The Tools API provides a simple way for extensions to be notified when a Crossfire client or server connects to another host, and allows extensions to use this connection to send and receive custom requests and events over the Crossfire connection.

== Using the Crossfire Tools API ==
+
-
 
+
-
In order to use the Tools API, you need to implement a listener object for your tool, and register it with Crossfire.
+
-
 
+
-
=== Creating a Tool listener ===
+
-
 
+
-
A Tool listener is a Javascript object that should contain a string property, <code>toolName</code>, and implements the following functions:
+
-
<syntaxHighlight lang="javascript">
+
-
handleEvent: function( event) {}         
+
-
 
+
-
handleRequest: function( request) {}           
+
-
 
+
-
handleResponse: function( response) {}
+
-
 
+
-
onTransportCreated: function( transport) {}           
+
-
 
+
-
onTransportDestroyed: function() {}           
+
-
 
+
-
onRegistered: function() {           
+
-
 
+
-
onUnregistered: function() {}           
+
-
 
+
-
onConnectionStatusChanged: function( status) {}           
+
-
</syntaxHighlight>
+
-
 
+
-
=== Specifying Events and Commands for your tool ===
+
-
 
+
-
The simplest way to specify which commands and events your listener supports is to list the names in an array.  Crossfire will check for a <code>commands</code> and an <code>events</code> array as properties of your listener.
+
-
 
+
-
Alternatively, your listener can optionally implement the <code>supportsRequest()</code> and/or <code>supportsEvent()</code> methods.
+
-
 
+
-
=== Registering a Tool Listener ===
+
-
 
+
-
In order for your listener to start receiving callbacks and events/requests, you must register it with the Crossfire module.  This is accomplished by calling the registerTool method:
+
-
 
+
-
<syntaxHighlight lang="javascript">
+
-
CrossfireModule.registerTool( toolName, toolListener);
+
-
</syntaxHighlight>
+
-
 
+
-
If you wish to stop receiving events, you call the unregisterTool method:
+
-
 
+
-
<syntaxHighlight lang="javascript">
+
-
CrossfireModule.unregisterTool( toolName);
+
-
</syntaxHighlight>
+
-
 
+
-
The <code>toolName</code> argument should be a string that matches a property named <code>toolName</code> in your listener object.  Crossfire will add this string as a header to packets sent to your listener, in order to route packets appropriately to various tools.
+

+

==== Connection Status ====
+
-
 
+
-
==== sendEvent ====
+
-
 
+
-
==== sendResponse ====
+
-
 
+
-
== Handshake ==
+
-
 
+
-
The Crossfire client may send a comma-separated list of tools to be activated immediately following the handshake string, followed by "\r\n"
+
-
 
+
-
A Crossfire server should send a comma-separated list of available tools immediately after the handshake string, followed by "\r\n"
+
-
 
+
-
Example:
+
-
    CrossfireHandshake
+
-
    \r\n
+
-
    console,inspector,net
+
-
    \r\n
+
-
 
+
-
== Tool Headers ==
+
-
 
+
-
Packets which contain a command that is intended for a specific tool should include a "tool:" header with the intended tool's name.
+
-
 
+
-
Example:
+
-
 
+
-
== Examples ==
+
-
=== Console Tool ===
+
-
 
+
-
=== DOM Tool ===
+
-
 
+
-
=== Inspector Tool ===
+
-
 
+
-
=== Net Tool ===
