Design Philosophy

To enable developers to use the SDK faster and more conveniently, WuKong SDK provides a single entry point to access all functionality in the SDK. Like a book’s table of contents, you can find corresponding content through the directory. For example, connecting to IM: WKIM.getInstance().getConnectionManager().connection()

​
Architecture Overview

SDK Architecture Common SDK functionality introduction: 
// Message Manager
// Responsible for message CRUD operations, new message listening, refresh message listening, 
// message storage, send message receipt listening, monitoring sync of specific chat data, etc.
WKIM.getInstance().getMsgManager()

// Connection Manager
// Responsible for IM connection, disconnection, logout, connection status monitoring, 
// connection IP monitoring, etc.
WKIM.getInstance().getConnectionManager()

// Channel Manager
// Can get Channel information, refresh Channel cache, monitor Channel changes 
// [pinning, do not disturb, muting], search Channels, etc.
WKIM.getInstance().getChannelManager()

// Conversation Manager
// Get recent chat records, refresh recent conversations [add chat, red dot changes], 
// monitor removal of conversations, monitor sync recent conversations, etc.
WKIM.getInstance().getConversationManager()

// Channel Members Manager
// Get Channel member list, set member notes, save and modify member data, 
// monitor refresh members and remove members, etc.
WKIM.getInstance().getChannelMembersManager()

// Reminder Manager
// Get conversation reminders like: [someone @me] [group join request], etc. 
// Also supports custom reminder items like voice unread, etc.
WKIM.getInstance().getReminderManager()

// CMD Manager
// Responsible for monitoring command messages sent from the server
WKIM.getInstance().getCMDManager()

// Robot Manager
// Can get robot menus, sync robot menus, query menus, etc.
WKIM.getInstance().getRobotManager()

SDK Integration with Apps

SDK Integration with Apps The SDK-APP interaction flow is: APP calls SDK provided methods, SDK processes data and callbacks data to APP through events. For example, message sending flow: APP calls send message method, SDK pushes the stored message to APP.
