Table of Contents #
Getting Started #
In the pubspec.yaml
of your project, add the following dependency:
dependencies:
...
threads_client: "^0.x.x"
Connect to a Threads Daemon #
You can use Textile's hosted daemons or run your own.
Use hosted Threads
Run your own daemon
You need to run a threads daemon available to the client.
git clone git@github.com:textileio/go-threads.git
cd go-threads
go run threadsd/main.go -debug
Usage #
Read the Complete API Documentation.
Create a DB #
import 'package:threads_client/threads_client.dart' as threads;
void main(List<String> args) async {
final client = threads.Client();
final dbId = 'bafk7ayo2xuuafgx6ubbcn2lro3s7oixgujdda6shv4';
final creds = threads.Creds.fromStrings(dbId);
await client.newDB(creds);
}
Run Threads using hosted Textile API #
import 'package:textile/textile.dart' as textile;
import 'package:threads_client/threads_client.dart' as threads;
const APP_TOKEN = '<app token>';
const DEVICE_ID = '<uuid>';
void main(List<String> args) async {
final config = textile.ThreadsConfig(APP_TOKEN, DEVICE_ID);
final client = threads.Client(config: config);
final dbId = 'bafk7ayo2xuuafgx6ubbcn2lro3s7oixgujdda6shv4';
final creds = threads.Creds.fromStrings(dbId);
await client.newDB(creds);
}
Further examples #
You can find a good overview of Client methods in the test suite.
Add custom metadata to requests #
For example, add a custom auth token to the header of each request.
final config = ThreadsConfig(
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 6006,
callOptionsMetaData: {
'authorization': 'Bearer 3f2950d0-5522-4425-829f-75894e233442'
}
);
// Create a new threads client
client = Client(config);
Development #

Run the daemon, as above. Next, install and run the Dart threads_client
:
git clone git@github.com:textileio/dart-threads-client.git
