Playlyfe Odysseus

Parse and build stories out of Playlyfe Events.

---

Odysseus is a story spinner at heart, taking in the events in JSON format, and spinning out human readable sentences to be consumed by apps. Odysseus can output messages in both plain-text and HTML formats.

Usage

Odysseus can be used as a node module, or as a bower module. It depends on the libraries momentjs and lodash.

Node

Odysseus = require('playlyfe-odysseus');
odysseus = new Odysseus(config);
...

For getting proper messages in HTML format, you can supply a list of markup classes you want to assign different parts of the sentence. This markup class list will be in a key-value format like so:

config.markup = {
  actor: "pl-actor",
  target: "pl-target",
  object: "pl-object",
  role_list: "pl-role-list",
  ...
  timestamp: "pl-ts"
};

The meaning of the markup tags are listed below:

• actor: the actor in the event.
• player: the player (or rather, the target) in the event.
• object: the team/process in the event.
• role_list: the list of roles.
• diff_list: the list of changes.
• list_header: the title of the list.
• role: the role name.
• lane: the lane name.
• diff_add: the role added in a diff_list.
• diff_rem: the role removed in a diff_list.
• diff_change: the item in the diff_list which has both an addition and a removal.
• timestamp: the timestamp for the event.
