Sample for working with Podio's CometD/Bayeux service.

podio-push-sample.js

/*

Based on example code from Carl-Fredrik Herö from Elvenite AB <http://elvenite.se/>

Install dependencies:
* npm install faye
* npm install git://github.com/haugstrup/podiojs.git

Add needed info:
* Populate client_id and client_secret for your API key
* Populate podioUser with your credentials

Start server:
* node push-sample.js

*/

var http = require('http'),
    faye = require('faye');

// Initialize podiojs client
var podio = require('podiojs');
podio.client.client_id = '';
podio.client.client_secret = '';

// Login details
var podioUser = {
  username: '',
  password: '',
  user_id: 
};

// Error handling for podiojs
podio.on('error', function(apiRequest, response, body){
  console.error('Podio Error:', body);
});

// Initialize faye client
var fayeClient = new faye.Client('https://push.podio.com/faye');

// Extend faye client with signature and timestamp used for authentication
fayeClient.addExtension({
  'outgoing': function(message, callback) {
    message.ext = message.ext || {};
    message.ext = {private_pub_signature: push.channel.signature, private_pub_timestamp: push.channel.timestamp};
    callback(message);
  }
});

// Simple push object for handling a subscription
var push = {
  subscription: null,
  channel: null,
  messageReceived: function(message) {
    console.log("New message received: ", message);

    // You probably want to filter out your own messages:
    if (message.data.created_by.type == 'user' && message.data.created_by.id != podioUser.user_id){

      // ... do something.

    }
  },
  addSubscription: function(channel) {
    this.channel = channel;
    this.subscription = fayeClient.subscribe(this.channel.channel, this.messageReceived);

    this.subscription.then(function(){
      console.log('Subscription is now active');
    }, function(error){
      console.error('Subscription failed: ', error.message, error);
    });

  }
};

// Authenticate with Podio
// Locate push channel for user object
// Add subscription to channel
podio.authenticate('password', {'username': podioUser.username, 'password': podioUser.password}, function(response, body){
  podio.get('/user/status', {}, function(response, body){
    push.addSubscription(body.push);
  });
});

Is this code expected to work? I can't get any of it to work. The initial initialization is wrong, podio.on() isn't even a function of the podio.api.
Or it just outdated?
