## Overview

* [Usage](#Usage)
* [Registration](#Registration)
* [Certificate](#Certificate)
* [Configuration](#Configuration)
* [Commands](#Commands)
* [Compile](#Compile)

## Usage

### Requirements:

* openjdk 8 (openjdk 9, 10 don't supported, I need time to test it).

### Run application service

Command:
```
java -jar mxtoot-X.X.X.jar check mxtoot.yaml
```
will check you configuration in the mxtoot.yaml file.

Command:
```
java -Xmx100m -jar mxtoot-X.X.X.jar server mxtoot.yaml
```
will run the application service.

An example [mxtoot.service](https://github.com/ma1uta/mxtoot/blob/master/mxtoot.service) file is provided for systemd usage with `mxtoot` home user.

### Invite a bot

Invite a bot with unique mxid like '@mxtoot_clientapp:homeserver.url' where
* homeserver.url is a homeserver which attached to the applicatin service.
* clientapp is a name of the mastodon application.

It is important that the name of the bot be unique. You can do this by choose unique clientapp
(for example, your mastodon's username).

Application service will create the bot and join it to the invited room.
Also user who sent invite will be a owner of the bot.

### Registration bot in the Mastodon.

To start registration flow use command `!reg ` where first parameter is a mastodon url.
Bot will answer with a url to authorize in the mastodon. Please open this url, login into your account
and authorize new application. After this copy the authorization code and execute command
`!auth `

After this you can enable your home stream by command `!timeline auto`,
post new messages `!toot Hello, World!`, reply to messages `!reply text`,
boost messages `!boost `, setup format of the messages, ...

Also owner can rejoin bot to a new room by command `!join `.

To delete bot execute command `!leave`. If bot detects that it doesn't exist in any rooms it will
send deactivate request to the homeserver and delete itself in the application service.

## Registration

Each application service should me registered on the homeserver via registration file.
There is an example how to register mxtoot:
```yaml
# unique identifier of the application service
id: "mxtoot"

# url of the application service
url: "https://app.me:8443"

# token AS will add to requests to HS
as_token: "EapiSh7h"

# token token HS will add to requests to AS
hs_token: "tah6Zoox"

# This is a field which denotes the user_id localpart when using the AS token
sender_localpart: "mxtoot"

namespaces:
users: # List of users we're interested in
- exclusive: true
regex: "@mxtoot_.*"
rooms: [] # List of aliases we're interested in
aliases: [] # List of room ids we're interested in
```

## Certificate

Application service can use certificates stored in pkcs12 file (at current moment)
to work under secure connection (https).

To convert pem-based certificates to pkcs12 you can use next command:
```
openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey privkey.pem -in fullchain.pem -out mxtoot.pkcs12
```
where privkey.pem and fullchain.pem are private key and certificate with public key and
all parent certificates.
You can use certificates from [Lets Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/).

## Configuration

There is only an one configuration yaml-file which include all settings.

### homeserverUrl
Url of the matrix homeserver. For example "https://matrix.org:8448"

### displayName
Initial bot's displayName. If command is enabled it is possible to change this name.
Can be invoked only by owner. For example, "mxtoot".

### prefix
Initial command's prefix. If command is enabled it is possible to change prefix.
Can be invoked only by owner. For example, "!".

DO NOT USE "/". This character is internal used by Web Riot and all commands with "/" prefix will be
invoked only by Riot not bot. Workaround ro execute commands: place one or more spaces before prefix.

Also there is a special placeholder {{display_name}} which will be replaced by current bot's name.
You can set prefix as "{{display_name}}:" and all commands should be execute by bot's mention.
For example, "mxtoot: help".

### commands
There is a list of all enabled commands described by command's class.
See [more](#Commands).

### runState
There are two run states: APPLICATION_SERVICE and STANDALONE.

In STANDALONE mode each of the bots will run in separated thread and receive events from /sync request
like a common client.

In APPLICATION_SERVICE mode bots wont'be run in threads and will receive events only from
application service via /transaction endpoint. This state is recommended because reduces load
of the homeserver.

### strictMode
May be `true` or `false`.

When Application service receive events via /transaction endpoint it will validate event.

When strictMode is enabled if unknown field is found application service will throw exception
and stop it process.

When strictMode is disabled it will skip event's validations and all unknown fields will be ignored.

### postFormat
### replyFormat
### boostFormat
### mentionFormat
### favouriteFormat
### followFormat

Initial template of the post, reply, boost, mention, favourite and follow messages which come from Mastodon. To create messages uses
[jmustache](https://github.com/samskivert/jmustache) library, it is another java implementation
of the logic-less templating engine [mustache](https://mustache.github.io/).

For example, how you can define template:
```
postFormat: >


[{{id}}]: {{url}}:

{{account.acct}} at {{created_at}} wrote:

{{content}}
```
When bot receive message from the Mastodon it fill all placeholders `{{value}}` by values and write
the message to the room.
So, portFormat describe how display general toots from the Mastodon, replyFormat - replies,
boostFormat - boost/reblog messages.

### dateTimeFormat

Defines how display date and time from all Mastodon's messages.
See more on the [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html]()
in the Section "Patterns for Formatting and Parsing".

### dateTimeLocale

Defines locale of the localized date terms in the [dateTimeFormat](#datetimeformat) template.

For example, you can set `dateTimeFormat: "MMM, dd, yyyy"` and `dateTimeLocale: "ru"`. Then date
will be rendered as `Май, 02, 2018` because the Russian locale was defined.

### fetchMissingStatuses

May be `true` or `false`.

Also there are a lot of dropwizard's settings. You can check it in the corresponding
[page](https://www.dropwizard.io/1.3.2/docs/manual/configuration.html).

Because synapse doesn't work with zipped requests it need to disable zipping. And increase
timeouts to avoid a lot of timeout errors in the /sync request (in STANDALONE run mode).
```
jerseyClient:
gzipEnabled: false
gzipEnabledForRequests: false
chunkedEncodingEnabled: false
timeout: 20s
```
