## Versioning
### Before Spec reaches 1.0
- `0.x.p`: where `x` relates to spec version and `p` relates to fixes.
### After Spec reaches 1.0
- `x.M.p`: where `x` relates to spec version, `M` relates to minor and `p` relates
to fixes. See [semver](https://semver.org/)

### Nodejs
```sh
npm install cloudevents-sdk

## How to use
The `Cloudevent` constructor arguments.
```js
/*
* spec : if is null, set the spec 0.1 impl
* format: if is null, set the JSON Format 0.1 impl
*/
Cloudevent(spec, format);
```
### Usage
```js
var Cloudevent = require("cloudevents-sdk");
/*
* Constructs a default instance with:
* - Spec 0.1
* - JSON Format 0.1
*/
var cloudevent01 = new Cloudevent();
/*
* Implemented using Builder Design Pattern
*/
cloudevent01
.type("com.github.pull.create")
.source("urn:event:from:myapi/resourse/123");
/*
* Backward compatibility to spec 0.1 by injecting methods from spec implementation
* to Cloudevent
*/
cloudevent01
.eventTypeVersion("1.0");
/*
* Constructs an instance with:
* - Spec 0.2
* - JSON Format 0.1
*/
var cloudevent02 = new Cloudevent(Cloudevent.specs["0.2"]);
/*
* Different specs, but the same API.
*/
cloudevent02
.type("com.github.pull.create")
.source("urn:event:from:myapi/resourse/123");
```
#### Formatting
```js
var Cloudevent = require("cloudevents-sdk");
/*
* Creates an instance with default spec and format
*/
var cloudevent =
new Cloudevent()
.type("com.github.pull.create")
.source("urn:event:from:myapi/resourse/123");
/*
* Format the payload and return it
*/
var formatted = cloudevent.format();
var ce =
```
#### Emitting
```js
var Cloudevent = require("cloudevents-sdk");
// The event
var cloudevent = new Cloudevent()
.type("com.github.pull.create")
.source("urn:event:from:myapi/resourse/123");
// The binding configuration using POST
var config = {
method: "POST",
url : "https://myserver.com"
};
/*
* To use HTTP Binary:
* Cloudevent.bindings["http-binary0.2"](config);
*/
// The binding instance
var binding = Cloudevent.bindings["http-structured0.1"](config);
// Emit the event using Promise
binding.emit(cloudevent)
.then(response => {
// Treat the response
console.log(response.data);
}).catch(err => {
// Deal with errors
console.error(err);
});
```
#### Receiving
```js
var Cloudevent = require("cloudevents-sdk");
// The binding configuration
var config = {
path : "/events",
port : 10300,
method : "POST"
};
// The binding instance
var binding = Cloudevent
.bindings["http-structured0.2"](config);
binding.receive()
.then(cloudevent => {
// do something with event
})
.catch(err => {
// deal with errors
console.error(err);
});
```

## Unit Testing
The unit test checks the result of formatted payload and the constraints.
```bash
npm test
```
## The API
### `Cloudevent` class
```js
/*
* Format the payload and return an Object.
*/
Object Cloudevent.format()
/*
* Format the payload as String.
*/
String Cloudevent.toString()
/*
* Create a Cloudevent instance from String.
*/
Cloudevent Cloudevent.fromString(String)
```
### `Formatter` classes
Every formatter class must implement these methods to work properly.
```js
/*
* Format the Cloudevent payload argument and return an Object.
*/
Object Formatter.format(Object)
/*
* Format the Cloudevent payload as String.
*/
String Formatter.toString(Object)
```
### `Parser` classes
Every formatter class must implement these methods to work properly.
```js
/*
* The default constructor with Spec as parameter
*/
Parser(Spec)
/*
* Try to parse the payload to some event format
*/
Object Parser.parse(payload)
```
### `Spec` classes
Every Spec class must implement these methods to work properly.
```js
/*
* The constructor must receives the Cloudevent type.
*/
Spec(Cloudevent)
/*
* Checks the spec constraints, throwing an error if do not pass.
* @throws Error when it is an invalid event
*/
Spec.check()
/*
* Checks if the argument pass through the spec constraints
* @throws Error when it is an invalid event
*/
Spec.check(Object)
```
### `Binding` classes
Every Binding class must implement these methods to work properly.
#### Emitter Binding
Following we have the signature for the binding to emit Cloudevents.
```js
/*
* The constructor must receives the map of configurations.
*/
Binding(config)
/*
* Emits the event using an instance of Cloudevent.
*/
Binding.emit(cloudevent)
/*
* Checks if some Object and a Map of attributes
* follows the binding definition. Throw an error if did not follow
*/
Binding.check(Object, Map)
```
#### Receiver Binding
Following we have the signature for the binding to receive Cloudevents.
```js
/*
* The constructor must receives the map of configurations.
*/
ReceiverBinding(config)
/*
* Receives the events and returns a Promise.
*/
ReceiverBinding.receive()
