The syncinfo query returns the following information about the last Pulsar sync:

• Last Sync Attempt Date/Time
• Last Successful Sync Date/Time

var request = { 
	"type" : "syncinfo",
	"data" : { } // empty object- this is required in the current API
};

bridge.sendRequest(request, function (results) {
	console.log('Javascript got its response: ' + str(results));
    if (results.type === "syncinfoResponse")	{
		var lastsyncattempt = results.data.lastsyncattempt;
        var lastsuccessfulsync = results.data.lastsuccessfulsync;
    } else if (results.type == 'error') {
	    errStr = results.data;
	    alert('A problem occurred:\n' + errStr);
    }
});    

The syncdata request will attempt to initiate a Pulsar sync action. This method is equivalent to pressing the "Sync now" button from the native Pulsar home screen. 

var request = { 
	"type" : "syncdata",
	"data" : { } // empty object- this is required in the current API
};

bridge.sendRequest(request, function (results) {
	console.log('Javascript got its response: ' + str(results));
	if (results.type === "syncDataResponse")	{
		// successfully requested sync
	} else if (results.type == 'error') {
		 errStr = results.data;
		 alert('A problem occurred:\n' + errStr);
	}
});

The Pulsar sync process provides a feedback mechanism for monitoring the overall progress of the sync. You can hook into progress and completion notifications from javascript by registering handler functions with the Pulsar bridge. There can only be one handler assigned to a given handler name. See the examples of handler setup below:

......
// during bridge initialization
bridge.addHandler = function(handlerName, handler) {
	window.WebViewJavascriptBridge.registerHandler(handlerName, handler);
};
bridge.removeHandler = function(handlerName) {
    window.WebViewJavascriptBridge.deregisterHandler(handlerName);
};
......

// Add a handler
bridge.addHandler("handlerA", function(data) { console.log("handlerA called from Pulsar"); });

doSomethingThatMakesPulsarCallHandlerA();

// Remove a handler
bridge.removeHandler("handlerA");

The interruptsync request will attempt to stop the currently running sync, if any.

var request = { 
	"type" : "interruptsync",
	"data" : { } // empty object- this is required in the current API
};
bridge.sendRequest(request, function(responseData) {
    if (responseData.type === "interruptSyncResponse") {
        console.log('interruptSync: ' + str(responseData.data));
        success(var syncSuccess = responseData.data).success;
    } else if (responseData.type == 'error') {
        var errStr = str(responseData.data);
        console.log('A problem occurred:\n' + errStr);
    }
});
