# Go-NEB
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/matrix-org/go-neb.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/matrix-org/go-neb)

Go-NEB is a [Matrix](https://matrix.org) bot written in Go. It is the successor to [Matrix-NEB](https://github.com/matrix-org/Matrix-NEB), the original Matrix bot written in Python.

# Quick Start

Clone and run (Requires Go 1.7+ and GB):

```bash
gb build github.com/matrix-org/go-neb
BIND_ADDRESS=:4050 DATABASE_TYPE=sqlite3 DATABASE_URL=go-neb.db?_busy_timeout=5000 BASE_URL=http://localhost:4050 bin/go-neb
```

Get a Matrix user ID and access token and give it to Go-NEB:

```bash
curl -X POST localhost:4050/admin/configureClient --data-binary '{
    "UserID": "@goneb:localhost",
    "HomeserverURL": "http://localhost:8008",
    "AccessToken": "<access_token>",
    "Sync": true,
    "AutoJoinRooms": true,
    "DisplayName": "My Bot"
}'
```

Tell it what service to run:

```bash
curl -X POST localhost:4050/admin/configureService --data-binary '{
    "Type": "echo",
    "Id": "myserviceid",
    "UserID": "@goneb:localhost",
    "Config": {}
}'
```

Invite the bot user into a Matrix room and type `!echo hello world`. It will reply with `hello world`.

# Installing
Go-NEB is built using Go 1.5+ and [GB](https://getgb.io/). Once you have installed Go, run the following commands:
```bash
# Install gb
go get github.com/constabulary/gb/...

# Clone the go-neb repository
git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/go-neb
cd go-neb

# Build go-neb
gb build github.com/matrix-org/go-neb
```

# Running
Go-NEB uses environment variables to configure its SQLite database and bind address. To run Go-NEB, run the following command:
```bash
BIND_ADDRESS=:4050 DATABASE_TYPE=sqlite3 DATABASE_URL=go-neb.db?_busy_timeout=5000 BASE_URL=https://public.facing.endpoint bin/go-neb
```
 - `BIND_ADDRESS` is the port to listen on.
 - `DATABASE_TYPE` MUST be "sqlite3". No other type is supported.
 - `DATABASE_URL` is where to find the database file. One will be created if it does not exist. It is a URL so parameters can be passed to it. We recommend setting `_busy_timeout=5000` to prevent sqlite3 "database is locked" errors.
 - `BASE_URL` should be the public-facing endpoint that sites like Github can send webhooks to.
 - `CONFIG_FILE` is the path to the configuration file to read from. This isn't included in the example above, so Go-NEB will operate in HTTP mode.

Go-NEB needs to be "configured" with clients and services before it will do anything useful. It can be configured via a configuration file OR by an HTTP API.

## Configuration file
If you run Go-NEB with a `CONFIG_FILE` environment variable, it will load that file and use it for services, clients, etc. There is a [sample configuration file](config.sample.yaml) which explains all the options. In most cases, these are *direct mappings* to the corresponding HTTP API.

# API
The API is documented in sections using godoc. The sections consists of:
 - An HTTP API (the path and method to use)
 - A "JSON request body" (the JSON that is inside the HTTP request body)
 - "Configuration" information (any additional information that is specific to what you're creating)
 
To form the complete API, you need to combine the HTTP API with the JSON request body, and the "Configuration" information (which is always under a JSON key called `Config`). In addition, most APIs have a `Type` which determines which piece of code to load. To find out what the right type is for the thing you're creating, check the constants defined in godoc.

## Configuring Clients
Go-NEB needs to connect as a matrix user to receive messages. Go-NEB can listen for messages as multiple matrix users. The users are configured using an HTTP API and the config is stored in the database.

 - [HTTP API Docs](https://matrix-org.github.io/go-neb/pkg/github.com/matrix-org/go-neb/api/handlers/index.html#ConfigureClient.OnIncomingRequest)
 - [JSON Request Body Docs](https://matrix-org.github.io/go-neb/pkg/github.com/matrix-org/go-neb/api/index.html#ClientConfig)

## Configuring Services
Services contain all the useful functionality in Go-NEB. They require a client to operate. Services are configured using an HTTP API and the config is stored in the database. Services use one of the matrix users configured on Go-NEB to send/receive matrix messages.

Every service has an "ID", "type" and "user ID". Services may specify additional "config" keys: see the specific
service you're interested in for the additional keys, if any.

 - [HTTP API Docs](https://matrix-org.github.io/go-neb/pkg/github.com/matrix-org/go-neb/api/handlers/index.html#ConfigureService.OnIncomingRequest)
 - [JSON Request Body Docs](https://matrix-org.github.io/go-neb/pkg/github.com/matrix-org/go-neb/api/index.html#ConfigureServiceRequest)

## Configuring Realms
Realms are how Go-NEB authenticates users on third-party websites.

# Developing
There's a bunch more tools this project uses when developing in order to do
things like linting. Some of them are bundled with go (fmt and vet) but some
are not. You should install the ones which are not:

```bash
go get github.com/golang/lint/golint
go get github.com/fzipp/gocyclo
```

You can then install the pre-commit hook:

```bash
./hooks/install.sh
```
