joinRoom method

  1. String roomIdOrAlias, {
  2. List<String>? serverName,
  3. String? reason,
  4. ThirdPartySigned? thirdPartySigned,
})
inherited

Note that this API takes either a room ID or alias, unlike /rooms/{roomId}/join.

This API starts a user participating in a particular room, if that user is allowed to participate in that room. After this call, the client is allowed to see all current state events in the room, and all subsequent events associated with the room until the user leaves the room.

After a user has joined a room, the room will appear as an entry in the response of the /initialSync and /sync APIs.

roomIdOrAlias The room identifier or alias to join.

serverName The servers to attempt to join the room through. One of the servers must be participating in the room.

reason Optional reason to be included as the reason on the subsequent membership event.

thirdPartySigned If a third_party_signed was supplied, the node must verify that it matches a pending m.room.third_party_invite event in the room, and perform key validity checking if required by the event.

returns room_id: The joined room ID.

Implementation

Future<String> joinRoom(String roomIdOrAlias,
    {List<String>? serverName,
    String? reason,
    ThirdPartySigned? thirdPartySigned}) async {
  final requestUri = Uri(
      path: '_api/client/v3/join/${Uri.encodeComponent(roomIdOrAlias)}',
      queryParameters: {
        if (serverName != null)
          'server_name': serverName.map((v) => v).toList(),
      });
  final request = Request('POST', baseUri!.resolveUri(requestUri));
  request.headers['authorization'] = 'Bearer ${bearerToken!}';
  request.headers['content-type'] = 'application/json';
  request.bodyBytes = utf8.encode(jsonEncode({
    if (reason != null) 'reason': reason,
    if (thirdPartySigned != null)
      'third_party_signed': thirdPartySigned.toJson(),
  }));
  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 json['room_id'] as String;
