RSMatrix 1.0.0-beta-1

RSMatrix

Scope

For now this is just a little sideproject to support the matrix.org chat protocol in .NET. I tried several libraries and got none of them to work as they were all still in beta or abandoned.

Implementing this using the Client spec version 1.13

The goal is to have a simple text client which can retrieve and send text messages for Chatbot development. It's not intended as a comprehensive library for building a client UI.

I will try to make it conform to all requirements. It sends automatic receipts and read notifications.

End-to-End Encryption is a bonus, not sure if it will eventually be supported.

Example

Check the github repository for a minimalistic console example. Here is the basic usage:

MatrixTextClient client = await MatrixTextClient.ConnectAsync(userid, password, device,
    httpClientFactory, cancellationToken, logger);
await client.SyncAsync(MessageReceivedAsync);

and to handle messages:

async Task MessageReceivedAsync(ReceivedTextMessage message)
{
    Console.WriteLine(message);
    await message.Room.SendTypingNotificationAsync();
    await message.SendResponseAsync("pong!");
}

Room and user information is cached and updated on the client object. Associated rooms and users are included in the message given to the handler.
