Accessors

me

get me(): Identity

Returns Identity

Deprecated
me should only be accessed from the fin global (FinApi.me); access through entity classes is not guaranteed to behave sensibly in all calling contexts.

Inherited from Base.me

Methods

connectSync

connectSync(name: string, interopConfig?: InteropConfig): Interop.InteropClient
Connects a client to an Interop broker. This is called under-the-hood for Views in a Platform.
Parameters
- name: string
  The name of the Interop Broker to connect to. For Platforms, this will default to the uuid of the Platform.
- OptionalinteropConfig: InteropConfig
  Information relevant to the Interop Broker. Typically a declaration of what context(s) the entity wants to subscribe to, and the current Context Group of the entity.
Returns Interop.InteropClient
Remarks
Example
```
const interopConfig = {
    currentContextGroup: 'fdc3.channel.4'
}

const interopBroker = await fin.Interop.init('openfin');
const client = await fin.Interop.connectSync('openfin', interopConfig);
const contextGroupInfo = await client.getInfoForContextGroup();
console.log(contextGroupInfo);
```

init

init(
    name: string,
    override?:
        | OverrideCallback<Interop.InteropBroker, Interop.InteropBroker>
        | ConstructorOverride<Interop.InteropBroker>[],
): Promise<Interop.InteropBroker>
Initializes an Interop Broker. This is called under-the-hood for Platforms.
Parameters
- name: string
  Name of the Interop Broker.
- override:
  | OverrideCallback<Interop.InteropBroker, Interop.InteropBroker>
  | ConstructorOverride<Interop.InteropBroker>[] = defaultOverride
  A callback function or array of callback functions that can be used to extend or replace default Interop Broker behavior.
Returns Promise<Interop.InteropBroker>
Remarks
For Platforms, this is set up automatically. We advise to only create your own Interop Broker when not using a Platform app. You can override functions in the Interop Broker. More info here.
Example
```
const interopBroker = await fin.Interop.init('openfin');
const contextGroups = await interopBroker.getContextGroups();
console.log(contextGroups);
```
