bigbluebutton-api-js is a very simple Javascript library that generates links to all methods in BigBlueButton's API. It's written in Coffeescript and should work in the browser or in Node.js applications.
Open example/index.html or check http://mconf.github.com/bigbluebutton-api-js for a quick example of what this lib does.
This library requires:
Once you add these libraries to your page, you can get the links with (code in Coffeescript):
# Create an API object passing the url, the salt and the mobile salt api = new BigBlueButtonApi("http://test-install.blindsidenetworks.com/bigbluebutton/api/", "8cd8ef52e8e101574e400365b55e11a6", "03b07") # A hash of parameters. # The parameter names are the same names BigBlueButton expects to # receive in the API calls. The lib will make sure that, for each # API call, only the parameters it support will be used. params = name: "random-9998650" meetingID: "random-9998650" moderatorPW: "mp" attendeePW: "ap" welcome: "<br>Welcome to <b>%%CONFNAME%%</b>!" attendeePW: "ap" fullName: "User 8584148" meetingID: "random-9998650" moderatorPW: "mp" password: "mp" publish: false random: "416074726" record: false recordID: "random-9998650" voiceBridge: "75858" urls = api.getUrls(params) # Will return an object with all URLs, similar to: { create: "http://test-install.blindsidenetworks.com/bigbluebutton/api/create?name=random-266119&meetingID=random-266119&moderatorPW=mp&attendeePW=ap&welcome=%3Cbr%3EWelcome%20to%20%3Cb%3E%25%25CONFNAME%25%25%3C%2Fb%3E!&voiceBridge=76262&record=false&checksum=6c529b6e31fbce9668fd66d99a09da7a78f4" , end: "http://test-install.blindsidenetworks.com/bigbluebutton/api/end?meetingID=random-266119&password=mp&checksum=4f0df85832063a4606786a8f4207a6629fcc" , getMeetings: "http://test-install.blindsidenetworks.com/bigbluebutton/api/getMeetings?random=446147049&checksum=94ba109ea7348ea7d89239855812fdd7bdaf" ... }At first install Node.js, see package.json for the specific version required.
Install the dependencies with:
npm install -d Then, to compile the coffee files into javascript, run:
cake build This will compile all *.coffee files in /src to javascript files in /lib.
To watch for changes and compile the files automatically run:
cake watch Distributed under The MIT License (MIT), see LICENSE.
