This introduces a new helper object to run arbitrary pagination requests, backwards- or forward-. At the moment they're disconnected from the event cache, although I've put the files there for future convenience, since at some point we'll want to merge the retrieved events with the cache (? maybe). This little state machine makes it possible to retrieve the initial data, given an initial event id, using the /context endpoint; then allow stateful pagination using a paginator kind of API. Paginating in the timeline indicates whether we've reached the start/end of the timeline. The test for the state subscription is quite extensive and makes sure the basic functionality works as intended. Some testing helpers have been (re)introduced in the SDK crate, simplifying the code, and introducing a better `EventFactory` / `EventBuilder` pattern than the existing one in the `matrix-sdk-test` crate. In particular, this can make use of some types in `matrix-sdk`, notably `SyncTimelineEvent` and `TimelineEvent`, and I've found the API to be simpler to use as well. Part of #3234.
matrix-rust-sdk
matrix-rust-sdk is an implementation of a Matrix client-server library in Rust.
Project structure
The rust-sdk consists of multiple crates that can be picked at your convenience:
- matrix-sdk - High level client library, with batteries included, you're most likely interested in this.
- matrix-sdk-base - No (network) IO client state machine that can be used to embed a Matrix client in your project or build a full fledged network enabled client lib on top of it.
- matrix-sdk-crypto - No (network) IO encryption state machine that can be used to add Matrix E2EE support to your client or client library.
Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)
These crates are built with the Rust language version 2021 and require a minimum compiler version of 1.70.
Status
The library is in an alpha state, things that are implemented generally work but the API will change in breaking ways.
If you are interested in using the matrix-sdk now is the time to try it out and provide feedback.
Bindings
Some crates of the matrix-rust-sdk can be embedded inside other
environments, like Swift, Kotlin, JavaScript, Node.js etc. Please,
explore the bindings/ directory to learn more.
