WatsonWorkspace

Module for working with Watson Workspace spaces.

Quick start

1. Require the watson-workspace module:

   const ww = require('watson-workspace');

2. Invoke the API functions. See the Examples section for details.

Authentication API

• auth.getToken: Get a token to use for Watson Workspace interactions.

  On success: Returns a JSON object representing a valid token.

  On failure: Throws HTTP StatusCodeError.

  Example

    const ww = require('@ics/watson-workspace');
    const appId = process.env.APP_ID;
    const appSecret = process.env.APP_SECRET;
  
    var token;
  
    Promise.resolve()
    .then(() => ww.auth.getToken(token, appId, appSecret))
    .then((returnToken) => {
        console.log('Token: ' + JSON.stringify(returnToken));
        token = returnToken;
    })
    .catch((err) => console.error(err));

  Token: {"access_token":"eyJh...","token_type":"bearer","expires_in":43199,"scope":"read write","id":"3908d0cd-6df2-497d-a683-45a8616f8e85","jti":"ca7f671d-392a-4fca-a0b4-6842f8b9d8a9"}

• auth.verifyWebhook: Verifies the challenge sent by Watson Workspace when enabling a webhook.

  On success: Returns a JSON object indicating success.

  On failure: Throws WebhookVerificationError or HTTP StatusCodeError.

  Example

  const ww = require('@ics/watson-workspace');
  
  return Promise.resolve()
  .then( () => ww.auth.verifyWebhook(req, res, webhookSecret) )
  .then( (result) => console.log('Result: ' + JSON.stringify(result)) )
  .catch( (err) => console.error(err) );

Spaces API

• spaces.getSpaceByName: Gets information about the specified Watson Workspace space.

  On success: Returns a JSON object representing a Watson Workspace space.

  On failure: Throws NoSuchSpaceError or HTTP StatusCodeError.

  Example

    const ww = require('@ics/watson-workspace');
    const appId = process.env.APP_ID;
    const appSecret = process.env.APP_SECRET;
    const spaceName = "Chad's Sandbox";
  
    var token;
  
    Promise.resolve()
    .then( () => ww.auth.getToken(token, appId, appSecret) )
    .then( (returnToken) => token = returnToken )
    .then( () => ww.spaces.getSpaceByName(spaceName, token.access_token) )
    .then( (space) => console.log('Space: ' + JSON.stringify(space)) )
    .catch( (err) => console.error(err) );

  Space: {"id":"58d0f0e6e4b014d4036ee597","title":"Chad's Sandbox","description":null,"created":"2017-03-21T09:22:46.689+0000","updated":"2017-06-09T18:08:31.102+0000","membersUpdated":"2017-06-05T17:13:16.956+0000","createdBy":{"id":"48125740-8f0b-1028-92c4-db07163b51b2","email":"[email protected]"},"updatedBy":{"id":"48125740-8f0b-1028-92c4-db07163b51b2","email":"[email protected]"},"members":{"items":[{"email":"[email protected]","displayName":"Chad Scott"},{"email":null,"displayName":"WWModuleTester"}]}}

• spaces.getSpaceById: Gets information about the specified Watson Workspace space.

  On success: Returns a JSON object representing a Watson Workspace space.

  On failure: Throws NoSuchSpaceError or HTTP StatusCodeError.

  Example

    const ww = require('@ics/watson-workspace');
    const appId = process.env.APP_ID;
    const appSecret = process.env.APP_SECRET;
    const spaceId = '58d0f0e6e4b014d4036ee597';
  
    var token;
  
    Promise.resolve()
    .then( () => ww.auth.getToken(token, appId, appSecret) )
    .then( (returnToken) => token = returnToken )
    .then( () => ww.spaces.getSpaceById(spaceId, token.access_token) )
    .then( (space) => console.log('Space: ' + JSON.stringify(space)) )
    .catch( (err) => console.error(err) );

  Space: {"id":"58d0f0e6e4b014d4036ee597","title":"Chad's Sandbox","description":null,"created":"2017-03-21T09:22:46.689+0000","updated":"2017-06-09T18:08:31.102+0000","membersUpdated":"2017-06-05T17:13:16.956+0000","createdBy":{"id":"48125740-8f0b-1028-92c4-db07163b51b2","email":"[email protected]"},"updatedBy":{"id":"48125740-8f0b-1028-92c4-db07163b51b2","email":"[email protected]"},"members":{"items":[{"email":"[email protected]","displayName":"Chad Scott"},{"email":null,"displayName":"WWModuleTester"}]}}

    const appId = process.env.APP_ID;
    const appSecret = process.env.APP_SECRET;
    const space = "Chad's Sandbox";
    var message = ww.messages.messageTemplate;
    message.annotations[0].text = 'Hello world!';
  
    var token;
  
    Promise.resolve()
    .then( () => ww.auth.getToken(token, appId, appSecret) )
    .then( (returnToken) => token = returnToken )
    .then( () => ww.spaces.getSpace(space, token.access_token) )
    .then( (space) => ww.messages.sendMessageToSpace(message, space.id, token.access_token) )
    .then( (result) => console.log('Result: ' + JSON.stringify(result)) )
    .catch( (err) => console.error(err) );

  Result: {"result":"success"}

Users API

• users.getUserById: Gets information about the specified user.

    const appSecret = process.env.APP_SECRET;
    const userId = '48125740-8f0b-1028-92c4-db07163b51b2';
  
    var token;
  
    Promise.resolve()
    .then( () => ww.auth.getToken(token, appId, appSecret) )
    .then( (returnToken) => token = returnToken )
    .then( () => ww.users.getUserById(userId, token.access_token) )
    .then( (user) => console.log('User: ' + JSON.stringify(user)) )
    .catch( (err) => console.error(err) );

  User: {"id":"48125740-8f0b-1028-92c4-db07163b51b2","displayName":"Chad Scott","email":"[email protected]"}

• users.getUserByEmail: Gets information about the specified user.

  On success: Returns a JSON object representing the user.
