Channel Groups API for PubNub Unity SDK

Channel Groups allows PubNub developers to bundle thousands of channels into a group that can be identified by name. These Channel Groups can then be subscribed to, receiving data from the many backend-channels the channel group contains.

Learn more about our Channel Groups here.

Adding Channels

Requires Stream Controller add-on Requires that the Stream Controller add-on is enabled for your key. See this page on enabling add-on features on your keys:

Description

This function adds a channel to a channel group.

Method(s)

Adding Channels is accomplished by using the following method(s) in the Unity V4 SDK:

Note

200 channels can be added to the channel group per API call.

1. pubnub.AddChannelsToChannelGroup().Channels(List<string>).ChannelGroup(string).QueryParam(Dictionary<string,string>).Async()
   

   Parameter	Type	Required	Description
   Channels	List	Yes	The Channels to add to the channel group.
   ChannelGroup	string	Yes	The ChannelGroup to add the channels to.
   QueryParam	Dictionary<string, string>	Optional	QueryParam accepts a Dictionary object, the keys and values are passed as the query string parameters of the URL called by the API.
   Async	PNCallback	Yes	PNCallback of type PNChannelGroupsAddChannelResult.

Basic Usage

Adding Channels :

pubnub.AddChannelsToChannelGroup()
    .Channels(new List<string> (){"my_channel"})
    .ChannelGroup("channelGroup")
    .Async((result, status) => {
        if(status.Error){
            Debug.Log (string.Format("In Example, AddChannelsToChannelGroup Error: {0} {1} {2}", status.StatusCode, status.ErrorData, status.Category));
        } else {
            Debug.Log (string.Format("DateTime {0}, In Example AddChannelsToChannelGroup, result: {1}", DateTime.UtcNow, result.Message));
        }
    });

Returns

The AddChannelsToChannelGroup() does not return actionable data, be sure to check the status object on the outcome of the operation by checking the status.isError().

Listing Channels

Requires Stream Controller add-on Requires that the Stream Controller add-on is enabled for your key. See this page on enabling add-on features on your keys:

Description

This function lists all the channels of the channel group.

Method(s)

Listing Channels is accomplished by using the following method(s) in the Unity V4 SDK:

   Parameter	Type	Required	Description
   ChannelGroup	string	Yes	Channel group to fetch the channels.
   QueryParam	Dictionary<string, string>	Optional	QueryParam accepts a Dictionary object, the keys and values are passed as the query string parameters of the URL called by the API.
   Async	PNCallback	Yes	PNCallback of type PNChannelGroupsAllChannelsResult.

Basic Usage

Listing Channels:

pubnub.ListChannelsForChannelGroup()
    .ChannelGroup("cg")
    .Async((result, status) => {
        if(status.Error){
            Debug.Log (string.Format("In Example, ListAllChannelsOfGroup Error: {0} {1} {2}", status.StatusCode, status.ErrorData, status.Category));
        } else {
            Debug.Log (string.Format("In Example ListAllChannelsOfGroup, result: {0}", (result.Channels!=null)?string.Join(",", result.Channels.ToArray()):""));
        }
    });

Returns

The ListChannelsForChannelGroup() operation returns a PNChannelGroupsAllChannelsResult which contains the following operations:

Method	Type	Description
Channels	List	List of channels of a channel group.

   Channels	List	Yes	The Channels to remove from the channel group.
   ChannelGroup	string	Yes	Specifies ChannelGroup to remove the channels from.
   QueryParam	Dictionary<string, string>	Optional	QueryParam accepts a Dictionary object, the keys and values are passed as the query string parameters of the URL called by the API.
   Async	PNCallback	Optional	PNCallback of type PNChannelGroupsRemoveChannelResult.

Basic Usage

Removing channels:

pubnub.RemoveChannelsFromChannelGroup()
    .Channels(new List<string> (){"son"})
    .ChannelGroup("family")
    .Async((result, status) => {
        Debug.Log ("in RemoveChannelsFromCG");
        if(status.Error){
            Debug.Log (string.Format("In Example, RemoveChannelsFromCG Error: {0} {1} {2}", status.StatusCode, status.ErrorData, status.Category));
        } else {
            Debug.Log (string.Format("DateTime {0}, In RemoveChannelsFromCG, result: {1}", DateTime.UtcNow, result.Message));
        }
    });

Returns

The RemoveChannelsFromChannelGroup() does not return actionable data, be sure to check the status object on the outcome of the operation by checking the status.IsError().
