Constructor #

This is the main entry point to communicate with Kuzzle. Every other object inherits properties from the Kuzzle object.

Kuzzle(host, [options], [callback]) #

Arguments	Type	Description
`host`	string	The server name (or the IP address) of a Kuzzle server installation
`options`	JSON object	Optional Kuzzle connection configuration
`callback`	function	Optional callback

Options #

Option	Type	Description	Default
`autoQueue`	boolean	Automatically queue all requests during offline mode	`false`
`autoReconnect`	boolean	Automatically reconnect after a connection loss	`true`
`autoReplay`	boolean	Automatically replay queued requests on a `reconnected` event	`false`
`autoResubscribe`	boolean	Automatically renew all subscriptions on a `reconnected` event	`true`
`connect`	string	Manually or automatically connect to the Kuzzle instance	`auto`
`defaultIndex`	string	Set the default index to use
`headers`	JSON object	Common headers for all sent documents
`volatile`	JSON object	Common volatile data, will be sent to all future requests
`offlineMode`	string	Offline mode configuration	`manual`
`port`	integer	Kuzzle network port	7512
`queueTTL`	integer	Time a queued request is kept during offline mode, in milliseconds	`120000`
`queueMaxSize`	integer	Number of maximum requests kept during offline mode	`500`
`replayInterval`	integer	Delay between each replayed requests, in milliseconds	`10`
`reconnectionDelay`	integer	number of milliseconds between reconnection attempts	`1000`
`sslConnection`	boolean	Switch Kuzzle connection to SSL mode	`false`

Notes:

the offlineMode option only accepts the manual and auto values

Properties #

Property name	Type	Description	Writable?
`autoQueue`	boolean	Automatically queue all requests during offline mode	Yes
`autoReconnect`	boolean	Automatically reconnect after a connection loss	No
`autoReplay`	boolean	Automatically replay queued requests on a `reconnected` event	Yes
`autoResubscribe`	boolean	Automatically renew all subscriptions on a `reconnected` event	No
`defaultIndex`	string	Kuzzle's default index to use	Yes
`headers`	JSON object	Common headers for all sent documents.	Yes
`host`	string	Target Kuzzle host name/address	No
`jwtToken`	string	Token used in requests for authentication.	Yes
`offlineQueue`	JSON object	Contains the queued requests during offline mode	No
`offlineQueueLoader`	function	Called before dequeuing requests after exiting offline mode, to add items at the beginning of the offline queue	Yes
`port`	integer	Kuzzle network port	No
`queueFilter`	function	Called during offline mode. Takes a request object as arguments and returns a boolean, indicating if a request can be queued	Yes
`queueMaxSize`	integer	Number of maximum requests kept during offline mode	Yes
`queueTTL`	integer	Time a queued request is kept during offline mode, in milliseconds	Yes
`replayInterval`	integer	Delay between each replayed requests	Yes
`reconnectionDelay`	integer	Number of milliseconds between reconnection attempts	No
`sslConnection`	boolean	Connect to Kuzzle using SSL	No
`volatile`	JSON object	Common volatile data, will be sent to all future requests	Yes

Notes:

if connect is set to manual, the connect method will have to be called manually
the kuzzle instance will automatically queue all requests, and play them automatically once a first connection is established, regardless of the connect or offline mode option values.
multiple methods allow passing specific volatile data. These volatile data will be merged with the global Kuzzle volatile object when sending the request, with the request specific volatile taking priority over the global ones.
the queueFilter property is a function taking a JSON object as an argument. This object is the request sent to Kuzzle, following the Kuzzle API format
if queueTTL is set to 0, requests are kept indefinitely
The offline buffer acts like a first-in first-out (FIFO) queue, meaning that if the queueMaxSize limit is reached, older requests are discarded to make room for new requests
if queueMaxSize is set to 0, an unlimited number of requests is kept until the buffer is flushed
the offlineQueueLoader must be set with a function, taking no argument, and returning an array of objects containing a query member with a Kuzzle query to be replayed, and an optional cb member with the corresponding callback to invoke with the query result
updates to host, port, autoReconnect, reconnectionDelay and sslConnection properties will only take effect on next connect call

Callback response #

If the connection succeeds, resolves to the Kuzzle object itself. If the connect option is set to manual, the callback will be called after the connect method is resolved.

Usage #

<?php
use \Kuzzle\Kuzzle;
$kuzzle = new Kuzzle('localhost', [
  'defaultIndex' => 'some index',
  'port' => 7512
]);
