Kotlin API for StackExchange chat
This is a kotlin port of ChatExchange.
Structurally it is almost completely the same as the original, hence all credit for that goes to original creator(s) and maintainer(s) of that project, most notably Tunaki.
Add the Jitpack repository:
repositories {
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
Add the dependency:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.TimCastelijns:ChatExchange:version'
}
Where version should be equal to that of the jitpack badge above.
Older versions can be found here.
TBD
All functionality has been ported, but not everything has been fully tested.
A test file exists for this purpose (see below). Currently there are no automated tests.
-
Prettify the code
It is currently basically the kotlin version of the java code. It would be great to convert whatever possible to idiomatic kotlin.
-
Handle unhandled events
Currently only a specific subset of events are handled. It would be great to support all of them, and separate them by purpose. E.g. MessageStarred and MessagePinned could be 2 separate events.
There is a very basic set up in Test.kt that joins the sandbox room and attached event listeners.
This can be used for testing purposes, but requires a file credentials.properties to be present in the root with format:
email=<email>
password=<password>
