SIP.Subscription

SIP.Subscription represents a subscription to an event (presence or dialog, for example) of a sip address using the SIP SUBSCRIBE request. Currently, only outgoing subscriptions are available, so incoming SUBSCRIBEs will be ignored.

Construction

The Subscription constructor is intended for internal use only. Subscriptions are obtained via the SIP.UA subscribe method.

Examples

//Subscribes to the presence information of alice@example.com
var subscription = myUA.subscribe('alice@example.com', 'presence');

// Once subscribed, receive notifications and print out the presence information
subscription.on('notify', function (notification) {
  console.log(notification.request.body);
});

Instance Variables

SIP.Subscription inherits some of its instance attributes from SIP.ClientContext.

id

String - Once the subscription is confirmed, this string is used to differentiate between subscriptions.

state

String - String indicating the current state of the subscription.

event

String - The event that will be subscribed to.

dialog

SIP.Dialog - The SIP dialog associated with the particular Subscription

timers

Object - Keeps track of the two timers associated with this subscription, which are RFC6665-defined TIMER_N and a subscription duration timer.

errorCodes

Array of type Number - The SIP response codes, defined by RFC 6665, for which a subscription must be considered terminated if they are received.

ua

SIP.UA - Inherited from SIP.ClientContext or SIP.ServerContext.

method

String - The value of method is always "INVITE". Inherited from SIP.ClientContext or SIP.ServerContext.

request

SIP.IncomingRequest or SIP.OutgoingRequest - Inherited from SIP.ClientContext or SIP.ServerContext.

localIdentity

SIP.NameAddrHeader - Inherited from SIP.ClientContext or SIP.ServerContext.

remoteIdentity

SIP.NameAddrHeader - Inherited from SIP.ClientContext or SIP.ServerContext.

data

Object - Empty object for application to define custom data. Inherited from SIP.ClientContext or SIP.ServerContext.

Instance Methods

subscribe()

Sends a SUBSCRIBE request and sets TIMER_N. This is used for the initial SUBSCRIBE as well as all resubscription requests.

Returns

Type	Description
SIP.Subscription	This Subscription

unsubscribe()

Sends an unsubscribe request, which is a SUBSCRIBE request with an expires header with value 0.

close()

Unsubscribes this subscription, terminates its dialog, and removes it from the UA’s array of subscriptions. This should be used to gracefully remove a Subscription.

Events

SIP.Subscription inherits events from SIP.ClientContext. Each event allows a callback function to be defined in order to let the user execute a handler for each given stimulus.

notify

Whenever a NOTIFY request is received, this event is emitted with the full request.

on('notify', function(request) {})

Name	Type	Description
request	SIP.IncomingRequest	The received NOTIFY request.
