Getting Started

Basic Usage

const RocketChatApi = require('rocketchat-api')

Now you can either login or instantiate with username and password

const rocketChatClient = new RocketChatApi(
  'https',
  'chat.localhost',
  443,
  'myuser',
  'mypassword',
  (err, result)=>{
    console.info('RC connected', result)
})

or

const rocketChatClient = new RocketChatApi('https','chat.localhost',443)
rocketChatClient.login('myuser','password')
  .then(result)=>{
      console.info('RC connected')
  })
  .catch((err)=>{
    console.error(err)
  })

Using as express middleware

app.use(async (req, res, next)=>{
  req.rocketChatClient = new RocketChatApi('https','chat.localhost',443)
  // wait for rocket to login before continue in case you want to use it right away
  const loginResponse=await rocketChatClient.login('myusername',',mypassword')
  next()
})

  }
}

Authentication

The authentication with the API is a process that is handled for you automatically when you create a new instance of the client.

const rocketChatClient = new RocketChatApi('https', 'chat.localhost', 443, 'admin', 'password', (err, responseBody, self)=>{
  if(err)
    return console.error('Error connecting to RocketChat', err)
  console.info('RocketChat client connect')
  // self refers to an instance of rocketChatClient, useful if you need subsequent calls
  // responseBody is an object containing authToken and userId  
});

You can, however, use the provided methods to switch user, or - i.e. if you don't have the credentials at startup time - you can choose a late authentication.

Loading stored credentials

You can also use setAuthToken and setUserId to set stored credentials, like this:

rocketChatClient.setAuthToken('my-stored-token')
rocketChatClient.setUserId('my-stored-userId')

Note that the api methods here will only authenticate the Web Api, not the realtime websocket api. For authenticating the realtime api, please Check here.

login

rocketChatClient.login(username, password)
  .then((body, self)=>{
    // self is an instance of rocketChatClient,useful if you need subsequent calls
    console.log(body)
    // body is an object containing authToken and userId  
  }).catch((err)=>{
    console.log(err)
  })

Realtime

IMPORTANT! These implementations are based on an unreleased version of the API. Use this at the risk that it may stop working anytime.

The realtime API is composed of two elements: Method Calls and Subscriptions.

Methods allow you to invoke methods (i.e. send message) while subscriptions allow you to subscribe to methods. Not all methods of the realtime api are implemented, so combining those two apis - classic and realtime - should give you all the tools you need to create an interactive application.

Realtime API

Subscriptions

stream-notify-user
notification

Subscribe to notification. A notification seems to be a mention in a channel. The result is only a part of the full message, to get attachments one will have to query for the message afterwards.

 
rocketChatClient.notify.user.onNotification(userId, callback);
 

Result:

 
{
    "msg":"changed",
    "collection":"stream-notify-user",
    "id":"id",
    "fields":{
        "eventName":"${userId}/message",
        "args":[
            {
                "title":"@username-sender",
                "text":"message text",
                "payload":{
                    "_id":"id of the payload. might be use to ensure delivered only once?",
                    "rid":"some id, probably userId + smth unique?",
                    "sender":{
                        "_id":"userid of the sender",
                        "username":"username of sender"
                    },
                    "type":"d"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}
 
stream-room-messages

Subscribe to new messages in a room.

 
rocketChatClient.notify.room.onChanged(roomId, callback);
 

Result

 
{
    "msg":"changed",
    "collection":"stream-room-messages",
    "id":"id",
    "fields":{
        "eventName":"${roomId}"
    }
}
