# Hydrogen View SDK
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Hydrogen view SDK allows developers to integrate parts of the Hydrogen application into the UI of their own application. Hydrogen is written with the MVVM pattern, so to construct a view, you'd first construct a view model, which you then pass into the view. For most view models, you will first need a running client.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
The Hydrogen SDK requires some assets to be shipped along with your app for things like downloading attachments, and end-to-end encryption. A convenient way to make this happen is provided by the SDK (importing `hydrogen-view-sdk/paths/vite`) but depends on your build system. Currently, only [vite](https://vitejs.dev/) is supported, so that's what we'll be using in the example below.
|
|
|
|
You can create a vite project using the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# you can pick "vanilla-ts" here for project type if you're not using react or vue
|
|
yarn create vite
|
|
cd <your-project-name>
|
|
yarn
|
|
yarn add hydrogen-view-sdk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should see a `index.html` in the project root directory, containing an element with `id="app"`. Add the attribute `class="hydrogen"` to this element, as the CSS we'll include from the SDK assumes for now that the app is rendered in an element with this classname.
|
|
|
|
If you go into the `src` directory, you should see a `main.ts` file. If you put this code in there, you should see a basic timeline after login and initial sync have finished (might take a while before you see anything on the screen actually).
|
|
|
|
You'll need to provide the username and password of a user that is already in the [#element-dev:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#element-dev:matrix.org) room (or change the room id).
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
import {
|
|
Platform,
|
|
Client,
|
|
LoadStatus,
|
|
createNavigation,
|
|
createRouter,
|
|
RoomViewModel,
|
|
TimelineView
|
|
} from "hydrogen-view-sdk";
|
|
import downloadSandboxPath from 'hydrogen-view-sdk/download-sandbox.html?url';
|
|
import workerPath from 'hydrogen-view-sdk/main.js?url';
|
|
import olmWasmPath from '@matrix-org/olm/olm.wasm?url';
|
|
import olmJsPath from '@matrix-org/olm/olm.js?url';
|
|
import olmLegacyJsPath from '@matrix-org/olm/olm_legacy.js?url';
|
|
const assetPaths = {
|
|
downloadSandbox: downloadSandboxPath,
|
|
worker: workerPath,
|
|
olm: {
|
|
wasm: olmWasmPath,
|
|
legacyBundle: olmLegacyJsPath,
|
|
wasmBundle: olmJsPath
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
import "hydrogen-view-sdk/theme-element-light.css";
|
|
// OR import "hydrogen-view-sdk/theme-element-dark.css";
|
|
|
|
async function main() {
|
|
const app = document.querySelector<HTMLDivElement>('#app')!
|
|
const config = {};
|
|
const platform = new Platform(app, assetPaths, config, { development: import.meta.env.DEV });
|
|
const navigation = createNavigation();
|
|
platform.setNavigation(navigation);
|
|
const urlRouter = createRouter({
|
|
navigation: navigation,
|
|
history: platform.history
|
|
});
|
|
urlRouter.attach();
|
|
const client = new Client(platform);
|
|
|
|
const loginOptions = await client.queryLogin("matrix.org").result;
|
|
client.startWithLogin(loginOptions.password("username", "password"));
|
|
|
|
await client.loadStatus.waitFor((status: string) => {
|
|
return status === LoadStatus.Ready ||
|
|
status === LoadStatus.Error ||
|
|
status === LoadStatus.LoginFailed;
|
|
}).promise;
|
|
|
|
if (client.loginFailure) {
|
|
alert("login failed: " + client.loginFailure);
|
|
} else if (client.loadError) {
|
|
alert("load failed: " + client.loadError.message);
|
|
} else {
|
|
const {session} = client;
|
|
// looks for room corresponding to #element-dev:matrix.org, assuming it is already joined
|
|
const room = session.rooms.get("!bEWtlqtDwCLFIAKAcv:matrix.org");
|
|
const vm = new RoomViewModel({
|
|
room,
|
|
ownUserId: session.userId,
|
|
platform,
|
|
urlCreator: urlRouter,
|
|
navigation,
|
|
});
|
|
await vm.load();
|
|
const view = new TimelineView(vm.timelineViewModel);
|
|
app.appendChild(view.mount());
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
main();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Typescript support
|
|
|
|
Typescript support is not yet available while we're converting the Hydrogen codebase to Typescript.
|
|
In your `src` directory, you'll need to add a `.d.ts` (can be called anything, e.g. `deps.d.ts`)
|
|
containing this snippet to make Typescript not complain that `hydrogen-view-sdk` doesn't have types:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
declare module "hydrogen-view-sdk";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API Stability
|
|
|
|
This library follows semantic versioning; there is no API stability promised as long as the major version is still 0. Once 1.0.0 is released, breaking changes will be released with a change in major versioning.
