Native Cisco Spark SDK for Unity 5.4+

About

This library takes advantage of the new UnityEngine.Networking.UnityWebRequest functionality introduced in Unity 5.4. It talks to Spark through these web requests that run as coroutines to avoid blocking the main thread. Results are returned via Action callbacks.

This SDK will always aim for parity with the web APIs at http://developer.ciscospark.com.

It provides:

• Commit() for creating or updating a record.
• Delete() for deletion.
• Load() for populating an object with a Spark record.
• Implementations of ListObject() for querying records.

Setup

1. Either:
   • Import the UnityPackage from releases into your Unity project.
   • OR: Clone this repository (or submodule) into your project's Assets/ folder.
   • OR: Clone the example project located here https://github.com/RichLogan/CiscoSpark-UnityProject
2. You will need the MiniJSON.cs script if you're not already using it. I don't include it as it will cause conflicts if you already use it. You can get it here: https://github.com/Jackyjjc/MiniJSON.cs/blob/master/MiniJSON.cs
3. Place the Cisco Spark Manager prefab from Spark/Prefabs into your scene.
4. Set the AuthenticationString variable of the Request component in the Inspector.
   • Your token (or your bot's token) can be found at http://developer.ciscospark.com
   • Support for integrations/OAuth is coming!

Quickstart

The basic syntax/flow to run any of the requests is:

{c#}
// Object is generated from ID or as a new object
var sparkObject = new Room/Membership/etc()
// Some operation is sent to Spark.
StartCoroutine(sparkObject.someFunction(requiredParams, error => {
    // This will run on an error.
    Debug.LogError("The operation failed: " + error.Message);
}, success => {
    // This will run on success.
    Debug.Log("The operation was a success!");
}, optionalParams));

• Any parameters required by Spark will come first.
• The error callback will return a SparkMessage if a request cannot be completed.
• The success callback will return true if an operation has succeded.
• For ListObjects success would be a list of the returned objects.
• Finally, any optional parameters would be given.

Examples

Here is an example of sending a Message to a given Room from Unity (without knowing the RoomId beforehand).

{c#}
using UnityEngine;
using Cisco.Spark;

public class Spark : MonoBehaviour {

    void SendMessageToTestRoom() {
        // List all rooms you are a member of.
        var listRooms = Room.ListRooms(error => {
            // Error callback would fire here.
            Debug.LogError(error.Message);
        }, rooms => {
            // Success! We now have all the rooms we're in.
            foreach (var room in rooms) {
                // Find the Test Room we want to post in.
                if (room.Title == "Test Room") {
                    // Create our message.
                    var testMessage = new Message(room);
                    testMessage.Markdown = "Hello from **Spark**";

                    // Save our message to Spark!
                    var saveMessage = testMessage.Commit(messageError => {
                        Debug.LogError(messageError.Message);
                    }, success => {
                        Debug.Log("The message was saved to Spark successfully!");
                    });
                    StartCoroutine(saveMessage);
                }
            }
        });
        StartCoroutine(listRooms);
    }

    // When you know IDs, it's even easier!
    void SendToBob() {
        var bob = new Person(bobsId);
        var message = new Message(bob);
        message.Text = "Hi Bob!";
        StartCoroutine(message.Commit(error => {
            Debug.LogError("Couldn't send message to Bob :( " + error.Message);
        }, success => {
            Debug.Log("Sent to Bob :)");
        }));
    }
}

One other thing to note is how the SDK creates objects as a result of most queries:

• Spark usually only returns IDs and metadata for any calls that are not a specific "GetDetails" call.
• For objects created by these "indirect" requests, you will need to call Load() on them.
• In the below example, listing messages in a Room will not populate the resultant message objects with the actual content (Text or Files) until you call Load().
• Likewise, a Person object would be created for message.Author, but again you will have to call Load() on it to retrieve anything other than ID.

{c#}
StartCoroutine(someRoom.ListMessages(error => {}, results => {
    // Prints null.
    Debug.Log(results[0].Text);
    foreach (var message in results) {
        StartCoroutine(message.Load(error => {}, success => {
            // Prints the message.
            Debug.Log(message.Text);
        }));
    }
}));

Tests

Tests can be run and opening the SparkIntegrationTests scene in Spark/Tests and setting your auth token in Request. All tests can then be run using the Unity Integration Test Runner by selecting Integration Tests Runner from the Unity Test Tools

Note: This will create/edit/destroy real test rooms/memberships/etc on the given Spark account, but they will clean up after themselves when possible.
