API Commands

Once you've registered your own plugin on the bus, you can call commands on other registered plugins. Below we'll quickly register a new plugin on the bus using the global bus object.

Important
The global bus object is a debug tool. When implementing Widgets on your own site, do not use the global bus object to register your custom plugins. Instead, see Widgets Extensions for more information about extending Genesys Widgets.


var oMyPlugin = window._genesys.widgets.bus.registerPlugin('MyPlugin');

oMyPlugin.command('Search.open');

configure

Internal use only. The main App plugin shares configuration settings to widgets using each widget’s configure command. The configure command can only be called once at startup. Calling configure again after startup may result in unpredictable behavior.

Example

oMyPlugin.command('Search.configure', {

	enabled: false,
	hideDuringInvite: false,
	template: '<span>Template</span>',
	effect: 'fade',
	effectDuration: 1000,
	openDelay: 1000

}).done(function(e){

	// Search configured successfully

}).fail(function(e){

	// Invalid configuration
});


Options

Option Type Description
enabled boolean Enable/disable Search button on screen.
hideDuringInvite boolean When auto-invite feature is activated, hide the Search button. When invite is dismissed, reveal the Search button again.
template string Custom HTML string template for Search button.
