Open Beta Documentation Amazon offers this technical
documentation as part of a pre-release, open beta. The features described might change as Amazon receives feedback
and iterates on the features. For the most current feature information, see the latest Release
Notes.
Tell the system to execute your task's entry points. Create or update a task.js file in the package.json path location with the following content.
import { HeadlessEntryPointRegistry } from "@amazon-devices/headless-task-manager";
import { default as doOnInstallOrUpdateTask } from "./src/OnInstallOrUpdateTask"
import { default as doEpgSyncTask } from "./src/EpgSyncTask"
// Register your EPG Sync function by setting the value of 'doTask'
HeadlessEntryPointRegistry.registerHeadlessEntryPoint("<packageId>.epgSyncTask::doTask",
() => doEpgSyncTask);
// If you created a new task in Step 6, register it here as well
HeadlessEntryPointRegistry.registerHeadlessEntryPoint("<packageId>.onInstallOrUpdateTask::doTask",
() => doOnInstallOrUpdateTask);
Note: Define the headless task entry point as shown in the next code snippet. You can choose the task name, such as
epgSyncTask, and function name, such as doEpgSyncTask, based on your app's design. But it is essential to adhere to the pattern and use doTask as generated by the React Native for Vega template. The componentID + ::doTask is the task key and must be used as is.
HeadlessEntryPointRegistry.registerHeadlessEntryPoint("<packageId>.epgSyncTask::doTask",
() => doEpgSyncTask);
