Documentation

A wrapper around the API for Mastodon

Installation

To add elefren to your project, add the following to the [dependencies] section of your Cargo.toml

elefren = "0.23"

Alternatively, run the following command:

$ cargo add elefren

Example

In your Cargo.toml, make sure you enable the toml feature:

[dependencies]
elefren = { version = "0.22", features = ["toml"] }

// src/main.rs

use std::error::Error;

use elefren::prelude::*;
use elefren::helpers::toml; // requires `features = ["toml"]`
use elefren::helpers::cli;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    let mastodon = if let Ok(data) = toml::from_file("mastodon-data.toml") {
        Mastodon::from(data)
    } else {
        register()?
    };

    let you = mastodon.verify_credentials().await?;

    println!("{:#?}", you);

    Ok(())
}

fn register() -> Result<Mastodon, Box<dyn Error>> {
    let registration = Registration::new("https://botsin.space")
                                    .client_name("elefren-examples")
                                    .build()?;
    let mastodon = cli::authenticate(registration)?;

    // Save app data for using on the next run.
    toml::to_file(&*mastodon, "mastodon-data.toml")?;

    Ok(mastodon)
}

It also supports the Streaming API:

use elefren::prelude::*;
use elefren::entities::event::Event;

use std::error::Error;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<Error>> {
    let client = Mastodon::from(Data::default());

    client.stream_user()
        .await?
        .try_for_each(|event| {
            match event {
                Event::Update(ref status) => { /* .. */ },
                Event::Notification(ref notification) => { /* .. */ },
                Event::Delete(ref id) => { /* .. */ },
                Event::FiltersChanged => { /* .. */ },
            }
        })
        .await?;
    Ok(())
}
