This document describes all messages sent by IMatch via the web socket.

IMatch occasionally sends messages to interested receivers. Messages are valid JSON.
Each message uses a string as the message identifier in the msg element, and additional parameters depending on the message.

Handling Messages

To receive messages from IMatch, you create a web socket with IMatch.openWebSocket method and then listen to incoming messages via onmessage.

IMatch.openWebSocket();

IMatch.webSocket().onmessage = function(e) {
    // Parse the message from string format into JSON.
    var msg = JSON.parse(e.data);

    if (msg.msg == 'fileWindow.selectionChanged') {
       // The user selected different files in the file window.
    }
    ...
};
        

Example

For a working example, see the App Spy or File Window sample app.
