• App Engine

Initialize

api := gitter.New("YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN")

Users

• Get current user

  user, err := api.GetUser()
  

Rooms

• Get all rooms

  rooms, err := api.GetRooms()
  

• Get room by id

  room, err := api.GetRoom("roomID")
  

• Get rooms of some user

  rooms, err := api.GetRooms("userID")
  

• Join room

  room, err := api.JoinRoom("roomID", "userID")
  

• Leave room

  room, err := api.LeaveRoom("roomID", "userID")
  

• Get room id

  id, err := api.GetRoomId("room/uri")
  

• Search gitter rooms

  rooms, err := api.SearchRooms("search/string")
  

Messages

• Get messages of room

  messages, err := api.GetMessages("roomID", nil)
  

• Get one message

  message, err := api.GetMessage("roomID", "messageID")
  

• Send message

  err := api.SendMessage("roomID", "free chat text")
  

Stream

Create stream to the room and start listening to incoming messages

stream := api.Stream(room.Id)
go api.Listen(stream)

for {
    event := <-stream.Event
    switch ev := event.Data.(type) {
    case *gitter.MessageReceived:
        fmt.Println(ev.Message.From.Username + ": " + ev.Message.Text)
    case *gitter.GitterConnectionClosed:
        // connection was closed
    }
}

Close stream connection

stream.Close()

Faye (Experimental)

faye := api.Faye(room.ID)
go faye.Listen()

for {
    event := <-faye.Event
    switch ev := event.Data.(type) {
    case *gitter.MessageReceived:
        fmt.Println(ev.Message.From.Username + ": " + ev.Message.Text)
    case *gitter.GitterConnectionClosed: //this one is never called in Faye
        // connection was closed
    }
}

Debug

You can print the internal errors by enabling debug to true

api.SetDebug(true, nil)

You can also define your own io.Writer in case you want to persist the logs somewhere. For example keeping the errors on file

logFile, err := os.Create("gitter.log")
api.SetDebug(true, logFile)

App Engine

Initialize app engine client and continue as usual

c := appengine.NewContext(r)
client := urlfetch.Client(c)

api := gitter.New("YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN")
api.SetClient(client)
