App Context API for PubNub Go SDK

This page describes App Context (formerly Objects v2). To upgrade from Objects v1, refer to the migration guide.

App Context provides easy-to-use, serverless storage for user and channel data you need to build innovative, reliable, scalable applications. Use App Context to easily store metadata about your application users and channels, and their membership associations, without the need to stand up your own databases.

PubNub also triggers events when object data is set or removed from the database. Clients can receive these events in real time and update their front-end application accordingly.

User

Get Metadata for All Users

Returns a paginated list of UUID Metadata objects, optionally including the custom data object for each.

Method(s)

To Get All UUID Metadata you can use the following method(s) in the Go SDK:

pn.GetAllUUIDMetadata().
Include([]pubnub.PNUUIDMetadataIncludeCustom).
Sort(sort).
Limit(int).
Count(bool).
Start(string).
End(string).
Filter(string).
Execute()
ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
Include[]pubnub.PNUUIDMetadataIncludeOptionalList of additional/complex UUID attributes to include in response. Omit this parameter if you don't want to retrieve additional attributes. Available values: pubnub.PNUUIDMetadataIncludeCustom
SortArrayOptionalList of criteria (name of field) which should be used for sorting. Available options are id, name, and updated. Use asc or desc to specify sort direction. For example: {name: 'asc'}
LimitintOptionalNumber of objects to return in response. Default is 100, which is also the maximum value.
CountboolOptionalRequest Count to be included in paginated response. By default, Count is omitted.
StartstringOptionalRandom string returned from the server, indicating a specific position in a data set. Used for forward pagination, it fetches the next page, allowing you to continue from where you left off.
EndstringOptionalRandom string returned from the server, indicating a specific position in a data set. Used for backward pagination, it fetches the previous page, enabling access to earlier data. Ignored if the Start parameter is supplied.

Remove Channel Members

Remove members from a Channel.

Method(s)

To Remove Channel Members you can use the following method(s) in the Go SDK:

pn.RemoveChannelMembers().
Channel(string).
Remove([]pubnub.PNChannelMembersRemove{}).
Include([]pubnub.PNChannelMembersInclude).
Limit(int).
Count(bool).
Start(string).
End(string).
Execute()
ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
channelStringYesName of channel from which members should be fetched.
uuidsArrayYesList of UUIDs for which metadata associated with each of them in context of channel should be set. Each entry is dictionary with UUID and optional custom fields. custom should be dictionary with simple objects: String and Integer.
sortArrayOptionalList of criteria (name of field) which should be used for sorting. Available options are id, name, and updated. Use asc or desc to specify sort direction. For example: {name: 'asc'}
includeObjectOptional{ count: true }Additional information which should be included in response. Available options:
  • count- include how many UUID has been associated with metadata.
  • custom - include field with additional information from metadata which has been used during UUID metadata set requests.
filterStringOptionalExpression to filter out results basing on specified criteria. For more details on the supported grammar, check here
startStringOptionalRandom string returned from the server, indicating a specific position in a data set. Used for forward pagination, it fetches the next page, allowing you to continue from where you left off.
endStringOptionalRandom string returned from the server, indicating a specific position in a data set. Used for backward pagination, it fetches the previous page, enabling access to earlier data. Ignored if the start parameter is supplied.
limitIntegerOptional100Number of objects to return in response. Default is 100, which is also the maximum value.
http_syncBooleanOptionalfalseMethod will be executed asynchronously and will return future, to get its value you can use value method. If set to true, method will return array of envelopes (even if there's only one envelope). For sync methods Envelope object will be returned.
callbackLambda accepting one parameterOptionalCallback that will be called for each envelope. For async methods future will be returned, to retrieve value Envelope object you have to call value method (thread will be locked until the value is returned).
