The chat SDK can be installed from either NPM or Bower, depending on your intended usage.

If you are integrating into a classical JavaScript project and you just want to include a script that exposes some global objects in your page, then use Bower.

If you are using a project that utilises ES6 modules, such as angular2 or ionic2, then use NPM.

Bower

1. Install package from Bower

bower install comapi-sdk-js-chat

2. Include the script

<script src="bower_components/comapi-sdk-js-chat/dist/comapi-chat-client.js"></script>

There is also a minified version comapi-chat-client.min.js available.

For all subsequent classical snippets, we assume that this script has been included.

3. Access SDK methods

console.log("Comapi version: " + COMAPI_CHAT.ComapiChatClient.version);

NPM

1. Install SDK

npm install @comapi/sdk-js-chat --save

2. Import into your code and access SDK methods

import { ComapiChatClient } from "@comapi/sdk-js-chat"

class MyClass{
    public displayVersion(){
        console.log(`Comapi version: ${ComapiChatClient.version}`);
    }
}

Use of ES6 Promises

ES6 Promises are extensively used within this SDK. Depending on what browsers you are targeting, you might need to include a poly-fill for this. Several of these are available online.
