Socket Connection

In order to connect the user and the doctor there should be a channel that reflects the status update of the consultation, So we have the TBISocket class to deal with the socket

Socket Attributes

For initiating the socket, you need the socketChannel and socketKey from the Consultation object

Here is the consultation data once the consultation is created:

{
  consultationId: 123,
  socketChannel: "channel"
  socketKey: "key"
  # ... Other Consultation properties
}

TBISocket initiateSocket

Using initiateSocket method the connection will be established and subscribed.

You only need following:

• appKey This is the socketKey from Consultation
• channelName This is the socketChannel from Consultation
• onEvent This is a function to handle the events and data from socket connection

Check the code below:

import AltibbiTelehealth
// get appKey and channelName from the created consultation info
// declare a function 'onEvent' to get the events from the socket

func onEvent(name: String, data: String?) {
    if let data = data {
        if data == "accepted" {
            // This indicates that doctor accepted the consultation but still not started
        } else if data == "in_progress" {
            // This indicates that consultation started
        }
    }
}
TBISocket.initiateSocket(
    appKey: appKey,
    channelName: channelName,
    onEvent: onEvent
)

Next Step (Move to Consultation)

From the onEvent function the data returned will be the status that indicates the acceptance and starting of the consultation

During the socket connection, you can use getConsultationInfo to check if the Consultation Config is ready

For chat consultation the data will include the chatConfig object For voip consultations the data will include the voipConfig object For video consultations the data will include the videoConfig object

Config Struct

struct ChatConfig {
  id: Int?
  consultationId: Int?
  groupId: String?
  chatUserId: String?
  appId: String?
  chatUserToken: String?
}

# For Both, voipConfig and videoConfig
struct VoipConfig {
  id: Int?
  consultationId: Int?
  apiKey: String?
  callId: String?
  token: String?
}
