Reopened to consider merged options parameter.
Comment from Deryk: If BridgeIt provides a general services platform, all services should be accessible in a uniform way. For instance, a single API key should be provided only once for both the push service, location service, and echo service.
Instead of usePushService(), an extension would be useService("http://bridgeit.mobi","push","echo") which would dynamically download the required APIs and inject them under the bridgeit.* namespace using the first argument as the base service URL. The API key could be set in a separate call bridgeit.authorize(apikey).
Note that this requires the dependent services to be BridgeIt-aware to add their APIs under bridgeit. (icepush.js could detect window.bridgeit and add the required functions.)
Created issue PUSH-285 to define the merging of the 'options' parameter task.
There are two forms of the API to load services:
bridgeit.useService("http://api.bridgeit.mobi/","push","echo")
Services at different base URLs can be specified with multiple invocations of useService().
If the version of the service needs to be specified, the service can be registered in detail:
bridgeit.useService("http://api.bridgeit.mobi/","push",
{name: "echo", version: "2"})
Each service must have a script file stored at a well-known location, for instance:
http://api.bridgeit.mobi/echo/echo.js
The script echo.js will then add its API to the bridgeit object.
Initial integration is implemented.
Currently two configuration lines are necessary to initiate ICEpush as a service
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://labs.icesoft.com/push/code.icepush"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
ice.push.configuration.contextPath = "http://labs.icesoft.com/push/";
</script>
This can be reduced to a single bridgeit configuration of "http://labs.icesoft.com/push/".
