A basic bot for matrix.org

It can be used to run basic experiments in chat bot development without going deep in matrix protocol details.

Bot is powered by matrix-js-sdk.

Features:

• on first startup authenticates and obtains access token and device id, stores them to use on subsequent runs
• automatically joins rooms on invitation
• automatically leaves empty rooms
• supports e2e encryption
• automatically verifies all users devices in the room on an attempt to send a message to the e2e enabled room

Usage

npm install matrix-js-basic-bot

const BasicMatrixBot = require('matrix-js-basic-bot');
const md = require('markdown-it')();

async function onMessage(content, sender) {
  try {
    const output = `**Echo**: ${content.body}`;
    await this.sendHtmlNotice(sender.roomId, output, md.render(output));
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
}

async function run() {
  await servers.connect(serversCredentials);

  const bot = new BasicMatrixBot('myCoolBot', 'StrongPassword', 'https://matrix.org', './localstorage');

  bot.on('error', (error) => {
