Inbox Updates

Events play a crucial role in modern applications, allowing them to instantly respond to changes in stored data. Monitoring and reacting to entries and Inbox-related events, is essential for maintaining up-to-date records, triggering workflows, and ensuring synchronization across various parts of the system.

Types of Events

Before receiving Events, your application must first subscribe to a group of events. In the case of Inbox, types of events are the following:

Inbox events:

• inboxCreated - triggers when a new Inbox is created in your Context
• inboxDeleted - triggers when an Inbox is deleted from your Context
• inboxUpdated - triggers when an Inbox is updated in your Context

Entry events:

• inboxEntryCreated - triggers when an entry is sent to an Inbox
• inboxEntryDeleted - triggers when an entry is deleted from an Inbox

Handling Inbox Events

Here is an example of how to do it in your own project:

const eventQueue = await Endpoint.getEventQueue()

    const eventQueue = await EndpointFactory.getEventQueue();
    let listenForEventsPromise = null;
 
    function listenForEvents(queue) {
        if (!listenForEventsPromise) {
            listenForEventsPromise = queue.waitEvent();
            listenForEventsPromise.then(result => {
                console.log("Event Received:", result);
                listenForEventsPromise = null;
                listenForEvents(queue);
            })
        }
    }
 
    listenForEvents(eventQueue);

You can now subscribe for events you need:

await inboxApi.subscribeForInboxEvents()

await inboxApi.subscribeForEntryEvents(inboxID)

await inboxApi.unSubscribeForInboxEvents()
