.. _`events-API`:
|
||||
|
||||
Events and promises
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
Converse and its plugins emit various events which you can listen to via the
|
||||
:ref:`listen-grouping`.
|
||||
|
||||
Some of these events are also available as `ES2015 Promises <http://es6-features.org/#PromiseUsage>`_,
|
||||
although not all of them could logically act as promises, since some events
|
||||
might be fired multpile times whereas promises are to be resolved (or
|
||||
rejected) only once.
|
||||
|
||||
The core events, which are also promises are:
|
||||
|
||||
* `cachedRoster`_
|
||||
* `chatBoxesFetched`_
|
||||
* `connectionInitialized`_
|
||||
* `controlboxInitialized`_ (only via the `converse-controlbox` plugin)
|
||||
* `pluginsInitialized`_
|
||||
* `roomsPanelRendered`_ (only via the `converse-muc` plugin)
|
||||
* `rosterContactsFetched`_
|
||||
* `rosterGroupsFetched`_
|
||||
* `rosterInitialized`_
|
||||
* `roster`_
|
||||
* `statusInitialized`_
|
||||
|
||||
For more info on how to use (or add promises), you can read the
|
||||
:ref:`promises-grouping` in the API documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
Below we will now list all events and also specify whether they are available
|
||||
as promises.
|
||||
|
||||
Global events
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
With global events, we mean events triggered in the global context, i.e. on the
|
||||
`window` object in browsers.
|
||||
|
||||
converse-loaded
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
Once Converse.js has loaded, it'll dispatch a custom event with the name
|
||||
``converse-loaded``.
|
||||
|
||||
You can listen for this event in your scripts and thereby be informed as soon
|
||||
as converse.js has been loaded, which would mean it's safe to call
|
||||
``converse.initialize``.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: javascript
|
||||
|
||||
window.addEventListener('converse-loaded', () => {
|
||||
converse.initialize();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
List protected of events (and promises)
|
||||
----------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Hooking into events that Converse.js emits is a great way to extend or
|
||||
customize its functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
From version 3.0.0 and up, it's only possible to register event handlers inside
|
||||
a plugin, by using the closured ``_converse`` object. When writing a plugin,
|
||||
remember that it will also have to be whitelisted, before it will be loaded.
|
||||
Refer to the :ref:`whitelisted_plugins` setting.
|
||||
|
||||
Here follows the different events that are emitted:
|
||||
|
||||
afterMessagesFetched
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Emitted whenever a chatbox has fetched its messages from ``sessionStorage`` and
|
||||
**NOT** from the server.
|
||||
|
||||
This event is listened to by the ``converse-mam`` plugin to know when it can
|
||||
fetch archived messages from the server.
|
||||
|
||||
The event handler is passed the ``Backbone.View`` instance of the relevant chat
|
||||
box.
|
||||
|
||||
``_converse.api.listen.on('afterMessagesFetched', function (chatboxview) { ... });``
|
||||
|
||||
.. _`cachedRoster`:
|
||||
|
||||
cachedRoster
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The contacts roster has been retrieved from the local cache (`sessionStorage`).
|
||||
|
||||
``_converse.api.listen.on('cachedRoster', function (items) { ... });``
|
||||
|
||||
Also available as an `ES2015 Promise <http://es6-features.org/#PromiseUsage>`_:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: javascript
|
||||
|
||||
_converse.api.waitUntil('cachedRoster').then(function () {
|
||||
// Your code here...
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
See also the `roster`_ event further down.
|
||||
|
||||
callButtonClicked

||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
.. _`chatBoxesFetched`:
|
||||
|
||||
chatBoxesFetched
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Any open chatboxes (from this current session) has been retrieved from the local cache (`sessionStorage`).

|
||||
related to open chatboxes.
|
||||
|
||||
``_converse.api.listen.on('chatBoxesFetched', function (items) { ... });``
|
||||

pluginsInitialized
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Emitted once all plugins have been initialized. This is a useful event if you want to
|
||||
register event handlers but would like your own handlers to be overridable by
|
||||
plugins. In that case, you need to first wait until all plugins have been
|
||||
initialized, so that their overrides are active. One example where this is used
|
||||
is in `converse-notifications.js <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/src/converse-notification.js>`.

|
||||
reconnecting
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~

each subsequent time, if it attempts repeatedly).
|
||||
|
||||
reconnected
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
registeredGlobalEventHandlers
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Called once Converse has registered its global event handlers (for events such
|
||||
as window resize or unload).
|
||||
|
||||
Plugins can listen to this event as cue to register their own global event
|
||||
handlers.
|
||||
|
||||
roomsAutoJoined
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Emitted once any rooms that have been configured to be automatically joined,
|
||||
specified via the _`auto_join_rooms` setting, have been entered.
|
||||

|
||||
|

|
||||

|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
See also the `cachedRoster` event further up, which gets called instead of
|
||||
`roster` if its already in `sessionStorage`.

.. _`rosterContactsFetched`:
|
||||
|
||||
rosterContactsFetched
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

|
||||
`converse-rosterview.js` plugin to know when it can start to show the roster.
|
||||
|
||||
Also available as an `ES2015 Promise <http://es6-features.org/#PromiseUsage>`_:
|
||||
|
||||

rosterInitialized
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

groups are now again available after converse.js has reconnected.
|
||||
|
||||
serviceDiscovered
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|

|
||||
When window state has changed. Used to determine when a user left the page and when came back.

## The public and private API

`converse.initialize` (see :ref:`initialize`) gets called.

Exposing promises

Converse has a ``waitUntil`` API method (see :ref:`waituntil-grouping`)

Converse has a `waitUntil </docs/html/api/-_converse.api.html#.waitUntil>`_ API method
|
||||
which allows you to wait for various promises to resolve before executing a
|

piece of code.
|
||||
|

You can add new promises for your plugin by calling
|

``_converse.api.promises.add`` (see :ref:`promises-grouping`).
|

`_converse.api.promises.add </docs/html/api/-_converse.api.promises.html#.add>`_.

Generally, your plugin will then also be responsible for making sure these
|

promises are resolved. You do this by calling ``_converse.api.emit``, which not

promises are resolved. You do this by calling
|
||||
`_converse.api.trigger </docs/html/api/-_converse.api.html#.trigger>`_, which not

only resolves the plugin but will also emit an event with the same name.
