getVersions method

Future<GetVersionsResponse> getVersions()

Gets the versions of the specification supported by the server.

Values will take the form vX.Y or rX.Y.Z in historical cases. See the Specification Versioning for more information.

The server may additionally advertise experimental features it supports through unstable_features. These features should be namespaced and may optionally include version information within their name if desired. Features listed here are not for optionally toggling parts of the Matrix specification and should only be used to advertise support for a feature which has not yet landed in the spec. For example, a feature currently undergoing the proposal process may appear here and eventually be taken off this list once the feature lands in the spec and the server deems it reasonable to do so. Servers may wish to keep advertising features here after they've been released into the spec to give clients a chance to upgrade appropriately. Additionally, clients should avoid using unstable features in their stable releases.

Implementation

Future<GetVersionsResponse> getVersions() async {
  final requestUri = Uri(path: '_matrix/client/versions');
  final request = Request('GET', baseUri!.resolveUri(requestUri));
  final response = await httpClient.send(request);
  final responseBody = await response.stream.toBytes();
  if (response.statusCode != 200) unexpectedResponse(response, responseBody);
  final responseString = utf8.decode(responseBody);
  final json = jsonDecode(responseString);
  return GetVersionsResponse.fromJson(json as Map<String, Object?>);
