Simple HTTPclient to post messages to your Mattermost server available on Nuget : https://www.nuget.org/packages/Matterhook.NET.MatterhookClient

👋

I am Adam - I don't really like writing bios.

I am on Twitter, where I mostly waffle on about nothing into the void.

I am on my website, where I also waffle on about nothing into the void, but in longer form.

I am on this website (right here, where you're looking), where I write code for myself and for Pi-hole.

I am on Instagram, where I sometimes post pictures of things I like.

I am on email, because you simply have to be these days.

I am on Linkedin, which I regret every time I visit it.

matterhook.net.matterhookclient's Issues

Branches for new releases

@PromoFaux I think we should use branches for our releases,i.e. we should create a branch name v1.4 and a branch named v1.5.

This way we have a cleaner organisation.

I would delete my PR from the master and merged it in the branch v1.4, but since it is protected only you can do this (afaik).

Feature Interactive Message Buttons

I was thinking to implement it in my app, which use this library. Are there some plans about it, or should I make a PR if I ended implementing it?

How can I get the "post id" after posting a message

I want to:

• Create a post, "Hello this is a post"
• And also add a reaction to it, eg ":thumbs-up:"

How can I achieve this? Any ideas?

appveyor yaml appending -dev to tagged version

This has had the unfortunate side-effect of the 1.4 release in nuget being named wrong

Only cosmetic, but could be confusing to folk downloading the package from nuget.

Would like to get it fixed before 1.5 (or perhaps release a 1.4.1)

Support Message Menus

Recently Mattermost added message menus to interactive buttons.
See link.

Will work on it this weekend.

Create Unit Tests

This repo needs some tests to assure it works as wished 😄

StringSplitter Exceptions

The method StringSplitter.SplitTextIntoChunks raises exception by a null input string or for maxChunkSize < 1.

This exceptions will not be raised "directly".

Example:

//Passing a null string will raise an ArgumentException
var chunks = StringSplitter.SplitTextIntoChunks(null, 250, false);
var firstChunk = chunks.First();    //Exception will be raised here!!!!

The exceptions will be raised first when accessing the enumerable, due to the enumerator nature of the method.

I am not sure if this is the intended behaviour, since I would expect the exception to be raised when calling StringSplitter.SplitTextIntoChunks(null, 250, false)

README Overhaul

After releasing v1.4 the ReadMe needs to be edited to show the new features.

Appveyor PR builds failing

I've clearly set something up wrong in the Appveyor config. Builds for tags work with no issue, and branch builds appear to work.

It appears to relate to the AssemblyInfo

obj\Release\net452\Matterhook.NET.MatterhookClient.AssemblyInfo.cs(18,59): warning CS7035: The specified version string does not conform to the recommended format - major.minor.build.revision [C:\projects\matterhook-net-matterhookclient\Matterhook.NET.MatterhookClient\Matterhook.NET.MatterhookClient.csproj]
obj\Release\net452\Matterhook.NET.MatterhookClient.AssemblyInfo.cs(22,55): error CS7034: The specified version string does not conform to the required format - major[.minor[.build[.revision]]] [C:\projects\matterhook-net-matterhookclient\Matterhook.NET.MatterhookClient\Matterhook.NET.MatterhookClient.csproj]

More intelligent text splitting

Currently, markdown gets messed up when very long messages are split. We need to implement something to preserve the formatting between split messages

Matterhook.NET.MatterhookClient v1.5

Matterhook.NET.MatterhookClient v1.5 milestones:

• #11 - Unit Tests
• #10 - Text-splitting preserving markdown format

More milestones could be added to this release.

Problem with System.http. not found at runtime

I wanted to use this dll to notify in Mattermost events of my app (.NET 4.6).

Problem is when trying to create an instance of Matterhook client, I get the exception, that System.Net.Http 4.0.0 was not found.

I tried updating packages, rebuilding, but nothing. I can't find the dll in the project's bin folder.

If I manually copy it to the bin folder, an exception is no more thrown and my app works like it should.

I am doing sth wrong or is this a bug?

Add interactive dialogs support

Mattermost now has interactive dialogs.

We should add support for it in the next release.

@PromoFaux should we maybe release a version 1.4.1 with support for interactive dialogs and updated README, since this is an easy task and leave v1.5 milestones as they are since they are bit more complicated/long.

I hope to be able to get all done in christmas.
