NAME `Net::Async::Matrix' - use Matrix with IO::Async SYNOPSIS use Net::Async::Matrix; use IO::Async::Loop; my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new; my $matrix = Net::Async::Matrix->new( server => "my.home.server", ); $loop->add( $matrix ); $matrix->login( user => '@my-user:home.server', password => 'SeKr1t', )->get; DESCRIPTION Matrix is an new open standard for interoperable Instant Messaging and VoIP, providing pragmatic HTTP APIs and open source reference implementations for creating and running your own real-time communication infrastructure. This module allows an program to interact with a Matrix homeserver as a connected user client. http://matrix.org/ EVENTS The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or `CODE' references in parameters: on_log $message A request to write a debugging log message. This is provided temporarily for development and debugging purposes, but will at some point be removed when the code has reached a certain level of stability. on_presence $user, %changes Invoked on receipt of a user presence change event from the homeserver. `%changes' will map user state field names to 2-element ARRAY references, each containing the old and new values of that field. on_room_new $room Invoked when a new room first becomes known about. Passed an instance of Net::Async::Matrix::Room. on_room_del $room Invoked when the user has now left a room. on_invite $event Invoked on receipt of a room invite. The `$event' will contain the plain Matrix event as received; with at least the keys `inviter' and `room_id'. on_unknown_event $event Invoked on receipt of any sort of event from the event stream, that is not recognised by any of the other code. This can be used to handle new kinds of incoming events. PARAMETERS The following named parameters may be passed to `new' or `configure'. In addition, `CODE' references for event handlers using the event names listed above can also be given. server => STRING Hostname and port number to contact the homeserver at. Given in the form $hostname:$port This string will be interpolated directly into HTTP request URLs. SSL => BOOL Whether to use SSL/TLS to communicate with the homeserver. Defaults false. SSL_* => ... Any other parameters whose names begin `SSL_' will be stored for passing to the HTTP user agent. See IO::Socket::SSL for more detail. path_prefix => STRING Optional. Gives the path prefix to find the Matrix client API at. Normally this should not need modification. on_room_member, on_room_message => CODE Optional. Sets default event handlers on new room objects. enable_events => BOOL Optional. Normally enabled, but if set to a defined-but-false value (i.e. 0 or empty string) the event stream will be disabled. This will cause none of the incoming event handlers to be invoked, because the server will not be polled for events. This may be useful in simple send-only cases where the client has no interest in receiveing any events, and wishes to reduce the load on the homeserver. longpoll_timeout => NUM Optional. Timeout in seconds for the `/events' longpoll operation. Defaults to 30 seconds if not supplied. METHODS The following methods documented with a trailing call to `->get' return Future instances. $matrix->login( %params )->get Performs the necessary steps required to authenticate with the configured Home Server, actually obtain an access token and starting the event stream (unless disabled by the `enable_events' option being false). The returned `Future' will eventually yield the `$matrix' object itself, so it can be easily chained. There are various methods of logging in supported by Matrix; the following sets of arguments determine which is used: user_id, password Log in via the `m.login.password' method. user_id, access_token Directly sets the `user_id' and `access_token' fields, bypassing the usual login semantics. This presumes you already have an existing access token to re-use, obtained by some other mechanism. This exists largely for testing purposes. $matrix->register( %params )->get Performs the necessary steps required to create a new account on the configured Home Server. $f = $matrix->start Performs the initial IMSync on the server, and starts the event stream to begin receiving events. While this method does return a `Future' it is not required that the caller keep track of this; the object itself will store it. It will complete when the initial IMSync has fininshed, and the event stream has started. If the initial sync has already been requested, this method simply returns the future it returned the last time, ensuring that you can await the client starting up simply by calling it; it will not start a second time. $matrix->stop Stops the event stream. After calling this you will need to use `start' again to continue receiving events. $user = $matrix->myself Returns the user object representing the connected user. $user = $matrix->user( $user_id ) Returns the user object representing a user of the given ID, if defined, or `undef'. $name = $matrix->get_displayname->get $matrix->set_displayname( $name )->get Accessor and mutator for the user account's "display name" profile field. ( $presence, $msg ) = $matrix->get_presence->get $matrix->set_presence( $presence, $msg )->get Accessor and mutator for the user's current presence state and optional status message string. ( $room, $room_alias ) = $matrix->create_room( $alias_localpart )->get Requests the creation of a new room and associates a new alias with the given localpart on the server. The returned `Future' will return an instance of Net::Async::Matrix::Room and a string containing the full alias that was created. $room = $matrix->join_room( $room_alias_or_id )->get Requests to join an existing room with the given alias name or plain room ID. If this room is already known by the `$matrix' object, this method simply returns it. $matrix->add_alias( $alias, $room_id )->get $matrix->delete_alias( $alias )->get Performs a directory server request to create the given room alias name, to point at the room ID, or to remove it again. Note that this is likely only to be supported for alias names scoped within the homeserver the client is connected to, and that additionally some form of permissions system may be in effect on the server to limit access to the directory server. $content_uri = $matrix->upload( %params )->get Performs a post to the server's media content repository, to upload a new piece of content, returning the content URI that points to it. The content can be specified in any of three ways, with the following three mutually-exclusive arguments: content => STRING Gives the content directly as an immediate scalar value. file => STRING Gives the path to a readable file on the filesystem containing the content. fh => IO Gives an opened IO handle the content can be read from. The following additional arguments are also recognised: content_type => STRING Gives the MIME type of the content data. content_length => INT Optional. If the content is being delivered from an opened filehandle (via the `fh' argument), this gives the total length in bytes. This is required in cases such as reading from pipes, when the length of the content isn't immediately available such as by `stat()'ing the filehandle. USER STRUCTURES Parameters documented as `$user' receive a user struct, which supports the following methods: $user_id = $user->user_id User ID of the user. $displayname = $user->displayname Profile displayname of the user. $presence = $user->presence Presence state. One of `offline', `unavailable' or `online'. $last_active = $user->last_active Epoch time that the user was last active. SUBCLASSING METHODS The following methods are not normally required by users of this class, but are provided for the convenience of subclasses to override. $room = $matrix->make_room( %params ) Returns a new instance of Net::Async::Matrix::Room.
