Create Action Dispatcher

1. In the navigation, click on “Create AD”:

You will see an already prefilled Action Dispatcher, called “ProBinder”:

2. Cleanup the editor:

• Remove the entire code from the editor.
• Also remove the prefilled user-specific properties username and password on the right-hand side of the editor, by clicking the red crosses.
• Now type your own Module Name: Logging, instead of ProBinder. For your “Hello World” example you will log a text as a result of an event.

3. Enter Action Dispatcher Module Code that allows you to log things:

exports.writeLog = ( msg ) ->
    log msg

4. Click “save” to store your first Action Dispatcher

The system will respond with the message Module Logger successfully stored! Found following function(s): writeLog:

-> Congratulations you stored your first Action Dispatcher!

By the way, what does the Action Dispatcher’s module code mean:

• The module provides one choosable action which is called writeLog. In a Rule it will be called Logger -> writeLog. This is achieved by attaching the function writeLog to the system internal exports object.
• The action writeLog will receive one argument which we call msg in the scope of the writeLog function.
• Whenever the action writeLog is executed, it will use the system function log to create a log entry of the retrieved argument msg, which should be a message in string form.
