Mattermost Usage

Ensure that you have already navigated to your GOPATH and installed the following packages:

• go get -u github.com/nikoksr/notify

Steps for Mattermost Server

These are general and very high level instructions

1. Create a new Mattermost server / Join existing Mattermost server
2. Make sure your Username/loginID have the OAuth permission scope(s): create_post
3. Copy the Channel ID of the channel you want to post a message to. You can grab the Channel ID in channel info. example: yfgstwuisnshydhd
4. Now you should be good to use the code below

Sample Code

package main

import (
    "os"

    "github.com/nikoksr/notify"
    "github.com/nikoksr/notify/service/mattermost"
)

func main() {

    // Init notifier
    notifier := notify.New()
    ctx := context.Background()

    // Provide your Mattermost server url
    mattermostService := mattermost.New("https://myserver.cloud.mattermost.com")

    // Provide username as loginID and password to login into above server.
    // NOTE: This generates auth token which will get expired, invoking this method again
    // after expiry will generate new token and uses for further requests.
    err := mattermostService.LoginWithCredentials(ctx, "[email protected]", "somepassword")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }

    // Passing a Mattermost channel/chat id as receiver for our messages.
    // Where to send our messages.
    mattermostService.AddReceivers("CHANNEL_ID")

    // Tell our notifier to use the Mattermost service. You can repeat the above process
    // for as many services as you like and just tell the notifier to use them.
    notifier.UseServices(mattermostService)

    // Add presend and postsend hooks that you need to execute before every requests and after
    // every response respectively. Multiple presend and postsend are executed in the order defined here.
    // refer service/http for the more info.
    // PreSend hook
    mattermostService.PreSend(func(req *stdhttp.Request) error {
        log.Printf("Sending message to %s server", req.URL)
        return nil
    })
    // PostSend hook
    mattermostService.PostSend(func(req *stdhttp.Request, resp *stdhttp.Response) error {
        log.Printf("Message sent to %s server with status %d", req.URL, resp.StatusCode)
        return nil
    })

    // Send a message
    err = notifier.Send(
        ctx,
        "Hello from notify :wave:\n",
        "Message written in Go!",
    )
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }

}
