Example: Make exclusive updates to a topic
The following examples use the Diffusion™ API to register as the update source of a topic and to update that topic with content. A client that updates a topic using this method locks the topic and prevents other clients from updating the topic.
JavaScript
diffusion.connect({ host : 'diffusion.example.com', port : 443, secure : true, principal : 'control', credentials : 'password' }).then(function(session) { // A session may establish an exclusive update source. Once active, only this session may update topics at or // under the registration branch. session.topics.registerUpdateSource('exclusive/topic', { onRegister : function(topic, deregister) { // The handler provides a deregistration function to remove this registration and allow other sessions to // update topics under the registered path. }, onActive : function(topic, updater) { // Once active, a handler may use the provided updater to update any topics at or under the registered path updater.update('exclusive/topic/bar', 123).then(function() { // The update was successful. }, function(err) { // There was an error updating the topic }); }, onStandBy : function(topic) { // If there is another update source registered for the same topic path, any subsequent registrations will // be put into a standby state. The registration is still held by the server, and the 'onActive' function // will be called if the pre-existing registration is closed at a later point in time }, onClose : function(topic, err) { // The 'onClose' function will be called once the registration is closed, either by the session being closed // or the 'deregister' function being called. } }); });
