Starting Session
There is no distinction between starting a new session or joining an existing session from the service's point of view. The
Codox client-side library will handle the bootstrapping logic for both cases transparently. When
init(config)is called without specifying a value for autoStart , or if the value ofautoStartis set totrue,then the Codox client will immediately start a new session if one doesn't exist, or join an existing session if one already exists. Example:
const editor = new Quill("#editor");
const codox = new Codox();
const config = {
"app" : "quilljs",
"editor" : editor,
"docId" : "document_1",
"username" : "Joe Smith",
"apiKey" : "8a97c7db-5155-4245-9f9d-16e3dfd11ef2", //replace with your own
"autoStart" : true, //the same as not specifying autoStart
};
//start co-editing immediately
codox.init(config);
If the
autoStartfield is set to false, then the Codox client will be initialized, but the session starting/joining process will be delayed till an explicit call to codox.start(). Calling
start will explicitly start or join a co-editing session. The config parameter is optional. If init(config) has already been invoked, calling start() will start/join the session based on the existing config values.Example:
function init(){
const editor = new Quill("#editor");
const codox = new Codox();
const config = {
"app" : "quilljs",
"editor" : editor,
"docId" : "document_1",
"username" : "Joe Smith",
"apiKey" : "8a97c7db-5155-4245-9f9d-16e3dfd11ef2", //replace with your
"autoStart" : false, //set to false to delay start/join
};
//initialization only
codox.init(config);
return codox;
}
const codox = init();
codox.start();
