid parameters.
