Can you add matrix.org as a supported platform as would be great
Can you expand a bit on how you'd like to see this integrated? It is not entirely clear to me whether it would be an additional protocol, or integrate in some other way. Thanks!
It would be great as it as an additional protocol aka IM Intergrating this
Moving to chat core.
Component: Account manager → General
Product: Instantbird → Chat Core
Summary: Matrix support → Add Matrix as a supported protocol
I'm the project lead on Matrix - I think what satdav is asking for here is support for Matrix as another messaging protocol alongside IRC etc. For context: Matrix is an HTTP-based open standard for federated and decentralised messaging/voip. One use is as an alternative to IRC and XMPP; the API used for writing clients makes sending messages a simple HTTP PUT/POST and receiving messages in a room a simple long-lived GET, which works pretty well in an HTTP/2 world. The advantages over IRC and XMPP are that Matrix's main building block is decentralised signed conversation history and generally procides a much richer baseline set of capabilities (group chat, end-to-end encryption, voip, read receipts, push notifs, reliable message delivery etc). A good analogy could be that IRC is to Matrix as subversion is to git. Matrix is also focused on defragmenting existing communication protocols (hence the name Matrix). We provide an "application service" API that can be used for bridging to existing comms systems (IRC, XMPP, SIP, Lync etc) - for instance all of irc.mozilla.org and freenode are bridged into Matrix already, and the Mozillan community IT team are playing with it. See https://lwn.net/Articles/632572/ for more details on Matrix. Matrix is still in beta currently (since December) but is increasingle stable and mature and has a fairly wide range of client SDKs (js, python, iOS, Android etc) available. We haven't done a libpurple plugin one yet, but hopefully someone will; it should be pretty trivial. Our flagship SDK is probably matrix-js-sdk currently, which provides both a simple HTTP API wrapper as well as a nice state machine and object model for the client's lifecycle. If this sounds interesting and there's anything we can do to help on this, just say. thanks for considering it!

(Whether the protocol plugin is provided as an addon, or shipped as one of the default set of protocols, would have to be decided by the team.) > Matrix is still in beta currently (since December) but is increasingle > stable and mature and has a fairly wide range of client SDKs (js, python, > iOS, Android etc) available.

For Thunderbird/Instantbird, I would recommend writing a JS protocol plugin. If you already have a JS implementation, this might be quite convenient. The relevant interfaces/APIs are in prplIProtocol.idl and prplIConversation.idl. jsProtoHelper.jsm provides a basic framework to build upon. To give you an idea, the existing JS protocols are here: https://dxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/chat/protocols If you have any questions, you're welcome to join #instantbird or #maildev on irc.mozilla.org!

Attached patch Experimental Patch (commonjs modules) (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
Another version, using require and commonjs modules.
This is really cool! To answer :clokep's questions from earlier - the JS SDK's API doc is at http://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-js-sdk/0.6.4/index.html, and the actual Matrix spec itself is at https://matrix.org/docs/spec and https://matrix.org/docs/api. The baseline API for Matrix is still keep-it-simple/stupid long-polling via HTTP - however, in future we're expecting more advanced optional transports to emerge like the https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/drafts/websockets.rst websockets one. :fredw - we'd be very happy to help you on this in #matrix-dev:matrix.org if you're not already talking to the core team! :)
Attached patch WIP Patch (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
Here is an updated patch that implements the following basic features: - Matrix account creation. - Connection/Deconnection to/from a Matrix server using a login/password. - Joining a room and getting the list of participants. - Receiving/sending messages. It includes the following changes to matrix-js-sdk: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/pull/282/files https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/pull/286/files https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/pull/284/files You can test it locally by installing a synapse server: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse By default, synapse generates self-signed certificate and hence Mozilla chat client will refuse connection by default. There is probably a pref to change that behavior but otherwise you can set "no_tls: True" in the homeserver.yaml file. You can then create a new user: register_new_matrix_user -c homeserver.yaml http://localhost:8008 New user localpart: login Password: passwd Confirm password: passwd Success! The data to use for the Chat Account Wizard are then: Username: login Password: passwd Server: http://localhost Port: 8008

You can then create a new user: We'll probably need to support the bad-cert handler we have (which gives you a link in the account manager to add an exception), check out handleBadCertificate on the prplIAccount object. irc.js implements this at https://dxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/dd4587a78cfd200881956427c8d3fd468aaf9758/chat/protocols/irc/irc.js#731-736 Feel free to ping me on GitHub @clokep if you need my opinion / thoughts / just want to notify on me on a PR.

One of the problem I had when writing the patch was to make loginWithPassword work. It seems I'm not the only one as there are three similar issues opened on GitHub (for now I'm doing the workaround https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/issues/130#issuecomment-213819684): https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/issues/3 https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/issues/130 https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/issues/132 Also, the doc about high-level events is not really helpful. One has to end up reading the code to check which event to listen and how they are used (or otherwise use low-level events and read the Matrix client-client API): https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/issues/246 Do you have plan to address these issues soon? It essentially seems to be improving the doc and I believe it would really help SDK users. (As I mentioned above, I also had https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/issues/250 but it's probably less important)
Flags: needinfo?(matthew)
Hi :fredw, I'm one of the core developers on Matrix. The workaround you mentioned ( https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/issues/130#issuecomment-213819684 ) is the main way people authenticate using the JS SDK. There are a number of reasons why this is the case, primarily because there are many ways a user may *register* for an account, and the JS SDK is not aware of them all. Due to that, it's not possible for the JS SDK to know when an API call to /register (and by extension /login) will return an access_token for the user. We can improve this, but since the workaround is so easy, we've not devoted further time working out the details. We can clarify this in the README and/or the JSDoc for the login() function. The docs for EventEmitter events assumes a degree of prior knowledge about Matrix events: http://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.2.0.html#event-structure . In almost all cases, it is preferable to listen for the high-level form rather than the raw "event" form or else you will end up performing duplicate work which the JS SDK already does for you. For example, https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-js-sdk/0.6.4/module-client.html#~event:MatrixClient%2522RoomMember.powerLevel%2522 lets you know when the privileges of a room member changes, but to extract that from the raw event http://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.2.0.html#m-room-power-levels is a lot more involved as you need to respect defaults, etc. We're always open to documentation improvements. Please let us know on https://matrix.to/#/!XqBunHwQIXUiqCaoxq:matrix.org if you hit any areas you think we can improve on.
thanks kegan. fredw: i really can't overstate that the best way to get support on this is to come talk to us on #matrix-dev:matrix.org at the time rather than suffer alone :D The doc is still fairly young, and we'll jump on complaints where it's not as clear as it should be!

Somes of these are importable into the backend using Components.utils.importGlobalProperties: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XPCOM/Language_Bindings/Components.utils.importGlobalProperties
My previous patch already used: - Cu.importGlobalProperties for XMLHttpRequest - Console.jsm for console Here is an updated patch that removes the hidden window. It uses Timer.jsm for: - setTimeout - setInterval - clearTimeout - clearInterval The "global.document" is used in matrix-js-sdk in various places, but it is tested before being used. It does not seem to be needed in my testing. The same seems to be true for "global.localStorage" so I've removed my definition from now. It seems that Matrix allows to specify our own implementation. Patrick mentioned https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XPCOM/Reference/Interface/NsIDOMStorageManager Finally "document" is used by browser-request for a IE hack and otherwise window.location is needed: https://github.com/iriscouch/browser-request/blob/master/index.js#L403 For now my workaround is to define a dummy global variable "location" to make is_crossDomain return without error although it now sends "CORS request rejected" error messages. Maybe we can find a replacement for this request API matrix wants, see https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/blob/master/lib/matrix.js#L72 Otherwise we can just modify the code to force is_crossDomain to always return true.

I just tested this briefly and it seems to work enough to get into a room! We likely want to move the "server" variable into a username split (it's also not 100% clear to me what to provide as a username vs. the server, the username seems to already have a server in it...) Looking over the code, it looks fairly reasonable (creating the Matrix client and then hooking up events and handling). There's definitely some things I'd change in there, but I think it's the right approach!

In the Matrix server of my company, the server used to log in is different from the domain in user & room ids. The latter is retrieved from MatrixClient::getDomain() after logging in. I'm not exactly sure how username is handled in Matrix either. > Looking over the code, it looks fairly reasonable (creating the Matrix client and then hooking up events and handling).

I'm importing the latest release v0.7.0 of Matrix JS SDK (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/releases/tag/v0.7.0), that includes my changes. It does not seem to break anything here.
Attachment #8810494 - Attachment is obsolete: true
IIUC, Mozilla has two concepts: 1) "chat" for a general channel with several participants. You need to mention a nickname when writing a message in order to send a notification to the corresponding participant. 2) "conversation" for discussion between two users. Each message sends a notification to your interlocutor, you don't need to mention the nickname. Matrix seems to have similar concepts. However "conversation" is a bit different: a) "conversations" are implemented as a normal room. b) it is possible to open several "conversations" with a same interlocutor. c) it seems possible to invite other people to a "conversation" between 2 users. Once a room for a "conversation" is created, I can use the room id to communicate normally in Thunderbird using the "chat" concept, but that's not really the standard approach. @Kegan Any thought on this? Do you know which API is provided by the JS SDK to manage such "conversation"?

There's probably no exact correspondence. How you map these concepts across depends on what the most common use case is. Note if you plan to add contacts to the contact list, starting a conversation with them will take you to type 2). In case c) you could open a MUC ("chat") after the invite is accepted with the appropriate participants in it. Handling the slightly surprising b) is likely the trickiest part if you want to support it. Not sure what this is used for - the closest existing comparison might be XMPP resources?
@fredw As aleth has said, there is no exact correspondence, it depends what use cases you are aiming for. I agree that b) is slightly surprising: it's a result of having every room be a MUC ("chat") effectively. We have no restrictions on who can invite who, nor that there is a single primary room for correspondence between users. Other clients, such as Riot, add a flag to the room to indicate it is a "Direct Message" which is then treated as a "conversation" between 2 users (same notification semantics as you describe). When the UI populates the "People" section on Riot-Web, it bases that on whether this flag is present. When you "Start a Chat" with a single participant, if there is an existing flagged DM room with that user then the UI takes you to that conversation, else it creates a new DM room. For more information, see http://matrix.org/speculator/spec/HEAD/client_server/unstable.html#direct-messaging for the precise details.
Thanks for the information Kegan, I think this "Direct Message" is what we want. We'll have to take a look into this. Is it already available in the JS SDK?
Flags: needinfo?(kegsay)
Yes, there are 3 things you need to do: - When you create a room that is intended to be a Direct Message, set the flag 'is_direct' to true. In the JS SDK, this is `MatrixClient.createRoom({ is_direct: true });`: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/blob/be232bc1dae463e2ca90fb0710a0220ac068abe9/src/createRoom.js#L63 - When you receive an invite to a room, check if the room is intended to be a Direct Message by inspecting the `m.room.member` event for the `is_direct` flag: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/blob/b5cd540e271498e38661d127212b62f544c95603/src/utils/DMRoomMap.js#L104 - When you create a Direct Message room, or receive an invite to a Direct Message room, or if the user explicitly wants to set a room to be a Direct Message room, get/set the account data according to the specification: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/blob/be232bc1dae463e2ca90fb0710a0220ac068abe9/src/Rooms.js#L95 You can then display the list of Direct Message rooms by inspecting your account data event.

fredw and I also had a conversation on IRC, tl;dr: I'd be happy getting this into a little bit better shape and landing it preffed off.

So we finally got a reply about this "direct message" concept of matrix... 10:22:41 AM - clokep_work: I saw it, but haven't read it yet. 10:22:48 AM - fredw: I was wondering, do you plan to propose this as a GSOC project this summer? 10:29:09 AM - clokep_work: fredw: Maybe, is there even enough there for a GSoC project? 10:34:38 AM - fredw: clokep_work: I would say yes. At least it seems there is a bunch of things to that remains to do if we want to map matrix features to mozilla client (+ some extra features like knowing the last messages read by people, sharing files, etc) 10:35:20 AM - fredw: and maybe it will be necessary to work on the matrix JS SDK too... 10:36:42 AM - clokep_work: fredw: OK. I'd be quite happy to have it, as long as it seems like a project a student can work on for... 8 weeks. 12:05:56 PM - clokep_work: fredw: Just read that email, sounds pretty reasonable. :) 12:08:15 PM - fredw: clokep_work: Yes, I think we now have the correspondence between Matrix features and Mozilla chat features. We "just" have to implement it :-) 12:09:08 PM - fredw: Well, actually I see matrix/riot has more features but I'd already happy to have the basic chat features working in Mozilla. 12:10:16 PM - fredw: Another thing I'm not clear is how we will manage the synchronization between the chat history (saved on the server VS cached by Mozilla). 12:12:21 PM - clokep_work: fredw: I'd definitely be OK landing a version that's "basic" and then adding more features. :) 12:12:34 PM - clokep_work: I'm not sure how to do that either, we might need to add things to the logger framework if we want to fully sync. 12:14:47 PM - fredw: clokep_work: maybe I can try rebasing my patch and have it reviewed and landed (with the matrix pref option disabled)? 12:15:34 PM - fredw: So that we have a base implementation for future work 12:16:50 PM - clokep_work: fredw: Maybe! I have some changes I made to it (mostly notes / comments). 12:16:53 PM - clokep_work: I should probably upload it. 12:20:10 PM - fredw: clokep_work: sounds good yes. I guess I can try to take a look this week-end...

Comment on attachment 8816699 [details] [diff] [review] Part 1 - Import Matrix JS SDK from github.com/matrix-org Review of attachment 8816699 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not really sure what to review here. I suspect we should include a file that says what version (commit) of this SDK was included and how to update it in the future. (And what, if any, modifications were made.)

> I'm not really sure what to review here. I suspect we should include a file that says what version (commit) of this SDK was included and how to update it in the future. (And what, if any, modifications were made.) I've added a README file with explanations. For completeness, I also added missing copyright headers to some files. I think this part is ready now.

> Where are these images from? What's their license? IIRC, I had generated them myself using the icons from the matrix website. Anyway, just to be safe I re-regenerated icons using https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix.to/blob/master/img/matrix-logo.svg as a basis. This repo is licensed under Apache 2. I also added a README.
