Interface IntentResolution

IntentResolution provides a standard format for data returned upon resolving an intent.

//resolve a "Chain" type intent
let resolution = await agent.raiseIntent("intentName", context);

//resolve a "Client-Service" type intent with a data response or a Channel
let resolution = await agent.raiseIntent("intentName", context);
try {
	   const result = await resolution.getResult();
    if (result && result.broadcast) {
        console.log(`${resolution.source} returned a channel with id ${result.id}`);
    } else if (result){
        console.log(`${resolution.source} returned data: ${JSON.stringify(result)}`);
    } else {
        console.error(`${resolution.source} didn't return data`
    }
} catch(error) {
    console.error(`${resolution.source} returned an error: ${error}`);
}

// Use metadata about the resolving app instance to target a further intent
await agent.raiseIntent("intentName", context, resolution.source);
interface IntentResolution {
    intent: string;
    source: AppIdentifier;
    version?: string;
    getResult(): Promise<IntentResult>;
}

Properties

Readonlyintent

intent: string

The intent that was raised. May be used to determine which intent the user chose in response to fdc3.raiseIntentForContext().

Readonlysource

source: AppIdentifier

Identifier for the app instance that was selected (or started) to resolve the intent. source.instanceId MUST be set, indicating the specific app instance that received the intent.

Optional Readonlyversion

version?: string

The version number of the Intents schema being used.

Methods

getResult

  • getResult(): Promise<IntentResult>

  • Retrieves a promise that will resolve to Context data returned by the application that resolves the raised intent, a Channel established and returned by the app resolving the intent or void.

    A Channel returned MAY be of the PrivateChannel type. The client can then addContextListener() on that channel to, for example, receive a stream of data.

    If an error occurs (i.e. an error is thrown by the handler function, the promise it returns is rejected, or the promise resolved to an invalid type) then the Desktop Agent MUST reject the promise returned by the getResult() function of the IntentResolution with a string from the ResultError enumeration.

    Returns Promise<IntentResult>
