Canned Replies Library

A library that handles replying to messages received from Gadgetbridge/Messages apps.

Replying to a message

The user can define a set of canned responses via the customise page after installing the app, or alternatively if they have a keyboard installed, they can type a response back. The requesting app will receive either an object containing the full reply for GadgetBridge, or a string with the response from the user, depending on how they wish to handle the response.

Integrating in your app

To use this in your app, simply call

require("reply").reply(/*options*/{...}).then(result => ...);

The options object can contain the following:

• msg: A message object containing a field id, the ID to respond to. If this is included in options, the result of the promise will be an object as follows: {t: "notify", id: msg.id, n: "REPLY", msg: "USER REPLY"}. If not included, the result of the promise will be an object, {msg: "USER REPLY"}
• shouldReply: Whether or not the library should send the response over Bluetooth with Bluetooth.println(.... Useful if the calling app wants to handle the response a different way. Default is true.
• title: The title to show at the top of the menu. Defaults to "Reply with:".
• fileOverride: An override file to read canned responses from, which is an array of objects each with a text property. Default is replies.json. Useful for apps which might want to make use of custom canned responses.
