Susi-Chromebot is one the Susi enabled Chrome extensions with  Susi-Ai enabled.
People can message and susi responds with a response from Susi-Skill in [skills.susi.ai](https://skills.susi.ai/)

### Bug Fixes
It fixes this [issue](https://github.com/fossasia/susi_chromebot/issues/165)
## Description
There was no sync between messages sent via chromebot and  other clients of Susi.
For eg. If a user  has a chat history in Susi Mobile app, the chat history should also be present in chromebot.
 
- What was the solution?
* Take the old history from susi api endpoint `https://api.susi.ai/susi/memory.json?access_token=${accessToken}`; 
(Yes, I know ES6)
* put the messages in correct Syncing order with the message chat box.

* Make sure the new messages are sent back to server. 
# Describe briefly how you fixed the issue(s).
* Do the Above mentioned Steps .But, In ES6 
I had alot of trouble, as the initial code was `Not that good`.
### New Features
* Restore messages from chrome storage (New  + Old)
- How did you implement it/them?
by using `brain.exe` And some Bad Bad implementation of code
> function retrieveChatHistory() {
     var serverHistoryEndpoint = BASE_URL + "/susi/memory.json?access_token=" + accessToken;
    $.ajax({
         url: serverHistoryEndpoint,
        dataType: "jsonp",
         jsonpCallback: "u",
         jsonp: "callback",
         crossDomain: "true",
         success: function(response) {
             var messages = [];
             for (var i = response.cognitions.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
                 var queryAnswerPair = response.cognitions[i];
                 var queryTimes = new Date(Date.parse(queryAnswerPair.query_date));
                 var answerTimes = new Date(Date.parse(queryAnswerPair.answer_date));
                 var queryInside = queryAnswerPair.query;
                 var answerInside = queryAnswerPair;
                 var msgObj = {
                     query: queryInside,
                     answer: answerInside,
                     queryTime: queryTimes,
                     answerTime: answerTimes
                 }
                 messages.push(msgObj);
                 localStorage.setItem("messages", JSON.stringify(messages));
             }
         }
     });
 > }
- Roadmap
Adding a timestamp with the messages as it currently only fetches the current time.
