Samples

// Add a new message broadcaster:
genesys.wwe.service.messenger.broadcastMessage("my-channel", { foo: "A foo text.", bar: 1234 }, succeeded, failed)
// The operation "broadcastMessage" from the service "messenger" takes a channel name and any JSON-compliant object.
 
// In order to receive this message, you must "subscribe" to "my-channel":
genesys.wwe.service.subscribe([ "messenger:my-channel" ], function(message) { console.log("message: " + message.data); }, this);
// It is possible to subscribe to several channels:
genesys.wwe.service.subscribe([ "messenger:my-channel", "messenger:my-channel2" ], function(message) {
  console.log("message: " + message.data + ", channel: " + message.event);
}, this);

When a message is broadcast to your channel, you receive an event called messenger:<channel> with the message in the data attribute. For example, here's the event for the broadcast in the sample above:

{
  "event": "messenger:my-channel",
  "data": {
    "foo": "A foo text.",
    "bar": 1234
  },
  "userAgent": "WWE Server",
  "protocolVersion": 2
}
