# Matrix Client SDK for GLib

|
|
|
|
This is a [Matrix.org](http://matrix.org/) client-server SDK for
|
|
|
|
|
|
GLib >= 2.40. It contains both raw API calls and a signal based
|
|
|
|
|
|
asynchronous client. The API and ABI are both very volatile as of now;
|
|
|
|
|
|
don’t rely on any specific feature until the API is frozen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main interfaces are `MatrixAPI` and
|
|
|
|
|
|
`MatrixClient`. `MatrixHTTPAPI` and `MatrixHTTPClient` implement these
|
|
|
|
|
|
interfaces, respectively and can communicate with an HTTP based
|
|
|
|
|
|
homeserver. If a new protocol becomes supported oficially, a new `API`
|
|
|
|
|
|
and `Client` class will be added.

# Usage

|
|
|
|
The SDK provides two layers of interaction. The low-level layer
|
|
|
|
|
|
(`MatrixAPI` implementations like `MatrixHTTPAPI`) just wraps the raw
|
|
|
|
|
|
API calls. The high-level layer (`MatrixClient` implementations like
|
|
|
|
|
|
`MatrixHTTPClient`) is a `GMainLoop` based asynchronous object that
|
|
|
|
|
|
emits `GObject` signals and uses the low-level layer to provide an
|
|
|
|
|
|
object model to perform actions on.

|
|
|
|
For a working example, see [test-client.c](src/test-client.c).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Create a client object
|
|
|
|
|
|
MatrixClient *client = MATRIX_CLIENT(matrix_http_client_new("http://localhost:8008"));
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Set tokens for the session. Alternatively you may want to login with matrix_api_login() or matrix_client_login_with_password()
|
|
|
|
|
|
matrix_api_set_token(MATRIX_API(client), "your_access_token");
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Connect a callback that gets called when a m.room.message event arrives
|
|
|
|
|
|
matrix_client_connect_event(client, MATRIX_EVENT_TYPE_ROOM_MESSAGE, message_callback, NULL);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Enter polling mode. This continuously calls the /sync API
|
|
|
|
|
|
matrix_client_begin_polling(client);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Now enter a main loop with g_main_loop_run() so polling for events can actually begin
