WickrIO Bot API

The Wickr IO Node.js Bot API Framework provides tools for an easier and more efficient Development of WickrIO integration bots. It utilizes the Wickr IO Node.js Addon API(wickrio_addon) functions to make it easier to develop integrations. For full documentation and usage guide go here: https://wickrinc.github.io/wickrio-docs/#writing-integrations-node-js-bot-api-development-toolkit

To get started, you would need to setup your system, download and install Docker and run the WickrIO Docker container. Full instructions on how to do so are available here: https://wickrinc.github.io/wickrio-docs/#wickr-io-getting-started

Install

npm install --save wickrio-bot-api

Usage

const WickrIOAPI = require('wickrio_addon') //WickrIO node.js addon which allows talking directly to our api
const WickrIOBotAPI = require('wickrio-bot-api') //Development toolkit to help create bots/integrations
const WickrUser = WickrIOBotAPI.WickrUser

var bot, tokens, bot_username, bot_client_port, bot_client_server
var tokens = JSON.parse(process.env.tokens)

async function main() {
  try {
    bot_username = tokens.BOT_USERNAME.value
    bot = new WickrIOBotAPI.WickrIOBot()
    var status = await bot.start(bot_username)
    if (!status) {
      process.exit()
    }
    // Sending message to a room
    var msg = "Hey, I'm a WickrBot. Lets do things!"
    var vGroupID = 'example-vGroupID'
    var sMessage = WickrIOAPI.cmdSendRoomMessage(vGroupID, msg)
    console.log(sMessage) //if successful should print "Sending message"
    var closed = await bot.close()
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err)
  }
}

Message Parsing

The WickrIO Node.js Bot API Framework provides an API to parse incoming messages. This API will return an object which can be used to process an incoming messages:

import * as WickrIOBotAPI from 'wickrio-bot-api'
const bot = new WickrIOBotAPI.WickrIOBot()

async function listen(message) {
  try {
    // Parses an incoming message
    // returns an object with fields specific to message type
    const parsedMessage = bot.parseMessage(message)

The return value depends on the type of message being parsed. Each of the messages types supported will be shown below.

Please note that the 'receiver' field returned will only be set for 1to1 conversations. The 'convotype' will identify 1to1 conversations with the value 'personal'. Also, the 'bor' value is not always set, if it has an undefined value then it did not have a value.
