The following dependencies are included as submodules : - uthash from http://troydhanson.github.io/uthash/

Manual Installation

This project is built using cmake :

git submodule update --init
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make install

You can customise the build with the following cmake flags :

CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE : Debug|Release|RelWithDebInfo|MinSizeRel, defaults to Release if using a tarball, and Debug if using the git tree
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX : path, defaults to /usr/local
DEBUG_WEBSOCKETS : ON|OFF, defaults to OFF

For example this activates websocket debugging for a debug build and installs the tools for your current user :

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local -DDEBUG_WEBSOCKETS=ON

Configuration

Here is the default configuration :

web_url = "http://hurricane:3000";
wss_url = "ws://hurricane:3000/websocket";
login = "test";
password = "test";

Only the web and websocket urls are mandatory. If the login and password are omitted you will be prompted for those.

Usage

rocket_close_direct_conversations

This tools lists your active direct conversations and allows you to specify conversations to close from the cli. It is equivalent of the "Hide Room" feature in the gui, it will not make you really leave a channel. I use it to quickly remove clutter. An empty line will exit the program.

Example use :

julien@hurricane ~/git/rocket-cli-client/build (master *%) $ close_direct_conversations/rocket_close_direct_conversations
Active direct conversations :
        foo.bar
        mr.somebody
Direct conversation to close: foo.bar
{"success":true}
Direct conversation to close:
julien@hurricane ~/git/rocket-cli-client/build (master *%) $

rocket_maar

This tools marks all active subscriptions as read, not channels or groups at the moment. It is usefull when returning from a holliday.

Example use :

julien@hurricane ~/git/rocket-cli-client/build (master *%) $ maar/rocket_maar
The following active subscriptions are marked as read :
foo.bar
mr.somebody
julien@hurricane ~/git/rocket-cli-client/build (master *%) $
