Crate ruma_client

Crate ruma_client is a Matrix client library.

Usage

Begin by creating a Client type, usually using the https method for a client that supports secure connections, and then logging in:

#![feature(async_await)]
use ruma_client::Client;

let work = async {
    let homeserver_url = "https://example.com".parse().unwrap();
    let client = Client::https(homeserver_url, None).unwrap();

    let session = client
        .log_in("@alice:example.com".to_string(), "secret".to_string(), None)
        .await?;

    // You're now logged in! Write the session to a file if you want to restore it later.
    // Then start using the API!
};

// Start `work` on a futures runtime...

You can also pass an existing session to the Client constructor to restore a previous session rather than calling log_in.

For the standard use case of synchronizing with the homeserver (i.e. getting all the latest events), use the Client::sync:

let mut sync_stream = Box::pin(client.sync(None, None, true));
while let Some(response) = sync_stream.try_next().await? {
    // Do something with the data in the response...
}

The Client type also provides methods for registering a new account if you don't already have one with the given homeserver.

Beyond these basic convenience methods, ruma-client gives you access to the entire Matrix client-server API via the api module. Each leaf module under this tree of modules contains the necessary types for one API endpoint. Simply call the module's call method, passing it the logged in Client and the relevant Request type. call will return a future that will resolve to the relevant Response type.

For example:

use std::convert::TryFrom;

use ruma_client::api::r0::alias::get_alias;
use ruma_identifiers::{RoomAliasId, RoomId};

async {
    let response = client
        .request(get_alias::Request {
            room_alias: RoomAliasId::try_from("#example_room:example.com").unwrap(),
        })
        .await?;

    assert_eq!(response.room_id, RoomId::try_from("!n8f893n9:example.com").unwrap());
}
