brainCloud NodeJS client

Install

npm i braincloud-node

or if still in development

npm i git+ssh://git@bitbucket.org:bitheadsinc/braincloud-node.git

Usage

var bc = require("braincloud-node")

function authenticated(response) {
    console.log("Did get Authenticated to profileId:" + response.data.profileId);
    var shareable = true;
    var replaceIfExists = true;
    _bc.brainCloudClient.file.prepareFileUpload("tests","dummyFile",shareable,replaceIfExists,)
}
_bc = new bc.BrainCloudWrapper("_mainWrapper");
// This Node implementation does not use jQuery so turn it off.
_bc.brainCloudManager.useJQuery(false);

secret = "aaaaaaaa-bbbb-0000-cccc-111111111111";
appId = "00000";

console.log("Initializing brainCloud");
_bc.initialize(appId, secret, "1.0.0");

console.log("Authenticating anonymously to brainCloud");
_bc.authenticateAnonymous(authenticated);

Implementation notes

File Upload

The file upload works slightly different in this implementation. Instead of using XMLHttpRequest you need to use XMLHttpRequest4Upload. Also the file object passed into uploadFile call needs to be a Read Stream from the nodes fs module.

var fs = require("fs")
... 
_bc.brainCloudClient.file.prepareFileUpload("test2", fileName, shareable, replaceIfExists, fileSize, function (result) {
    if (result.status == 200) {
        var uploadId = result.data.fileDetails.uploadId;
        var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest4Upload();
        file2 = fs.createReadStream("./someFile.ext");
        file2.size = fileSize;
            xhr.addEventListener("load", transferComplete);
        xhr.addEventListener("error", transferFailed);
        console.log("Uploading file with id:" + uploadId + " (size : " + fileSize + " )");
        _bc.brainCloudClient.file.uploadFile(xhr, file2, uploadId);
    } else {
        console.log("Error preparing for upload, " + result.reason_code );
    }
}
...

Only load and error listeners are triggered in this implementations.

Sessions

Sessions are not maintained across executions of scripts. i.e. Each script must initialy login.
