}The authentication with the API is a process that is handled for you automatically when you create a new instance of the client.
const rocketChatClient = new RocketChatApi('https', 'chat.localhost', 443, 'admin', 'password', (err, responseBody, self)=>{
if(err)
return console.error('Error connecting to RocketChat', err)
console.info('RocketChat client connect')
// self refers to an instance of rocketChatClient, useful if you need subsequent calls
// responseBody is an object containing authToken and userId
});You can, however, use the provided methods to switch user, or - i.e. if you don't have the credentials at startup time - you can choose a late authentication.
You can also use setAuthToken and setUserId to set stored credentials, like this:
rocketChatClient.setAuthToken('my-stored-token')
rocketChatClient.setUserId('my-stored-userId')Note that the api methods here will only authenticate the Web Api, not the realtime websocket api. For authenticating the realtime api, please Check here.
rocketChatClient.login(username, password)
.then((body, self)=>{
// self is an instance of rocketChatClient,useful if you need subsequent calls
console.log(body)
// body is an object containing authToken and userId
}).catch((err)=>{
console.log(err)

}IMPORTANT! These implementations are based on an unreleased version of the API. Use this at the risk that it may stop working anytime.
The realtime API is composed of two elements: Method Calls and Subscriptions.
Methods allow you to invoke methods (i.e. send message) while subscriptions allow you to subscribe to methods. Not all methods of the realtime api are implemented, so combining those two apis - classic and realtime - should give you all the tools you need to create an interactive application.
- Login
- Logout
- Send Message
- Leaving Rooms
Subscribe to notification. A notification seems to be a mention in a channel. The result is only a part of the full message, to get attachments one will have to query for the message afterwards.
rocketChatClient.notify.user.onNotification(userId, callback);Result:
{
"msg":"changed",
"collection":"stream-notify-user",
"id":"id",
"fields":{
"eventName":"${userId}/message",
"args":[
{
"title":"@username-sender",
"text":"message text",
"payload":{
"_id":"id of the payload. might be use to ensure delivered only once?",
"rid":"some id, probably userId + smth unique?",
"sender":{
"_id":"userid of the sender",
"username":"username of sender"
},
"type":"d"
}
}
]
}
}
Subscribe to new messages in a room.
rocketChatClient.notify.room.onChanged(roomId, callback);Result
{
"msg":"changed",
"collection":"stream-room-messages",
"id":"id",
"fields":{
"eventName":"${roomId}"
}
}
