dart-threads-client

Warning: The dart-threads-client library is temporarily deprecated as remote DB support not currently up-to-date with the Textile Hub and so will not work. If you are waiting for Dart support, please see here.

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

Textile Threads.

Run your own daemon

You need to run a threads daemon available to the client.

git clone [email protected]: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.

Threads Client Tests

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

Install

Run the daemon, as above. Next, install and run the Dart threads_client:

git clone [email protected]:textileio/dart-threads-client.git
cd dart-threads-client
pub get

Run tests

dart test/threads_client_test.dart

Run example

dart example/helloworld.dart
