Feature/allow custom endpoints
Summary
This PR:
- Refactors the hardcoded URLs in
lib/Transport.jsto a convict config - Adds functionality to overwrite these urls if needed (for example if you use a reverse-proxy)
Usage
If you are behind a proxy and need to use http instead of https you can
overwrite the default endpoints that Chatbase uses as follows:
var chatbase = require('@google/chatbase')
...
.setCreateEndpoint('http://custom-create-endpoint.com/api/message'); // default: https://chatbase-area120.appspot.com/api/message
.setCreateSetEndpoint('http://custom-create-set-endpoint.com/api/messages'); // default: https://chatbase-area120.appspot.com/api/messages
.setUpdateEndpoint('http://custom-update-endpoint.com/api/messages/update'); // default: https://chatbase-area120.appspot.com/api/message/update
Why
The current URLs are hardcoded in lib/transport.js and there is no easy way of changing them in the current node package, making it difficult to use Chatbase behind a proxy which doesn't allow, for example, https connections.
