Client-side usage

, require('fh-wfm-message')
...
])

Integration

Angular Service

This module publishes and subscribes to sync

A sync manager must first be initialized using the messageSync.createManager(). This can be placed, for instance, in the resolve config of a ui-router controlled application.

resolve: {
  messageManager: function(messageSync) {
    return messageSync.createManager();
  }
}

For a more complete example, please check the demo portal app.
