=TITLE class Matrix::Client

=SUBTITLE Client API for Matrix

    class Matrix::Client does Matrix::Client::Requester {}

The main object in the module. The C<Matrix::Client> is used to talk to a
Matrix home server abstracting the HTTP requests.

The client is used for example to join rooms, receive/send messages, etc.

On server errors, all methods will throw a L<X::Matrix::Response> exception.

=head1 Methods

=head2 new

    sub new(Str :$home-server, Str :$access-token?, Str :$device-id?)

Creates a C<Matrix::Client> pointing to a home server. If no C<$access-token> is
passed to the constructor, the client needs to call L<login> to make authorized
calls to the API.

=head2 login

    multi method login(Str $username, Str $password)
    multi method login(Str :$username, Str :$password)

Logs in with the C<$username> and C<password>. If C<device-id> is setted
before the C<login> call, it will register that C<device-id> in the server
invalidating any previously associated access token to this C<device-id>.
Otherwise the home server will auto-generate one.

On a failed login attempt, a L<X::Matrix::Response> is raised with a code
of C<“M_FORBIDDEN”>

=head2 logout

    method logout()

Invalidates the access token, so that it can no longer be used for authorization.

=head2 register

    method register($username, $password, Bool :$bind-email? = False)

Register a B<user> account in the home server. 

If C<$bind-email> is true, the server binds the email used for authentication
to the Matrix ID with the ID Server.

In case there's an error with the registration, a L<X::Matrix::Response> is raised
with one of the following C<code>s:

=item C<M_USER_IN_USE> The desired user ID is already taken.
=item C<M_INVALID_USERNAME>: The desired user ID is not a valid user name.
=item C<M_EXCLUSIVE>: The desired user ID is in the exclusive namespace claimed by an application service.

=head2 profile

    method profile(Str :$user-id?)

Get the combined profile information for this user. With no C<$user-id>
L<profile> will provide the profile data associated with the client
account.

It returns a C<Hash> that can contains C<avatar_url> and/or C<displayname>.

=head2 display-name

    method display-name(Str :$user-id?)

Get the display-name of the C<$user-id>. With no C<$user-id> it will return
the display name associated with the client account.

=head2 change-display-name 

    method change-display-name(Str:D $display-name!)

Change the client account display name.

=head2 avatar-url

    method avatar-url(Str :$user-id?)

Get the avatar url for a given C<$user-id>. With no C<$user-id> it will return
the avatar url associated with the client account.

=head2 change-avatar

    multi method change-avatar(IO::Path $avatar)
    multi method change-avatar(Str:D $mxc-url!)

Changes the avatar for the client account.

Passing a C<IO::Path> to the method will upload the image to the server
and then set that uploaded image as avatar.

=head2 whoami

    method whoami

Returns the user id of the client account.

=head2 presence

    method presence(Matrix::Client:D: $user-id? --> Matrix::Response::Presence)

Query the presence status for an user. if no C<$user-id> is passed as argument,
it will return the presence of the user associated with the client.

=head2 set-presence

    method set-presence(Matrix::Client:D: Str $presence, Str :$status-message = "")

Sets the manually the presence of the client account. The C<$presence> argument
must be C<“online”>, C<“offline”> or C<“unavailable”>.

=head2 sync

    multi method sync(:$since = "")
    multi method sync(Str :$sync-filter, Str :$since = "")
    multi method sync(Hash :$sync-filter is copy, :$since = "")

Gets the client's state with the latest state on the server. It returns
a L<Matrix::Response::Sync> with the initial snapshot or delta.

C<$since> is necessary to get the incremental deltas to the states. The C<$since>
value is retrieved from the C<next-batch> in the L<Matrix::Response::Sync>.

The C<sync-filter> is the filter that will be applied to the sync. It will encode
it to a JSON string if it isn't a C<Str> already. For more information about
filters you can check the L<official spec|https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.3.0.html#filtering>

    # Filter to apply to the sync.
    my $sync-filter = { room => timeline => limit => 1 };
    my $sync = $client.sync(:$sync-filter);
    # Get the next batch to get a delta on the sync.
    my $since = $sync.next-batch;

    # This will return the same $sync as above.
    my $same-sync = $client.sync(:$sync-filter);
    # This won't
    my $new-sync = $client.sync(:$sync-filter, :$since);


=head2 create-room

    method create-room(
        Bool :$public = False,
        *%args --> Matrix::Client::Room
    )

Create a room in the home server. Possible arguments for C<*%args> are:

=item visibility: C<“public”> or C<“private”>.
=item room_alias_name: A C<Str> for a room alias.
=item name: A C<Str> for the room name.
=item topic: A C<Str> for the room topic.
=item invite: A list of C<Str> of user ids to invite to the room.
=item preset: C<“private_chat”>, C<“trusted_private_chat”> or C<“public_chat”>.
=item is_direct: A C<Bool> to make the room as a direct chat.

The parameters can be typed with C<-> instead C<_> for style purposes, the method
will change those characters to match the Matrix API. The list can be found
L<here|https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.3.0.html#post-matrix-client-r0-createroom>

The C<$public> argument sets the C<visibility> to “public”, giving precedence to the C<visibility>
in C<%*args>.

=head2 join-room

    method join-room($room-id!)

Joins a room.

The C<$room-id> can be either a room id (!superhash:server) or an alias (#alias:server)
since it uses the L</join/{roomIdOrAlias}|https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.3.0.html#post-matrix-client-r0-join-roomidoralias>
endpoint.

=head2 leave-room

    method leave-room($room-id)

The C<$room-id> must be a room id (!superhash:server).

=head2 joined-rooms

    method joined-rooms(--> Seq)

    method send(Str $room-id, Str $body, :$type? = "m.text")

Send a message event to a room.

C<$room-id> must be a room id with the form “!hast:server”. As for now the C<send> method
only sends C<“m.text”> events. In the future it will be extended to support all the
L<Room events|https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.3.0.html#room-events>.

=head2 upload

    method upload(IO::Path $path, Str $filename?)
