elixir_mod_event

Elixir client for the FreeSWITCH mod_event_socket.

Using it with Mix

To use it in your Mix projects, first add it as a dependency:

def deps do
  [{:elixir_mod_event, "~> 0.0.6"}]
end

Then run mix deps.get to install it.

Documentation

Feel free to take a look at the documentation served by hex.pm or the source itself to find more.

Inbound Mode (TCP connection)

Starting a TCP connection

To connect to FreeSWITCH just start a Connection, which is just a GenServer that you can plug into your own supervisor tree.

> alias FSModEvent.Connection, as: C
> C.start :connection_name, fs_host, fs_port, fs_password
{:ok, #PID<0.158.0>}

You can also start and link the connection:

> C.start :connection_name, fs_host, fs_port, fs_password
{:ok, #PID<0.159.0>}

Results

When executing a command (either in foreground or background) or receiving events, the result will be a Packet, with a structure with some fields of interest:

success: Boolean. When executing foreground commands will be true if the command was executed successfuly.
type: String. The type of the packet (e.g: "text/event-plain", "command/reply", etc).
payload: Map or String. Depends on the type of the packet.
length: Payload length, useful when the payload is a string.
job_id: String. May contain a job id, related to a response or an event.
headers: Map. Packet headers.
custom_payload: String. May contain additional payload, depends on the packet and command sent/received.

Receiving events

To receive events register processes with a filter function like this:

> C.start_listening :fs1

The default filter function will let all events pass through to the process, but you can specify a custom filter function:

> C.start_listening :fs1, fn(pkt) -> pkt.payload["event-name"] === "HEARTBEAT" end

To unregister the listener process:

> C.stop_listening :fs1

NOTE: The caller process will be monitored and auto-unregister when the registered process dies.

Examples

api

Sends a command.

> C.api :fs1, "host_lookup", "google.com"
%FSModEvent.Packet{
  payload: &#39;173.194.42.78&#39;,
  ...
}

bgapi

Like api but runs the command without blocking the process. The calling process will receive a message with the result of the command. Be sure to subscribe to the BACKGROUND_JOB event.

> C.event :fs1, "BACKGROUND_JOB"
> C.bgapi :fs1, "md5", "some_data"
"b857e1dd-e4de-424e-9ff6-8e05e9a076d9"
> flush
{:fs_job_result, "b857e1dd-e4de-424e-9ff6-8e05e9a076d9", %FSModEvent.Packet{
  custom_payload: &#39;0d9247cbce34aba4aca8d5c887a0f0a4&#39;,
  ...
}}

Inbound Mode (Erlang node connection)

To "talk" to the FreeSWITCH erlang node, use the Erlang module:

> alias FSModEvent.Erlang, as: E
> node = :"freeswitch@host.local"

api

Sends a command.

> E.api node, "host_lookup", "google.com"
"173.194.42.82"

bgapi

Like api but runs the command without blocking the process. The caller process will receive a message with a tuple like this:

  {:fs_job_result, job_id, status, result}

Where:

  job_id :: String.t

  status :: :ok | :error

  result :: :timeout | String.t

> E.bgapi node, "md5", "some_data"
"4a41cfc1-d9b7-4966-95d0-5de5ec690a07"

> flush
{:fs_job_result, "4a41cfc1-d9b7-4966-95d0-5de5ec690a07", :ok,
 "0d9247cbce34aba4aca8d5c887a0f0a4"}

Configuration hooks

You can also configure FreeSWITCH by sending and receiving regular erlang messages by binding to the needed configuration sections. See XML Search Bindings.

The format and sections correspond to the ones supported by mod_xml_curl.

# Bind to the "directory" section
> E.config_bind node, "directory"

# Sample XML text
> xml = "<?xml version=&#39;1.0&#39; en ... "

# After a configuration message is received, a reply can be sent.
> receive do
    {:fetch, :directory, "domain", "name", domain_name, uuid, headers} ->
      E.config_reply node, uuid, xml
  after 10 -> :ok
  end
