caridina v0.11.0
caridina 🦐
A Matrix client library written in Crystal.
It is also a species of shrimp, one of them being named "crystal red". Crystal for the language, red for the Matrix's red pill.
Installation
-
Add the dependency to your
shard.yml
:dependencies: caridina: github: erdnaxeli/caridina
-
Run
shards install
Usage
The API documentation is available here.
Connecting
Create a new connection object:
require "caridina"
conn = Caridina::Connection.new(
"https://my-favorite-hs.example.org",
"my access token",
)
You can also login to get a new access token:
access_token = Caridina::Connection.login(
"https://my-favorite-hs.example.org",
"@mybotuserid:my-favorite-hs.example.org",
"my secret password",
)
Sync
Now we can create a new channel, and tell the connection object to start syncing. The sync responses will be streamed in the channel.
matrix = Channel(Caridina::Responses::Sync).new
conn.sync(matrix)
sync = matrix.receive
You have now a sync response.
If you don't want to go through the whole sync response by yourself (which is understandable), we provide you a Caridina::Syncer object.
require "caridina/syncer"
syncer = Caridina::Syncer.new
syncer.on(Caridina::Events::Message) do |event|
event = event.as(Caridina::Events::Message)
# TODO: actually do something
end
syncer.process_response(sync)
⚠️ The syncer is a new feature still in development. It currently only supports events in the joined rooms timeline. To access to other events, you need to go through the sync response.
Read event
The events in the sync response are all Caridina::Events::Event
objects. You need to restrict the type of an event object to access all its fields.
sync.rooms.try &.join.each do |room_id, room|
room.timeline.events.each do |event|
case event
when Caridina::Events::Member
# someone's membership changed
when Caridina::Events::PowerLevels
# some authorization changed
when Caridina::Events::Message
# someone talked
else
# unknown event
end
end
end
Sometimes the event's content can be polymorphic too. That is especially the case for message events. By using again a case
clause to event.content
you can restrict its type to access all its fields.
Send events
There is not a single method to send an event. Instead this library provides a set of methods that correspond to different actions you may want to do. You usually do not need to worry about crafting the event to send.
⚠️ This part is in a early stage. Only a few methods are currently provided.
# join a room
conn.join("!room_id:matrix.org")
# send a message
event_id = conn.send_message("!room_id:matrix.org", "Hello, world!")
# edit a message
conn.edit_message("!room_id:matrix.org", event_id, "Hello, world!")
# send a read receipt
conn.send_receipt("!room_id:matrix.org", "$event_id:matrix.org")
# Use the typing notification as a loader
conn.typing("!room_id:matrix.org") do
# Do some processing.
# While we are in the block, a typing notification will be shown on the given
# room.
conn.send_message("!room_id:matrix.org", "All done!")
end
Development
