Standard message config for In Out topics

Overview

All messages sent to MsgIn or MsgOut SNS queues have a hardcoded configuration, this is used by the Message Config Manager service which stores every MsgCfg for every service in the project, which can then be used for example by client that sets up user notifications, or Activity Switchboard service.

This configuration can also be used to validate messages being sent are formatted correctly.

MsgCfg syntax

{msgTag}: {
	properties:{
		{propertyName}:{
			required: true|false, //default: true
			stringified: true|false, //default: false
			isObject: true|false, //default: false, if is an object will look for child properties
			properties: // if is set to isObject: true, nest levels using properties
			activityTrigger: true|false, //default: false, whether can be used as a trigger in [[Service - Activity Switchboard|Activity Switchboard]] service
		},
		..
	}
	allowAdditionalProperties: true|false, //default: true, if false only the specified properties are allowed
}
