How to use?

1️⃣ Search channel

1. Create the connection

node-sonic-channel can be instanciated in search mode as such:

var SonicChannelSearch = require("sonic-channel").Search;

var sonicChannelSearch = new SonicChannelSearch({
  host : "::1",            // Or '127.0.0.1' if you are still using IPv4
  port : 1491,             // Default port is '1491'
  auth : "SecretPassword"  // Authentication password (if any)
}).connect({
  connected : function() {
    // Connected handler
    console.info("Sonic Channel succeeded to connect to host (search).");
  },

  disconnected : function() {
    // Disconnected handler
    console.error("Sonic Channel is now disconnected (search).");
  },

  timeout : function() {
    // Timeout handler
    console.error("Sonic Channel connection timed out (search).");
  },

  retrying : function() {
    // Retry handler
    console.error("Trying to reconnect to Sonic Channel (search)...");
  },

  error : function(error) {
    // Failure handler
    console.error("Sonic Channel failed to connect to host (search).", error);
  }
});

2. Query the search index

Use the same sonicChannelSearch instance to query the search index:

sonicChannelSearch.query("messages", "default", "valerian saliou")
  .then(function(results) {
    // Query results come there
  })
  .catch(function(error) {
    // Query errors come there
  });

3. Teardown connection

If you need to teardown an ongoing connection to Sonic, use:

sonicChannelSearch.close()
  .then(function() {
    // Close success handler
  })
  .catch(function(error) {
    // Close errors come there
  });

2️⃣ Ingest channel

1. Create the connection

node-sonic-channel can be instanciated in ingest mode as such:

var SonicChannelIngest = require("sonic-channel").Ingest;

var sonicChannelIngest = new SonicChannelIngest({
  host : "::1",            // Or '127.0.0.1' if you are still using IPv4
  port : 1491,             // Default port is '1491'
  auth : "SecretPassword"  // Authentication password (if any)
}).connect({
  connected : function() {
    // Connected handler
    console.info("Sonic Channel succeeded to connect to host (ingest).");
  },

  disconnected : function() {
    // Disconnected handler
    console.error("Sonic Channel is now disconnected (ingest).");
  },

  timeout : function() {
    // Timeout handler
    console.error("Sonic Channel connection timed out (ingest).");
  },

  retrying : function() {
    // Retry handler
    console.error("Trying to reconnect to Sonic Channel (ingest)...");
  },

  error : function(error) {
    // Failure handler
    console.error("Sonic Channel failed to connect to host (ingest).", error);
  }
});

2. Manage the search index

Use the same sonicChannelIngest instance to push text to the search index:

sonicChannelIngest.push("messages", "default", "conversation:1", "I met Valerian Saliou yesterday. Great fun!")
  .then(function() {
    // Push success handler
  })
  .catch(function(error) {
    // Push errors come there
  });

3. Teardown connection

If you need to teardown an ongoing connection to Sonic, use:

sonicChannelIngest.close()
  .then(function() {
    // Close success handler
  })
  .catch(function(error) {
    // Close errors come there
  });

3️⃣ Control channel

1. Create the connection

node-sonic-channel can be instanciated in control mode as such:

var SonicChannelControl = require("sonic-channel").Control;

var sonicChannelControl = new SonicChannelControl({
  host : "::1",            // Or '127.0.0.1' if you are still using IPv4
  port : 1491,             // Default port is '1491'
  auth : "SecretPassword"  // Authentication password (if any)
}).connect({
  connected : function() {
    // Connected handler
    console.info("Sonic Channel succeeded to connect to host (control).");
  },

  disconnected : function() {
    // Disconnected handler
    console.error("Sonic Channel is now disconnected (control).");
  },

  timeout : function() {
    // Timeout handler
    console.error("Sonic Channel connection timed out (control).");
  },

  retrying : function() {
    // Retry handler
    console.error("Trying to reconnect to Sonic Channel (control)...");
  },

  error : function(error) {
    // Failure handler
    console.error("Sonic Channel failed to connect to host (control).", error);
  }
});

2. Administrate your Sonic server

You may use the same sonicChannelControl instance to administrate your Sonic server.

3. Teardown connection

If you need to teardown an ongoing connection to Sonic, use:

sonicChannelControl.close()
  .then(function() {
    // Close success handler
  })
  .catch(function(error) {
    // Close errors come there
  });

List of channel methods

For details on argument values, see the Sonic Channel Protocol specification.

Search channel

  • sonicChannelSearch.query(collection_id<string>, bucket_id<string>, terms_text<string>, [options{limit<number>, offset<number>, lang<string>}<object>]?) ➡️ Promise(results<object>, error<object>)
  • sonicChannelSearch.suggest(collection_id<string>, bucket_id<string>, word_text<string>, [options{limit<number>}<object>]?) ➡️ Promise(results<object>, error<object>)

Ingest channel

  • sonicChannelIngest.push(collection_id<string>, bucket_id<string>, object_id<string>, text<string>, [options{lang<string>}<object>]?) ➡️ Promise(_, error<object>)
  • sonicChannelIngest.pop(collection_id<string>, bucket_id<string>, object_id<string>, text<string>) ➡️ Promise(count<number>, error<object>)
  • sonicChannelIngest.count<number>(collection_id<string>, [bucket_id<string>]?, [object_id<string>]?) ➡️ Promise(count<number>, error<object>)

How is it linked to Sonic?

node-sonic-channel maintains persistent TCP connections to the Sonic network interfaces that are listening on your running Sonic instance. In case node-sonic-channel gets disconnected from Sonic, it will retry to connect once the connection is established again.

You can configure the connection details of your Sonic instance when initializing node-sonic-channel from your code; via the Sonic host and port.
