Backendless JS-SDK Patch for Appcelerator

Patch includes:

How to use:

-|
 |-backendless.js
 |-backendless-appcelerator.js
  • include the patch to your code before using any Backendless API
//index.js file of your app
...

require('.../path-to/backendless-appcelerator')

Backendless.initApp(...)

...

Polyfill for Promise

The patch includes polyfill for Promise, so you can feel free to use it your code

Backendless namespace in global scope

The patch adds Backendless namespace in global scope, so be free to use Backendless without additional require Backendless JS-SDK, just require the patch at once in the top of your index file and use Backendless namespace in any files

Override Backendless.XmlHttpRequest

The patch override Backendless.XmlHttpRequest by Ti.Network.createHTTPClient. You don't need add this fix manually anymore.

before:

Backendless.XMLHttpRequest = function () {
  return Ti.Network.createHTTPClient();
};

after:

//do nothing

Correct File Upload

Appcelerator ENV has little differences with Web and Nodejs environments, so the patch fix it.

Examples:

function uploadTextFile() {
  var textFile = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.tempDirectory, 'my-text-file.txt');
  textFile.write('Hello world!');

  Backendless.Files.upload(textFile, 'text-files-directory', true)
    .then(function (result) {
      Ti.API.info('fileURL: ' + result.fileURL);
    })
    .catch(function (error) {
      Ti.API.error(error);
    });
}

function uploadImgFileFromPhotoGallery() {
  Titanium.Media.openPhotoGallery({
    success: function (event) {
      var imageFile = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.tempDirectory, 'my-image-file.png');
      imageFile.write(event.media.imageAsResized(100, 100));

      Backendless.Files.upload(imageFile, 'img-files-directory', true)
        .then(function (fileURL) {
          Ti.API.info('fileURL: ' + JSON.stringify(fileURL));
        })
        .catch(function (error) {
          Ti.API.error(error);
        });
    }
  });
}
