Integrating Ethora chat with your existing (legacy) backend. Endpoint requests examples.

[TarasFilatov]

 

This video (narrated in Ukrainian by Borys our backend architect engineer) demonstrates integrating Ethora chat with your existing backend.

Endpoint request examples are shown.

Javascript code sample:

const jwt = require("jsonwebtoken")

// example of secret
const secret = '9ddbf686a76eab7fb35e2f447e66cc0b'
const appId = '6706332db1b1a4e984d3c7bc'

const craeteServerToken = function() {
    return jwt.sign({data: {appId, type: 'server'}}, secret, {
            // expiresIn: 60000,
            algorithm: 'HS256'
    })
}

function createClientToken(userId) {
    return jwt.sign(
        // jwt payload should include current userId & appId
        {data: {type: 'client', userId: userId, appId: appId}},
        // only backend should know secret
        secret,
        // token options 
        {
            expiresIn: 480,
            algorithm: 'HS256'
        })
}

console.log("server token ", craeteServerToken())
console.log("client token ", createClientToken("mock4"))

 

Also attached below is a Postman file demonstrating server token and client token generation.
