WEB BANDYER SDK

The BandyerSDK is a fast and effective way to offer a live videochat in your web application.

Consuming a library

You can consume the library from NPM:

npm install @bandyer/bandyer-chat-widget

or embed it directly in your HTML getting it from our CDN:

<script src="https://cdn.bandyer.com/sdk/js/chat/X.X.X/bandyer-widget.min.js" type="text/javascript" ></script>

Example embed in HTML page;

<html>
    <head></head>
    <body>
        <script src="https://cdn.bandyer.com/sdk/js/chat/2.9.1/bandyer-widget.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    </body>
</html>

The script attaches in the window object the global variable BandyerSDK from where you can access the library.

    environment: 'sandbox or production'
});

This method allows the configuration of the BandyerSDK and it returns a Client object that can be used to connect and use the library. Be sure to keep a reference of this object somewhere in your code because it is impossible to retrieve it again due to security constraints.

The configuration of a new BandyerSDK instance is made by calling the BandyerSDK.configure() method. The available options are the following:

Parameters
Parameter Required Default Description
region yes Region on witch your account belongs. Allowed parameters are eu, in, us or me
environment yes Allowed values are: sandbox or production
appId yes A valid appId associated to your account

});

User details provider

Since Kaleyra Video solution treats users of a company referring to them only via anonymous identifiers, in order to display users details on sdk integrations (chat widget, Android and iOS SDks) and call links each platform expose a set of client api to customize the user information (display name and avatar).

In order to obtain user display name and image customization on the client call and chat UIs, has now been released a new convenient and centralized way to achieve the same result. We refer to this newly released API as Server side User Details Provider.

Server side User Details Provider

In order to enable this functionality you must specify a valid user_details_provider_url through the company update rest API.

The provider url, if defined, will be used as an endpoint to request the details of the users through a http post request whenever a client needs to display some user details.

As mentioned above, the best use case scenario for the Server side User Details Provider implementation is represented by those integrations that rely on a heterogeneous usage of client sdks (e.g. mobile sdks alongside chat widget implementation) and call links. Using the Server side User Details Provider will result in a more concise (and less error-prone too) way to display users information. Furthermore, it's not will be necessary to implement the Client side user Details Provider APIs for the client SDKs.

Despite what has been mentioned, the Client side user Details Provider will be maintained for those integrations that cannot rely on webhook implementations.

More details about the REST integration of the Server side user Details Provider can be found here.

Client side user Details Provider

The BandyerSDK exposes the Client side user Details Provider API as a custom configurable function that allows customizing the users' information, which later will be displayed in the UI. The userDetailsProvider is optional, but if defined must be a function.

This function takes an array of String (userId) as the only input parameter and must return a Promise that contains an Array of objects, one object for each userId provided as input.

Beware Client side user details Provider has a higher priority over the server side one, so be careful in implementing both the solutions.

Beware of Performance, the userDetailsProvider function is called and waited internally for up to 1200 ms, otherwise it uses the default provider logic. For this reason your logic will be applied only if it is faster than 1200 ms.

Every single object representing a user and must contain a userId key(otherwise the object will be ignored) and optionally other keys that can be used to define the logic used in your custom userDetailFormatter.

Here an example:

yourProviderFunction = function(usersIds) {
    const userObjPromises = [];
    usersIds.forEach(userId => {
        // Your logic here
        const user = yourAsyncFetchFunction(userId);
        // Example of yourAsyncFetchFunction promise return
        /* {
        userId: userId,
        firstName: myFirstName,
        lastName: myLastName,
        image: myImage
    }; */
        usersObjPromises.push(user);
    });
    return Promise.all(userObjPromises);
};

BandyerSDK.configure({
    region: 'eu',
    appId: 'wAppId_fake123456',
    environment: 'sandbox',
    userDetailsProvider: yourProviderFunction
});

N.B define a userDetailsProvider without the relative userDetailsFormatter is useless since the displayed result will be the server side information or the userId as it is the default logic of userDetailsFormatter.

Client side user details formatter

The local user details formatter API, if defined is a function that allows to use the information obtained from Client side user Details Provider in order to obtain a displayName to use in the different UIs

The userDetailsFormatter is optional, but if defined, it must be a function.

This function takes as input parameter an Object that represents one user and must return a String that represents how the user identity must be displayed in the UI.

If the return value is not a String or the logic fails, the displayed information will be the remote (if provided) or the userId.

Here an example:

yourFormatterFunction = function(user) {
    /*
    user = {
        userId: userId
        customParam1: the parameter provided in the providerFunction
        customParam2:  another parameter provided in the providerFunction
        displayName: optional parameter if you have defined a provider url for you company 
        }
     */
    return user.customParam1 + ' ' + user.customParam2;
};

BandyerSDK.configure({
    region: 'eu',
    appId: 'wAppId_fake123456',
    environment: 'sandbox',
    userDetailsFormatter: yourFormatterFunction
});

destroyClient

.destroyClient()

await BandyerSDK.destroyClient();

Allows to de-initialize the BandyerSDK, this operation destroys the client reference after which you are able to configure a new Client.

Client type

Methods

Properties

Name Type Description
channelsView channelView Retrieve the list of channel view
callView CallView Retrieve the current callView
region string Retrieve the region value forwarded in the configuration step
environment string Retrieve the environment value forwarded in the configuration step
appId string Retrieve the appId value forwarded in the configuration step
userId string Retrieve the userId value forwarded in the configuration step

Events

Name Description
client:access_token:expired The session expired, for some reason the update token process is failed, you need to re-connect the Client with a new access token
client:access_token:about_to_expire The session is about to expire, you need to provide a valid accesstoken through the updateAccessToken api
client:force_disconnect The user was disabled or deleted via REST api
channel:message:sent When a message was sent in a channel
channel:message:received When a message was received in a channel
channel:added When a channel was added using client api or rest
channel:removed When a channel was removed using client api or rest
call:incoming When there is an incoming call
call:status:changed Triggered when the call change the status. See call status
user:status:changed Triggered when a user change the status(online / offline)

Client life cycle

To connect the Client object you need a valid accessToken, you can obtain a valid access token via rest API

If you want to have a persisted user connected across the calls you need to obtain a valid accessToken token via rest API

In order to maintain the connected state you need to bind two events to the Client object(obtained with Configure):

  • access_token_is_about_to_expire
  • access_token_expired Follow an example of licfecycle implementation:
//configuration step

// access token request

Client.on('client:access_token:is_about_to_expire', async data => {
    // data: {expiresAt: "2022-01-10T11:41:19.000Z"'}
    const accessToken = await yourAsyncFunction(); // async function that allow you to ask a new accessToken to the server
    // Provide the obtained accessToken to the sdk
    const { expiresAt } = await Client.updateAccessToken(accessToken); // return the new expiration date
});
Client.on('client:access_token:expired', async () => {
    // the session expired, for some reason the update token process is failed, you need to re-connect the Client with a new access token
    await Client.disconnect();
    // retrieve a new accessToken
    await Client.connect(userId, accessToken);
});

Client.on('client:force_disconnect', () => {
    // the user was disabled or deleted from a rest api
});
try {
    await Client.connect(userId, accessToken);
} catch (e) {
    console.error('Fail to connect the client', error);
}

Otherwise, you can use a classic call link obtained from the create call rest API

In that case the lifecycle is strictly related to the call, once the call finish the user is automatically disconnected.

try {
    const accessLink = 'https://sandbox.bandyer.com/eu/direct-rest-call-handler/adufj5769cnapmce';
    // remember that the link must match the region and the environment forwarded in the configuration phase
    await Client.joinCallUrl(accessLink);
} catch (e) {
    console.error('Fail to connect the client', error);
}

There is no need to manage and handle the access Token.

Following there are the two method for the connection

Connect

To connect the Client object you need a valid accessToken, you can obtain a valid access token via rest API

The access token must match the userId provided

.connect()

try {
    await Client.connect(userId, accessToken);
} catch (e) {
    console.error('Fail to connect the client', error)
}
Parameters
Parameter Required Default Description
userId yes User that you want to authenticate
accessToken yes Access token corresponding to the user provided
Errors
Name description
sdk_version_invalid If one or more parameter have an incorrect type, see the message to knows which ones
sdk_version_unsupported The browser is not supported, please check the compatibility table above
app_id_invalid The appId used in configuration step is invalid
access_token_expired The access token is expired, please retrieve a new one before retry the connection
access_token_invalid he access token is invalid, please check the token generation
access_token_invalid_signature The access token is compromised, please check the token generation
access_token_invalid_user The access token not belong to the userId forwarded in the connect method
user_not_found The user does not exists

Connect with access link

BandyerSDK can optionally be connected using a call url link. The session that will be created using the call url link as access link will last only for the duration of the joined call.

All the sdk feature will be restricted on the call represented by the call link url.

In addition, the only chat accessibile will be the chat related to the current call specified by the call link url.

At the end of the call the BandyerSDK will be automatically disconnected and all persisted data will be cleared as well.

Note that if BandyerSDK is already connected via access token, connecting via access link with the same user or with another user is not allowed. The current access link session must be ended before connecting again.

.joinCallURL(url)

try {
    const call: CallView = await Client.joinCallURL(url);
} catch (e) {
    console.error('Fail to connect the client', error);
}
Parameters
Name Type Description
url string Valid url for the call
Errors
Name description
sdk_version_invalid If one or more parameter have an incorrect type, see the message to knows which ones
sdk_version_invalid If one or more parameter have an incorrect type, see the message to knows which ones
invalid_access_link The access link is not a valid url
invalid_access_link The access link is not valid, the room is inactive or the user does not belong to the URL
app_id_invalid The appId used in configuration step is invalid
user_not_found The user does not exists

Disconnect

.disconnect()

await Client.disconnect();

Update access token

Allow to refresh the session, you can obtain a valid access token via rest API

.updateAccessToken()

await updateAccessToken(accessToken);
Parameters
Parameter Required Default Description

Client: Chat API and types

If the Client was created with the chat module enabled it can perform some chat operation, also expose some real time events.

Events

// when a message was sent in a channel
Client.on('channel:message:sent', ({message: Message}) => {

    // yuor logic
});

// triggered when the call change the status (connecting, connected, ended)
Client.on('call:status:changed', ({ call: Call, status }) => {
    // yuor logic, note if the status was ended, the call object can have a endReason
});

Migration from v1.x.x to v2.x.x

Library changes

The library name has been changed from BandyerChat to BandyerSDK so now you can find the library once loaded from the CDN in window.BandyerSDk.

Initialize the BandyerSDK

The BandyerChat.create() function has been renamed to BandyerSDK.configure() to better represent its purpose.

The BandyerSDK.configure() function will now return a client which exposes all the apis previosuly exposed on the BandyerChat object.

The client object will also expose a new distinct client.connect() function that connects the SDK.

The BandyerChat.logout() function has been replaced by the client.disconnect() function exposed on the client object and by the BandyerSDK.destroyClient() that can be used to reconfigure the SDK.

Migrate BandyerChat.create to BandyerSDK.configure

console.log(BandyerChat.version());

const client = await BandyerChat.create({ userAlias, environment, appId, mode, layout });

// the SDK is connected
// put here your logic

await BandyerChat.logout();

becomes

console.log(BandyerSDK.version);

const client = BandyerSDK.configure({ region, environment, appId, mode, layout, tools });

// note that the client is not globally expose, if you want you can global store the object with window.bandyerClient =client

client.on('client:access_token:is_about_to_expire', async () => {
    const accessToken = await getAccessToken(userId); // your async function to obtain a valid accessToken
    await client.updateAccessToken(accessToken);
});

// the SDK is configured

// your async function to obtain a valid accessToken
const accessToken = await getAccessToken(userId);

// userAlias parameters is now called userId
await client.connect(userId, accessToken);

// the SDK is connected
// put here your logic

await client.disconnect(); // replacement of the old BandyerChat.logout() function

BandyerSDK.destroyClient(); // destroys the client allowing a new configuration

Configuration parameters changes

old value new value change
record recordingType Parameter key
tools tools Not specifying tools now means that the user will have none
language language The current default is en

Migrate Chat methods

const chatsList = await BandyerChat.getChats();

await BandyerChat.addChat(userId);

BandyerChat.selectChat(userId);

BandyerChat.composeMessage(userId, 'How are you?', false);

BandyerChat.composeMessage(userId, 'How are you?', true);

const unreadMessagesList = await BandyerChat.getUnreadMessages();

await BandyerChat.removeChat(userId);

becomes

const chatsList = Client.channelsView; // array of channelViews instead of getChats()

const channelView = await Client.addChannel(userId);

channelView.select();

channelView.textArea = 'How are you'; // same as composeMessage with send = false

const message = await channelView.channel.sendMessage('How are you'); // same as composeMessage with send = true

channelView.channel.unreadMessages; // get unreadMessages on singleChannels instead of getUnreadMessages()

await Client.removeChannel(userId);

});

Migrate User methods

const user = await BandyerChat.getUser(userId);

console.log(user.status);

const users = await BandyerChat.getUsersStatusList();

users.forEach(user => {
    console.log(user.status);
});

becomes

const users = Client.getOnlineUsers();

users.forEach(user => {
    console.log('the user', user, 'is online');
});

// if a user is not in the list above the status is offline

Migrate User events

Client.on('user_connected', callback);

Client.on('user_disconnect', callback);

becomes

Client.on('user:status:changed', ({ userId, status }) => {
    console.log('the user', userId, 'went', status);
});

Migrate Widget methods

BandyerChat.showWidget();
BandyerChat.hideWidget();
