Memberships API for PubNub Kotlin SDK

PubNub allows you to store the relation between Users and Spaces through Memberships. Using the Memberships API, you can track and display all available User-to-Space and Space-to-User associations and provide additional details about the type of relation a User and the Space have, like, for example, being an administrator of the Space.

Calling Kotlin methods

Most PubNub Kotlin SDK method invocations return an Endpoint object, which allows you to decide whether to perform the operation synchronously or asynchronously. You must choose one of these or the operation will not be performed at all.

For example, the following code is valid and will compile, but the publish won't be performed:

pubnub.publish(
    message = "this sdk rules!",
    channel = "my_channel"
)

To successfully publish a message, you must follow the actual method invocation with whether to perform it synchronously or asynchronously, for example:

pubnub.publish(
    message = "this sdk rules!",
    channel = "my_channel"
).async { result, status ->
    if (status.error) {
        // handle error
    } else {
        // handle successful method result
    }
}

Enable Memberships API

To enable Memberships API, add the following to your project's build.gradle file:

api platform("com.pubnub:pubnub-kotlin-bom:0.1.0")
implementation "com.pubnub:pubnub-memberships"
implementation "com.pubnub:pubnub-kotlin"

Events

PubNub sends out system-wide events when Memberships, Spaces/Channels, and Users are created, updated, or removed. You can choose to receive these events to trigger additional logic.

Enabling/Disabling events

You can configure whether events are generated in the Admin Portal.

Receive Membership events

To receive Membership events on, for example, matrix channel:

Subscribe to the channel:

pubnub.subscribe(
    channels = listOf(`matrix`)
)

Add a dedicated Memberships listener:

        pubnub.addMembershipEventsListener {
            when (it) {
                is MembershipModified -> {}
                is MembershipRemoved -> {}
            }
        }

Membership created or updated event

The following is the structure of the Membership create/update event:

data class MembershipModified(
    override val spaceId: SpaceId,
    override val timetoken: Long,
    val data: Data
) : MembershipEvent() {
    data class Data(
        val space: Space,
        val user: User,
        val custom: Map<String, Any>?,
        val status: String?
    )
}

Membership removed event

The following is the structure of the remove event:

data class MembershipRemoved(
    override val spaceId: SpaceId,
    override val timetoken: Long,
    val data: Data
) : MembershipEvent() {
    data class Data(
        val space: Space,
        val user: User
    )
}
