Introduction to Autopublish
Autopublish is a powerful feature that allows developers to automatically broadcast data changes to clients in real-time. This feature is especially useful for web and mobile applications that require up-to-date information without manually refreshing the data.
Getting Started with Autopublish
To help you get started, we have compiled a series of useful API explanations with accompanying code snippets.
Basic Autopublish Setup
import autopublish from 'autopublish';
autopublish.config({
apiKey: 'your-api-key',
appId: 'your-app-id'
});
autopublish.start();
Create a New Publication
autopublish.createPublication({
name: 'newPublication',
target: 'http://example.com/data'
});
Subscribe to a Publication
autopublish.subscribe('newPublication', (data) => {
console.log('Received new data:', data);
});
Handle Subscription Data
autopublish.onData('newPublication', (data) => {
// Process the data as needed
updateUI(data);
});
function updateUI(data) {
document.getElementById('dataContainer').innerHTML = JSON.stringify(data);
}
Stop Autopublish
autopublish.stop();
App Example with Autopublish API Integration
Below is a simple example of a web application that uses the autopublish APIs to keep data synchronized with the server.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Autopublish Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="dataContainer">Loading data...</div>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript (app.js)
import autopublish from 'autopublish';
autopublish.config({
apiKey: 'your-api-key',
appId: 'your-app-id'
});
autopublish.start();
autopublish.subscribe('newPublication', (data) => {
document.getElementById('dataContainer').innerHTML = JSON.stringify(data);
});
Server Setup
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.get('/data', (req, res) => {
res.json({ message: 'Hello, autopublish!' });
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Server running on port 3000');
});
In this example, the client subscribes to the “newPublication” and updates the content of the dataContainer div whenever new data is received from the server.
Autopublish simplifies real-time data synchronization and ensures that your applications are always displaying the latest information to users.
