Re: Code example of Stream/External Object Integration
Not sure who is on the project team that delivered that specific solution, but let me loop in Austen Rustrum Lev Waisberg and/or Sagi Eliyahu to see if we can get more clarity. Also, Mor Avital might be worth the pinging as well.

I don't think we have specific code examples for how the Gdoc was done. However, we do have documentation on both Jive Anywhere (Jive Anywhere v2.2 SDK) and the External Storage Framework (External Storage Framework - Documentation) that you can review for additional code examples.

Re: Code example of Stream/External Object Integration
At a high-level, the documents being stored and indexed locally were a functional of the ESF provider. That is standard behavior in the binary exchange. Before (or rather in parallel) the file is transmitted to the external provider, the storage framework indexes the textual content and links it to the entity such that it is discoverable in native Jive search results. If you want, you can get a basic example running using our Getting Started with the Jive Node SDK and
jive-sdk create example-filestorage
Hope this points you in in the right direction. =)

Re: Code example of Stream/External Object Integration
Thanks, Ryan Rutan, this definitely got me started. I have the ESF example running locally and can Upload Files to it as if the binary was stored within Jive.
My intention is to create something that acts as a custom content type where file data lives on a 3rd party system. Do you have any advice on how I might approach this goal? Is a pseudo-content type a goal that can be achieved using the Jive SDK? (I would like it to appear alongside Documents, Discussions, etc. with its own type icon, be searchable/streamable, and its binary data hosted by a 3rd party.)

Re: Code example of Stream/External Object Integration
We plan to cover this example in our Developer Webinar at the end of September. You can check out the TODO example:
to see how to get this started. But in essence, you can create an experience that delegates the content-type implementation to an external system...and thread it into Jive. Hope that helps you get started, but should have more on this example soon. =)
