Listen to events

WebSocket

Whenever ComapiClient is configured and authenticated, a new session is started which opens a WebSocket connection. This allows for a two-way real-time communication between the client and the server. For more information on WebSocket visit the official RFC site. When open, the socket provides live updates for the profile and conversations which you are a participant of. You can subscribe for these updates to update your views and models.

Add event listener

Register the delegate for the incoming events with the CMPComapiClient object. The delegate should conform to the CMPEventListener protocol.

[client addEventDelegate:self];

client.add(self)

To receive the event implement following method from CMPEventListener protocol:

- (void)client:(CMPComapiClient *)client didReceiveEvent:(CMPEvent *)event {
  	switch (event.type) {
        case CMPEventTypeConversationMessageSent:
      			// message sent event received
            break;
        case CMPEventTypeConversationParticipantTypingOff:
      			// participant typing off event received
            break;
        case CMPEventTypeConversationParticipantTyping:
      			// participant typing event received
            break;
        case CMPEventTypeConversationMessageRead:
      			// message read event received
            break;
      	// case .other events:
        default:
      			// unknown event type
            break;
    }
}

func client(_ client: ComapiClient, didReceive event: Event) {
		switch event.type {
        case .conversationMessageSent:
            // message sent event received
        case .conversationParticipantTypingOff:
            // participantTypingOff event received
        case .conversationParticipantTyping:
            // participantTyping event received
        case .conversationMessageRead:
        		// message read event received
        // case .other events:
        
        default:
            // unknown event type
		}
}

Please note that you can register multiple listeners in your code, to handle events in different parts of your application. The events are broadcasted to all registered delegates.

[client removeEventDelegate:self];

client.remove(self)
