Seshat
Seshat is a database and indexer for Matrix events.
Its main use is to be used as a full text search backend for Matrix clients.
JavaScript bindings
Seshat provides JavaScript bindings which can be found in the seshat-node subdir.
Usage
There are two modes of operation for Seshat, adding live events as they come in:
use ;
use tempdir;
let tmpdir = tempdir.unwrap;
let mut db = new.unwrap;
/// Method to call for every live event that gets received during a sync.
/// Method to call on every successful sync after live events were added.
The other mode is to add events from the room history using the
/room/{room_id}/messages
Matrix API endpoint. This method supports
storing checkpoints which remember the arguments to continue fetching events
from the /room/{room_id}/messages
API:
database.add_historic_events(events, old_checkpoint, new_checkpoint)?;
Once events have been added a search can be done:
let result = database.search("test", &SearchConfig::new()).unwrap();
