Re: [aerogear-dev] [AeroGear-Notifier] Client API

So, in theory, would I be able to 1) Define a message channel (boats)

2) Define a series of systems which implement that channel (websocket, GCM, carrier pigeon)

3) Have AG Auto negotiate systems. (When the app is up use a websocket system, when it background use GCM, and when the network is down scan QR codes off pigeons)

The basic idea is to *wrap* messaging APIs (e.g. Stomp.js, Vertx's eventbus or Socket.io/Engine.io) behind a common client 'interface'. Basically the AeroGear-Notifier should be able to *connect* to a messaging system in order to *subscribe* to a channel to reveice messages from that channel. The AG-Notifier is also able to *publish* messages to ANY channel. Of course,*unsubscribe* and *disconnect* are required too... Sure... the above is not (YET) really a *SPEC*, but it's start.... the JS API of the AG-Notifier (DRAFT 0.0.1) could looks like this: /** * Connects to a given URL. The callback is invoked after a connection has been established. In case of an error, an Error * object will be passed to the callback */AeroGear.Notifier.connect(String url, function callback); /** * Tears down the connection. The callback is invoked after a connection has been closed. In case of an error, an * Error object will be passed to the callback */AeroGear.Notifier.disconnect(function callback); /** * Subscribes to a channel. The callback function is invoked for every message, received on the given channel. */AeroGear.Notifier.subscribe(String channel, function callback); /** * Removes the subscription of the given channel. */AeroGear.Notifier.unsubscribe(String channel); /** * Publishes a message to a given channel */AeroGear.Notifier.publish(String channel, Object message); Perhaps a *STATE-MASHINE* would be nice as well: AeroGear.Notifier.CONNECTING = 0;AeroGear.Notifier.OPEN = 1;AeroGear.Notifier.CLOSING = 2;AeroGear.Notifier.CLOSED = 3; <https://gist.github.com/matzew/bd4f3c41e1114c225eb1#implementation-of-the... of the Adapters The different adapter implementations will be done separately: ag-notifier-vertx.js...
