signalgo

A Go interface for communicating over the signal messenger with the help of AsamK/signal-cli.

There are currently some limitations when using the dbus connection method, as the dbus implementation of signal-cli is still experimental. Those are e.g.:

• Registered as normal messages without any text:
  • Remote delete messages
  • Group changes
• Setting registration pin is not supported
• ...

One should use the CLI connection method if those information and features are required.

Install

Get this package with

go get gopkg.in/DerLukas15/signalgo.v0

Import this package with

import "github.com/DerLukas15/signalgo"

Usage with DBus

Run signal-cli as a deamon.

Create a struct which satisfies the Event interface:

type eventHandler struct {}

func (eH *eventHandler) OnMessage(source, message string, attachments []string, messagetimestamp int64) error {
	fmt.Println("Got Message ", message, " (", messagetimestamp, ") from ", source, " with attachments ", attachments)
	return nil
}

func (eH *eventHandler) OnMessageRead(source string, messagetimestamp int64) error {
	fmt.Println("Message from ", source, " with timestamp ", messagetimestamp, " has been received")
	return nil
}

Now Initialize the package with the eventHandler and everything should work if the signal-cli is installed correctly.

func main() {
	eventHandler := &eventHandler{}
	conn, err := signalgo.NewDBus(true, eventHandler)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	if conn == nil {
		panic(errors.New("No connection"))
	}
  for {
	}
}
