[Documentation](https://docs.rs/elefren/)
|
|
|
|
A wrapper around the [API](https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/docs/Using-the-API/API.md#tag) for [Mastodon](https://mastodon.social/)
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
To add `elefren` to your project, add the following to the
|
|
`[dependencies]` section of your `Cargo.toml`
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
elefren = "0.18"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
To use this crate in your project, add this to your crate root (lib.rs, main.rs, etc):
|
|
|
|
```rust,ignore
|
|
extern crate elefren;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```rust,no_run
|
|
extern crate elefren;
|
|
|
|
use std::error::Error;
|
|
|
|
use elefren::prelude::*;
|
|
use elefren::helpers::toml; // requires `features = ["toml"]`
|
|
use elefren::helpers::cli;
|
|
|
|
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<Error>> {
|
|
let mastodon = if let Ok(data) = toml::from_file("mastodon-data.toml") {
|
|
Mastodon::from(data)
|
|
} else {
|
|
register()?
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
let you = mastodon.verify_credentials()?;
|
|
|
|
println!("{:#?}", you);
|
|
|
|
Ok(())
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
fn register() -> Result<Mastodon, Box<Error>> {
|
|
let registration = Registration::new("https://mastodon.social")
|
|
.client_name("elefren-examples")
|
|
.build()?;
|
|
let mastodon = cli::authenticate(registration)?;
|
|
|
|
// Save app data for using on the next run.
|
|
toml::to_file(&*mastodon, "mastodon-data.toml")?;
|
|
|
|
Ok(mastodon)
|
|
}
|
|
```

|
## Relationship to [Mammut](https://github.com/Aaronepower/mammut)
|
|
|
|
This library was forked from Mammut around elefren commit
|
|
6c37ecb1e1ec3aa888711c1fad1a76f3bdf826b3. I started this fork as a
|
|
place to experiment with some of the changes I wanted to make to Mammut,
|
|
and ended up diverging enough that I didn't really want to spend the time
|
|
trying to get everything merged back.
|
|
|
|
Some of the major differences between this and mammut are:
|
|
|
|
* Compatibility with newer mastodon versions. Elefren supports new API
|
|
calls introduced in Mastodon 2.4 and 2.5, and 2.6 support is being
|
|
worked on.
|
|
* Compatibility with other implementations of the Mastodon API. One
|
|
design goal of elefren is to be compatible with as many
|
|
implementations of the Mastodon API as possible. Currently, this means
|
|
the GlitchSoc fork of Mastodon, and Pleroma. I do not guarantee that
|
|
support is 100% there, but if you find any inconsistencies, it is a
|
|
bug and I hope you can take the time to open an issue here
|
|
* Multiple bug fixes
|
|
|
|
I have a couple big features on the horizon, the first being a
|
|
comprehensive test suite that I'm currently working on, which should
|
|
help us test for inconsistencies and issues between the different
|
|
versions of the Mastodon API that elefren aims to support. After that, I
|
|
will be trying to get support for the Mastodon Streaming API merged in,
|
|
though that might need to wait until rust's async story is a little more
|
|
stable.
