titleEngine Compatibility

This library has not yet been completely ported to the Node pico engine. However, it supports attr(), attrs(), scheduled event functions and actions, and a different form of send(). Scheduled event functions and actions are now part of the schedule library.

send is asynchronous, supports attrs values of any type, and accepts an optional second parameter namedhost:

event:send({"eci":"cj3btnlyj0001y6idgl4api8f", "domain":"test", "type":"test", "attrs":{}})
event:send({"eci":"cj3btnlyj0001y6idgl4api8f", "eid":"test", "domain":"test", "type":"test"}, null)
event:send({"eci":"cj3btnlyj0001y6idgl4api8f", "eid":"test", "domain":"test", "type":"test"}, "http://localhost")
event:send({"eci":"cj3btnlyj0001y6idgl4api8f", "eid":"none", "domain":"test", "type":"test"}, host="https://localhost:8080")

If the eid is omitted (null) , or "none","null", or "", it will default to a random uuid.


The event library provides functions for understanding an event and the environment in which it was raised as well as actions access to event properties, a function for getting attribute values, and an action for sending events. Table of ContentsmaxLevel

event properties

The event library provides five properties:

event:domain

The value of this property is the domain which caused the rule to select.

event:name

The value of this property is the event type (or name) which caused this rule to select.

event:eid

The value of this property is the event identifier from the event to which this rule is reacting.

event:time

The value of this property is the time at which the event was received by the pico-engine.

event:attrs

The value of this property is a map of the attributes sent with the event to which this rule is reacting.

event function

event:attr

When this function is called with an attribute name, it returns the attribute value.

event action

event:send

As defined in the compatibility box above, this allows rules to send an event to another pico, whether on the same pico-engine or not.

From this point, this page describes older pico engines.

Event Functions

Event functions in the following categories are available:

...

  • event:attr() - returns a specific event attribute. The function takes the name of the attribute to be returned as its sole argument, and returns null if not found.
  • event:attrs () - returns all the event attributes as a map.
