pusher-platform-node

pusher-platform-nodejs

Pusher Platform SDK for Node.js.

Installation

Add pusher-platform to your package.json file:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "pusher-platform": "^0.2.0"
  }
}

Usage

In order to access Pusher Platform, first instantiate an App object:

var pusher = require("pusher-platform");

var app = new pusher.App({
  cluster: "",
  app_id: "",
  app_key: "",
});

Authetication

App objects provide an authenticate method, which can be used in controllers to build authentication endpoints. Authentication endpoints issue access tokens used by Pusher Platform clients to access the API.

Make sure you authenticate the user before issuing access tokens.

let authOptions = {
  userId: 'zan',
  serviceClaims: {
    claim1: 'sdsdsd'
    ...
  }
}

let authResponse = app.authenticate(req, {
  userId: 'r00t',
  serviceClaims: {
    name: 'zan',
    admin: true
  }
});

Where the authResponse is an object containing your access and refresh tokens:

let = authResponse: {
  access_token: {
    token: 'adsasd',
    expires_id: 1000
  },
  token_type: 'bearer';
  expires_in: 20000;
  refresh_token: 'cvbccvbb'
}

Request API

App objects provide a low-level request API, which can be used to contact Pusher Platform.

pusherApp.request({
  method: "POST",
  path: "feeds/playground",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: pusher.writeJSON({ items: ["test"] }),
}).then(function(response) {
  console.log(response.statusCode);
  console.log(response.headers);
  return pusher.readJSON(response);
}).then(function(body) {
  console.log(body);
}).catch(function(e) {
  if (e instanceof pusher.ErrorResponse) {
    console.log(e.statusCode);
    console.log(e.headers);
    console.log(e.description);
  } else {
    console.log(e);
  }
});
