function getViewData(viewName: string, data: any): any {}

Allows you to alter the data that a "view" will receive.

type Job = { name: string, data: any };
type Jobs = { [string]: Job };
function prepareRequest(currentJobs: Jobs, originalJobs: Jobs): Jobs {}

A reducer type function that is called when preparing the request that will be sent to Hypernova. This function receives the current running jobs Object and the original jobs Object.

function shouldSendRequest(jobs: Jobs): boolean {}

An every type function. If one returns false then the request is canceled.

function willSendRequest(jobs: Jobs): void {}

An event type function that is called prior to a request being sent.

type Job = { name: string, data: any };
type Response = {
  [string]: {
    error: ?Error,
    html: string,
    job: Job,
  },
};
function afterResponse(currentResponse: any, originalResponse: Response): any {}

A reducer type function which receives the current response and the original response from the Hypernova service.

type Job = { name: string, data: any };
type Jobs = { [string]: Job };
function onSuccess(jobs: Jobs): void {}

An event type function that is called whenever a request was successful.

type Job = { name: string, data: any };
type Jobs = { [string]: Job };
function onError(err: Error, jobs: Jobs): void {}
