Extend chcp.fetchUpdate method to accept config-url and additional http headers

[nikDemyankov]

Right now chcp.fecthUpdate method can accept only callback method. It would be nice to be able to pass additional data to it. For example:

var options = {
  'config-file': 'https://mydomain.com/chcp.json',
  'request-headers': {
    'foo': 'bar'
  }
};

chcp.fetchUpdate(function (error, data) {
}, options);

where:

• config-file - url of the chcp.json config on the server. Right now you need to use chcp.configure() to set it before fetching the update. If implemented - we don't need to do this anymore.
• request-headers - additional http headers, that we can set from JS side. For example, auth headers.

If you are native developer and want to use an embedded web views - you can define fetch update preferences from the native side. For that you need to obtain the instance of the plugin, that is initialised for your web view - and set default fetch update options property as described below.

iOS:

NSURL *chcpJsonfileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://somedomain.com/path/chcp.json"];
NSDictionary<NSString *, NSString *> *requestHeaders = @{@"foo": @"bar"};

HCPFetchUpdateOptions *options = [[HCPFetchUpdateOptions alloc] initWithConfigURL:chcpJsonFileURL requestHeaders:requestHeaders];
chcpPluginInstance.defaultFetchUpdateOptions = options;

Android:

final String chcpJsonFileURL = "http://somedomain.com/path/chcp.json";
final Map<String, String> requestHeaders = new HashMap<String, String>();
requestHeaders.put("foo", "bar");
final FetchUpdateOptions options = new FetchUpdateOptions(chcpJsonFileURL, requestHeaders);

chcpPluginInstance.setDefaultFetchUpdateOptions(options);

We need a way to set preferences via native side: e31be1d#commitcomment-17418537

Tried it today with the current repo version like

    function loadUpdate() {
        chcp.fetchUpdate(function (error, data) {
            if (error) {
                console.error('updateService: Failed to load the update', error);
            } else {
                console.log('updateService: loaded new update', data);
            }
        }, {Authorization: 'Basic ' + btoa('user:password')});
    }

Got the error -1. But maybe it's not fully finished or did i do something wrong?

You are using it wrong. Headers should be putted in request-headers property as described in the first post. In your case it will be:

function loadUpdate() {
  var options = {
    'request-headers': {
      'Authorization': 'Basic ' + btoa('user:password')
    }
  };
  chcp.fetchUpdate(function (error, data) {
    if (error) {
      console.error('updateService: Failed to load the update', error);
    } else {
      console.log('updateService: loaded new update', data);
    }
  }, options});
}

And it's only for iOS. Android is not yet implemented.

Oh sorry, I must have overseen this. Thank you very much, mr King!
It works perfectly!

Am I able to include additional headers for automatic updates etc? Is there any more info (docs) on this?
Also Android version?
