Two way communication

[yackermann]

How would you implement two way communication described in http://x-callback-url.com/examples/

Something like:

targetapp://x-callback-url/translate?
x-success=sourceapp://x-callback-url/acceptTranslation&
x-source=SourceApp&
x-error=sourceapp://x-callback-url/translationError&
word=Hello&
language=Spanish

Using closure on one side to receive response
https://github.com/phimage/CallbackURLKit#use-callback-closure

And on the other side by calling success(with param or not) or failure(with error) or cancel
https://github.com/phimage/CallbackURLKit#add-new-action

@phimage so do I need to declare a new manager instance in my client class to handle incoming callbacks?

[phimage]

one manager by app, you can use the default one

[yackermann]

@phimage ok, I don't exactly understand closures with on* operations

I have Client class with a method that does call.

            try self.perform(action: "runOperation", parameters: parameters,  onSuccess: { parameters in
                
            }, onFailure: nil, onCancel: nil)

How do I pass sourceapp://x-callback-url/acceptTranslation on x-success?

[phimage]

did you need to know how to do it exactly or just fulfil a need to interact with two of your applications?
Maybe one is not yours and need specific this url

The framework do it automatically but use sourceapp://x-callback-url/response/ for error or success and pass an ID to retrieve the code to execute in callback

And in closure you can execute the code that could be call in an action called "acceptTranslation"

I can add parameters to implement such behaviour if I have time...

[yackermann]

@phimage https://github.com/phimage/CallbackURLKit/blob/master/Sources/Manager.swift#L197
that implies that callback will happen to /response?

[phimage]

Yes this is the code
This is an auto communication, and success, ..., closure will be called

We could add an 'Action'(string) by callback type and change here the URL if this action is specified

[yackermann]

@phimage hm.. Can't I just set it as one of the params?

let parameters = [
    "x-succes": "sourceapp://x-callback-url/acceptTranslation"
]

[yackermann]

@phimage additionally I am adding this plugin to the ObjectiveC app, and app delegate is actually in obj-c, and I can figure out how to add Manager.shared to pass it url handling

[phimage]

yes you can try to put this as parameters, never tried... I expect that I do not filter it

for obj-c I never tried if there is some incompatibility
You cannot access register ?

CallbackURLKit.register(action: "acceptTranslation") { parameters, _, _, _ in

}

[yackermann]

@phimage Setting as parameter works.

I am working on Objective-c event binding to swift. I found this is how they do it in https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-cordova-oauth2/

Here they are catching call https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-cordova-oauth2/blob/master/src/ios/AppDelegate%2Burl.m#L36 which calls notification event

and here is the handler for event https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-cordova-oauth2/blob/master/src/ios/oauth-0.4.0/OAuth2Module.swift#L92

[phimage]

with swizzle they try to achieve this automatically but it's not mandatory
