Custom Integration

Learn how to build custom integrations with ChatMaven. This guide covers advanced integration scenarios, custom implementations, and best practices for extending ChatMaven's functionality.

Overview​

Integration Types​

  1. Custom Platforms

    • Proprietary systems
    • Legacy applications
    • Custom frameworks
    • Internal tools

  2. Data Sources

    • Custom databases
    • Internal APIs
    • Third-party services
    • Data streams

  3. User Interfaces

    • Custom widgets
    • Embedded views
    • Native applications
    • Voice interfaces

Building Custom Integrations​

Architecture​

  1. Components

    // Example integration structure
    class CustomIntegration {
      constructor(config) {
        this.api = new ChatMavenAPI(config);
        this.events = new EventHandler();
        this.store = new DataStore();
      }
    }

  2. Event System

    // Custom event handling
    class EventHandler {
      subscribe(event, callback) {
        this.events[event] = callback;
      }
      
      emit(event, data) {
        if (this.events[event]) {
          this.events[event](data);
        }
      }
    }

  3. Data Management

    // Custom data store
    class DataStore {
      async sync() {
        const data = await this.api.fetch();
        this.store.update(data);
      }
      
      async push(changes) {
        await this.api.update(changes);
        this.store.commit(changes);
      }
    }

Implementation Guide​

Setup​

  1. Initialize SDK

    const chatmaven = new ChatMaven({
      apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
      customConfig: {
        endpoint: 'https://your-api.com',
        version: 'v2',
        timeout: 5000
      }
    });

  2. Configure Handlers

    chatmaven.on('custom:event', async (data) => {
      // Handle custom event
      await processCustomEvent(data);
    });

    chatmaven.interceptors.add((request) => {
      // Modify requests
      request.headers['Custom-Header'] = 'value';
      return request;
    });

Custom Features​

Data Synchronization​

class DataSync {
  constructor(config) {
    this.interval = config.interval || 5000;
    this.lastSync = null;
  }
  
  async start() {
    while (true) {
      await this.sync();
      await sleep(this.interval);
    }
  }
  
  async sync() {
    const changes = await this.getChanges();
    await this.pushChanges(changes);
    this.lastSync = Date.now();
  }
}

Custom UI Components​

class CustomWidget extends ChatMavenWidget {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.customState = {};
  }
  
  render() {
    return `
      <div class="custom-widget">
        ${this.renderCustomElements()}
        ${super.render()}
      </div>
    `;
  }
  
  renderCustomElements() {
    // Add custom UI elements
  }
}

Advanced Features​

Custom Authentication​

class CustomAuth {
  async authenticate() {
    const token = await this.getCustomToken();
    return {
      type: 'custom',
      token: token,
      expires: Date.now() + 3600000
    };
  }
  
  async refresh() {
    // Implement token refresh
  }
}

Data Transformation​

class DataTransformer {
  transform(data) {
    return {
      id: data.custom_id,
      content: this.processContent(data.body),
      metadata: this.extractMetadata(data),
      timestamp: new Date(data.created_at)
    };
  }
  
  processContent(content) {
    // Custom content processing
  }
  
  extractMetadata(data) {
    // Custom metadata extraction
  }
}

Best Practices​

Error Handling​

class ErrorHandler {
  handle(error) {
    if (error.type === 'custom') {
      // Handle custom errors
      this.handleCustomError(error);
    } else {
      // Forward to default handler
      super.handle(error);
    }
  }
  
  handleCustomError(error) {
    // Custom error handling logic
  }
}

Performance Optimization​

  1. Caching

    class CustomCache {
      async get(key) {
        // Check custom cache
        return this.cache.get(key);
      }
      
      async set(key, value, ttl) {
        // Set with custom TTL
        await this.cache.set(key, value, ttl);
      }
    }

  2. Rate Limiting

    class RateLimiter {
      async checkLimit(key) {
        const current = await this.getCount(key);
        if (current > this.limit) {
          throw new Error('Rate limit exceeded');
        }
        await this.increment(key);
      }
    }

Testing​

Unit Tests​

describe('CustomIntegration', () => {
  it('should handle custom events', async () => {
    const integration = new CustomIntegration();
    const result = await integration.handleEvent({
      type: 'custom',
      data: {}
    });
    expect(result).toBeDefined();
  });
});

Integration Tests​

describe('E2E Tests', () => {
  it('should complete full workflow', async () => {
    const client = new CustomClient();
    await client.connect();
    await client.sendCustomData();
    const response = await client.waitForResponse();
    expect(response.status).toBe('success');
  });
});

Deployment​

Configuration​

const config = {
  environment: process.env.NODE_ENV,
  customEndpoint: process.env.CUSTOM_ENDPOINT,
  apiKey: process.env.API_KEY,
  options: {
    timeout: 5000,
    retries: 3,
    customFlags: {
      feature1: true,
      feature2: false
    }
  }
};

Monitoring​

class CustomMonitor {
  track(event) {
    // Track custom metrics
    this.metrics.increment(`custom.${event.type}`);
    this.logger.log('custom_event', event);
  }
  
  alert(condition) {
    // Custom alerting logic
    if (this.shouldAlert(condition)) {
      this.notifications.send('alert', condition);
    }
  }
}
