Construct a client object using an Ably ClientOptions object.
A ClientOptions object to configure the client connection to Ably. Its plugins property should be an object describing which functionality the client should offer. See the documentation for ModularPlugins.
You must provide:
FetchRequest;WebSocketTransport.An Auth object.
A Channels object.
A client ID, used for identifying this client when publishing messages or for presence purposes. The clientId can be any non-empty string, except it cannot contain a *. This option is primarily intended to be used in situations where the library is instantiated with a key. A clientId may also be implicit in a token used to instantiate the library; an error will be raised if a clientId specified here conflicts with the clientId implicit in the token.
A Connection object.
A Push object.
Retrieves the presence state for one or more channels, up to a maximum of 100 channels. Presence state includes the clientId of members and their current PresenceAction.
An array of one or more channel names, up to a maximum of 100 channels.
A promise which, upon success, will be fulfilled with a BatchResult object containing information about the result of the batch presence request for each requested channel. Upon failure, the promise will be rejected with an ErrorInfo object which explains the error.
Publishes a BatchPublishSpec object to one or more channels, up to a maximum of 100 channels.
A BatchPublishSpec object.
A promise which, upon success, will be fulfilled with a BatchResult object containing information about the result of the batch publish for each requested channel. Upon failure, the promise will be rejected with an ErrorInfo object which explains the error.
Publishes one or more BatchPublishSpec objects to one or more channels, up to a maximum of 100 channels.
An array of BatchPublishSpec objects.
A promise which, upon success, will be fulfilled with an array of BatchResult objects containing information about the result of the batch publish for each requested channel for each provided BatchPublishSpec. This array is in the same order as the provided BatchPublishSpec array. Upon failure, the promise will be rejected with an ErrorInfo object which explains the error.
Calls connection.close() and causes the connection to close, entering the closing state. Once closed, the library will not attempt to re-establish the connection without an explicit call to connect().
Calls connection.connect() and causes the connection to open, entering the connecting state. Explicitly calling connect() is unnecessary unless the autoConnect property is disabled.
Makes a REST request to a provided path. This is provided as a convenience for developers who wish to use REST API functionality that is either not documented or is not yet included in the public API, without having to directly handle features such as authentication, paging, fallback hosts, MsgPack and JSON support.
The request method to use, such as GET, POST.
The request path.
The version of the Ably REST API to use. See the REST API reference for information on versioning.
Optional params: any
The parameters to include in the URL query of the request. The parameters depend on the endpoint being queried. See the REST API reference for the available parameters of each endpoint.
Optional body: any
The JSON body of the request.
Optional headers: any
Additional HTTP headers to include in the request.
A promise which, upon success, will be fulfilled with the HttpPaginatedResponse response object returned by the HTTP request. This response object will contain an empty or JSON-encodable object. Upon failure, the promise will be rejected with an ErrorInfo object which explains the error.
Queries the REST /stats API and retrieves your application's usage statistics. Returns a PaginatedResult object, containing an array of Stats objects. See the Stats docs.
Optional params: StatsParams
A set of parameters which are used to specify which statistics should be retrieved. If you do not provide this argument, then this method will use the default parameters described in the StatsParams interface.
A promise which, upon success, will be fulfilled with a PaginatedResult object containing an array of Stats objects. Upon failure, the promise will be rejected with an ErrorInfo object which explains the error.
Retrieves the time from the Ably service as milliseconds since the Unix epoch. Clients that do not have access to a sufficiently well maintained time source and wish to issue Ably TokenRequests with a more accurate timestamp should use the queryTime property instead of this method.
A promise which, upon success, will be fulfilled with the time as milliseconds since the Unix epoch. Upon failure, the promise will be rejected with an ErrorInfo object which explains the error.
Generated using TypeDoc
A client that extends the functionality of BaseRest and provides additional realtime-specific features.
BaseRealtimeis the equivalent, in the modular variant of the Ably Client Library SDK, of theRealtimeclass in the default variant of the SDK. The difference is that its constructor allows you to decide exactly which functionality the client should include. This allows unused functionality to be tree-shaken, reducing bundle size.
