### listening to messages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code class="javascript">EmbarkJS.Messages.listenTo({topic: ["topic1", "topic2"]}).then(function(message) {
|
||
|
|
console.log("received: " + message);
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### sending messages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can send plain text
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code class="javascript">EmbarkJS.Messages.sendMessage({topic: "sometopic", data: 'hello world'})
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or an object
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code class="javascript">EmbarkJS.Messages.sendMessage({topic: "sometopic", data: {msg: 'hello world'}})
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: array of topics are considered an AND. In Whisper you can use another array for OR combinations of several topics e.g ``["topic1", ["topic2", "topic3"]]`` => ``topic1 AND (topic2 OR topic 3)``
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default Embark will automatically initialize EmbarkJS with the provider configured at `config/communication.js`. However if you are using EmbarkJS directly or wish to change the provider configuration on the fly you can do:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code class="javascript">EmbarkJS.Messages.setProvider('whisper')
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
