Creating or removing Interactions can now be done outside the CMS via the BMP CLI.
Create interaction
Code Block |
---|
|
blinkm bmp create interaction <name> --type<type> --remote |
...
Info |
---|
|
Created Interactions will not appear on the BMP until deployed,except for --remote which will add a place holder on the BMP |
Create interaction Examples
Here is an example of the BMP CLI workflow on a sample answerSpace called "myanswerSpace"

First we will
...
pull the empty answerSpace down from the BMP.
Code Block |
---|
|
blinkm bmp pull |

Here is the view from the BMP CMS,
...
no interactions are yet created.

Now we are ready to start creating interactions.
Code Block |
---|
|
blinkm bmp create interaction default |
Once the interaction has been created you will notice the newly created files in your local project.

Info |
---|
As the interaction type was left blank, The the interaction "default" was create as a madl type |
Lets now create a "message" interaction using the – type option
Code Block |
---|
|
blinkm bmp create interaction message --type message |

Now lets create an interaction using the --remote option
Code Block |
---|
|
blinkm bmp create interaction myinteraction --remote |
Once the interaction has been created you will notice the newly created files in your local project.

Info |
---|
|
Note because we used --remote an empty interaction place holder now shows in the BMP CMS. This method is ideal when wanting to reserve a unique name when developers are using both CMS and CLI at the same time. |

Lets now deploy the interactions to the BMP
Code Block |
---|
|
blinkm bmp deploy |

Editing interaction files
In every interaction directory is a file called <interaction name>.json
This file containing most contains most of your interactions settings.
