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.

blinkm bmp pull

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

Now we are ready to start creating interactions.

blinkm bmp create interaction default

Once the interaction has been created you will notice the newly created files in your local project.

Lets now create a "message" interaction using the – type option

blinkm bmp create interaction message --type message

Now lets create an interaction using the --remote option

blinkm bmp create interaction myinteraction --remote

Once the interaction has been created you will notice the newly created files in your local project.

Lets now deploy the interactions to the BMP

blinkm bmp deploy

Editing interaction files

In every interaction directory is a file called <interaction name>.json 

This file contains most of your interactions settings.

{
  "allow_mobi": "yes",
  "config": {
    "all": {
      "type": "madl code"
    },
    "default": {
      "display": "hide",
      "displayName": "default",
      "madl": {
        "$file": "default.madl.php"
      }
    }
  },
  "id": "100654",
  "name": "default",
  "registered_only": "allow all",
  "restricted": "no",
  "status": "active",
  "tags": null
}

Many items within this file can be modified to change the interactions behaviour.
