Fitbit ASAP

Fitbit ASAP allows you to send peer messages between a Fitbit OS device and companion without worrying about the connection state. When no connection is available, messages are cached and automatically sent once a connection is available (hence the name ASAP, an English acronym for "as soon as possible").

Usage

This module assumes you're using the Fitbit CLI in your workflow, which allows you to manage packages using npm.

Installation

npm i fitbit-asap

Fitbit ASAP has a uniform API that works on both the app and the companion. The only difference is the module name in the import statement, which is fitbit-asap/app for the app and fitbit-asap/companion for the companion.

You'll also need to add permissions for access_internet and run_background in your package.json file.

"requestedPermissions": [
  "access_internet",
  "run_background"
]

App

import asap from "fitbit-asap/app"

asap.send("See you later, alligator.")

asap.onmessage = message => {
  console.log(message) // After a while, crocodile.
}

Companion

import asap from "fitbit-asap/companion"

asap.send("After a while, crocodile.")

asap.onmessage = message => {
  console.log(message) // See you later, alligator.
}

API

`asap.send(message, options)`

Queues a message to be sent to the peer.
message can be any data type.
options are currently ignored, but a timeout option will be supported soon.

`asap.onmessage = message => { ... }`

Called when a message is received from the peer.
message will be the same data type that was sent by the peer.
