**collective.mastodon** is a package providing a [Plone](https://plone.org/) content rules action to post a status to a Mastodon instance.

# Installation

This package supports Plone sites using Volto and ClassicUI.

For proper Volto support, the requirements are:

* plone.restapi >= 8.34.0
* Volto >= 16.10.0

Add **collective.mastodon** to the Plone installation using `pip`:

```bash
pip install collective.mastodon
```

or add it as a dependency on your package's `setup.py`

```python
install_requires = [
"collective.mastodon",
"Plone",
"plone.restapi",
"setuptools",
],
```

## Configuration

### Obtaining an Access Token
Before you can use this package, you have to register an application on Mastodon.
To do so, log in to your account, visit `settings/applications/new` and create the application. (Please select `read` and `write` scopes, and keep the default `Redirect URI`).
Go to the newly created application page and copy the value of `Your access token`.

### Configuring Plone

This package is configured via the `MASTODON_APPS` environment variable which should contain a valid JSON array with your Mastodon Application information.

Each application registration requires the following information:

| Key | Description | Example Value |
| -- | -- | -- |
| name | Identifier for the application | localhost-user |
| instance | URL of your instance, without the trailing slash | http://localhost |
| token | Access token of your Mastodon Application | jutbgrhNDS1EvUvpoHD0ox4a7obSCT9_IpliStv799M |
| user | User on the Mastodon instance. (Only used to generate a friendly name on Plone) | user |

Using the information above, the environment variable would look like:

```shell
MASTODON_APPS='[{"name": "localhost-user","instance":"http://localhost","token":"jutbgrhNDS1EvUvpoHD0ox4a7obSCT9_IpliStv799M","user":"user"}]'
```

### Starting Plone

Now, you can start your local Plone installation with:

```shell
MASTODON_APPS='[{"name": "localhost-user","instance":"http://localhost","token":"jutbgrhNDS1EvUvpoHD0ox4a7obSCT9_IpliStv799M","user":"user"}]' make start
```

or, if you are using a `docker compose` configuration, add the new environment variable under the `environment` key:

```yaml
environment:
- MASTODON_APPS='[{"name": "localhost-user","instance":"http://localhost","token":"jutbgrhNDS1EvUvpoHD0ox4a7obSCT9_IpliStv799M","user":"user"}]'
```

After start-up visit the `Content Rules` Control Panel, and create a new content rule.

No additional configuration is needed for Volto support.

Then install the dependencies and a development instance using:

```bash
make build
```
### Update translations

```bash
make i18n
```

### Format codebase

```bash
make format
```

### Run tests

Testing of this package is done with [`pytest`](https://docs.pytest.org/) and [`tox`](https://tox.wiki/).

Run all tests with:

```bash
make test
```

Run all tests but stop on the first error and open a `pdb` session:

```bash
./bin/tox -e test -- -x --pdb
```

Run only tests that match `TestAppDiscovery`:

```bash
./bin/tox -e test -- -k TestAppDiscovery
```

Run only tests that match `TestAppDiscovery`, but stop on the first error and open a `pdb` session:
