Getting Started¶

Installation¶

Bebo SDK is a JavaScript library that enables deep functionality into the Bebo app. It allows you to create feature-rich rooms that can be added to your group. This allows you to create any room for you and your group.

Add Bebo SDK to your project — paste this snippet immediately after the <body> tag in your index.html:

<script>
  (function(_b,e,b,o){_b.Bebo={b:[],onReady:function(cb){this.b.push(cb)}}
    var s=e.createElement(b);s.type='text/javascript';s.async=1;s.src=o;
    var x=e.getElementsByTagName(b)[0];x.parentNode.insertBefore(s,x);})
  (window,document,'script','https://widgets.bebo.com/bebo.min.js');
</script>

Usage¶

The onReady method is called when Bebo SDK has been loaded and initialized. This is very similar to the way the jQuery .ready() function works. The onReady() function is typically used with an anonymous function:

Bebo.onReady(function(){
    // Bebo is initialized
});

Important

the onReady function is required for all other functions to work.

Add Bebo SDK to a new or existing project¶

Join the Bebo Hackers group on Bebo (access code: wneseg). Ask @furqan to provision you a new room. This will create a GitHub repo at https://github.com/bebo-rooms/<room-name>
$ git clone git@github.com:bebo-rooms/<room-name>.git to clone the ‘room-name’ room to your local machine
$ mv chat <some-new-name> to rename the repo to your idea’s name
Follow its README.md instructions. They will look like npm setup npm install etc.
Verify it’s up at username.github.io/projectname
Open Bebo on your phone > tap Group Settings > find your room > tap Add Room
