#Backbone
Backbone is the Zentext API. This API will allow web apps to send messages over text or email. Future versions will allow video conferencing.
##Sending Messages
You can send a message by calling zentext.send(a, b, c);.
a is the content (in HTML or Text form).
b is the address to send to.
c is the type of message you are sending. Accepted types are email and mobile.
Note: Not all messaging methods support HTML, on those that do not, Zentext will automatically convert it to Plain Text.
##Getting the results of an operation
You can get an operation's results by doing foo = zentext.results(a);.
a tells Zentext how to format the result list. Current values are plain, array and html.
Note: If you do not specify a format, Zentext will return results in a Plain Text format.
##Checking the type of an address
You can find out what kind of address a user has entered by doing foo = Zentext.checkType();.
Zentext will return the string 'mobile' if it is a telephone number or 'email' if it is an email.
##Testing These are the required steps to test out the app:
-
download the latest python 2.7.x release
-
download the Google App Engine SDK for python for your operating system
-
for the email functionality:
- sign up for manrill
- create a new api key
- paste the key into a file in the root directory of the repo called key.txt
