Getting Started

To install the package, simply run:

npm install workplace --save

Then, simply load up the package and set the access token:

const WP = require('workplace');
WP.setAccessToken(<ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE>);

API Reference

Making a Post

Once the package is set up, you can post to a group like this:

const groupID = <YOUR_GROUP_ID>;
const data = {
  message: 'text body of the message',
  url: 'example.com/my_photo.jpg' // optional photo url with your post
};
let response = await WP.postToGroup(groupID, data);

Sending Messages

Workplace integrations have the ability to send a variety of message types directly or to groups of individuals. Specifically, you can send:

• Text
• Images
• Videos
• Audio
• Templates

This wrapper includes a few useful abstractions to make sending a message simple.

Use the WP.Message namespace to construct a message of various types:

To send a text message, use the WP.Message.Text wrapper to generate your message

// text messages
const message = WP.Message.Text('hello, world');

// hosted and local images
const imageMessageFromURL = WP.Message.Image('example.com/image.jpg');
const localImageMessage = WP.Message.LocalImage('path/to/file.jpg');

// hosted and local videos
const videoMessageFromURL = WP.Message.Video('example.com/video.mp4');
const localVideoMessage = WP.Message.LocalVideo('path/to/file.mp4');

// hosted and local audio files
const audioMessageFromURL = WP.Message.Audio('example.com/video.mp3');
const localAudioMessage = WP.Message.LocalAudio('path/to/file.mp3');

// send a custom json message template
const messageTemplate = WP.Message.Template(payload)

Then specify IDs and send the message away!

await WP.sendMessage(<id(s)>, message);

FB API Object

The FB API is directly exposed for anything that this API wrapper does not include. It can be accessed in the following way:

const fbAPI = WP.api;

This API is taken from the npm package FB
