@consento/api

@consento/api

@consento/api is the main API for build consento systems.

Under heavy development.

Setup

The consento API has a few configuration points.

const { setup } = require('@consento/api')
const api = setup({
  core: require('@consento/crypto/core/sodium') // or '@consento/crypto/core/friends' depending on environment
  notificationTransport // Implementation of notification transport
})

Crypto

@consento/crypto is the foundation upon which Consento is built.

The API exposes the crypto primitives through api.crypto. e.g.:

const { Sender } = api.crypto

Notifications

The Consento API comes with an end-to-end encrypted notification system.

const { notifications } = api

Any ISender instance is able to submit notifications:

notifications.send(sender, 'Hello World')

For another device/instance to receive the notification, the device needs to first register the matching IReceiver

notifications.subscribe(sender.newReceiver())

All messages are received through a single handler:

notifications.on('message', (receiver: IReceiver, message) => {
  // Handle the message result.
})

Of course it is possible to unsubscribe from receiving messages:

notifications.unsubscribe(receiver)
