Use cases ### 6.1. Exchanging messages 1. Sending message: ```json { "id": "abcd", "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:message", "to": ["@user2@cadmium.org"], "payload": { "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:message:types:general", "content": { "text": "hello world", } } } ``` **Successful response**: ```json { "id": "abcd", "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:message", "from": "cadmium.org", "ok": true, "payload": { "messageID": "3b5135a5-aff5-4396-a629-a254f383e82f", "originServerTimestamp": 1599327584 } } ``` **Error response**: ```json { "id": "abcd", "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:message", "from": "cadmium.org", "ok": false, "payload": { "errID": "urn:cadmium:chats:private:banned", "errText": "The user banned you" } } ``` 2. Receiving message on other side: ```json { "id": "abcd", "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:message", "from": "@user1@cadmium.im", "ok": true, "payload": { "messageID": "3b5135a5-aff5-4396-a629-a254f383e82f", "originServerTimestamp": 1599327584, "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:message:types:general", "content": { "text": "hello world", } } } ``` ### 6.2. Exchanging media 1. Upload the media to Content Service (explanation out of scope of this document) 2. Send message containing the metadata of uploaded media: ```json { "id": "abcd", "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:message", "to": ["@user2@cadmium.im"], "payload": { "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:message-types:general", "content": { "text": "", "media": [ { "id": "4a771ac1-f0b2-4a4a-9700-f2a26fa2bb67@content.cadmium.im" } ] } } } ``` **Response**: ```json { "id": "abcd", "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:message", "from": "cadmium.im", "ok": true, "payload": { "messageID": "7a1b9a72-1677-4476-9b22-ef7fdbcff52e", "originServerTimestamp": 1599329232 } } ``` **Note**: The Cadmium server will validate media ID which was provided by client. If it doesn't exist or invalid, server will respond with corresponding error. 3. Receive message with media on other side: ```json { "id": "defg", "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:message", "from": "@user1@cadmium.im", "ok": true, "payload": { "messageID": "7a1b9a72-1677-4476-9b22-ef7fdbcff52e", "originServerTimestamp": 1599329232, "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:message:types:general", "content": { "text": "", "media": [ { "id": "4a771ac1-f0b2-4a4a-9700-f2a26fa2bb67@content.cadmium.im", "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:media:photo", "attrs": { "width": 512, "height": 512 }, "size": 96413, // 96kb } ] } } } ``` ### 6.3. Read messages 1. Read message ```json { "id": "abcd", "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:read", "to": ["@user1@cadmium.org"], "payload": { "messageID": "7a1b9a72-1677-4476-9b22-ef7fdbcff52e", } } ``` Response: ```json { "id": "abcd", "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:read", "from": "cadmium.im", "ok": true, "payload": {} } ``` 2. Receive notification about message reading on other side: ```json { "id": "defg", "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:read", "from": "@user2@cadmium.im", "ok": true, "payload": { "messageID": "7a1b9a72-1677-4476-9b22-ef7fdbcff52e" } } ``` ### 6.4. Typing message 1. Typing message ```json { "id": "abcd", "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:typing", "to": ["@user1@cadmium.org"], "payload": {} } ``` 2. Receive notification about typing message on other side: ```json { "id": "defg", "type": "urn:cadmium:chats:typing", "from": "@user2@cadmium.im", "ok": true, "payload": {} } ``` ## 7. Business Rules ### 7.1. Typing message notification - Client sends typing notification message every second when he is typing. If there is no notifications about typing more than one second then consider that user is stopped the typing. ### 7.2. Message/Media ID - This is typically Federated Entity ID of message/media (as described and reserved in core specs) which was stored in server's database/content service storage. ## 8. JSON Schema ### Message (`urn:cadmium:chats:message`) **Request**: ```typescript interface MessagePayload { messageID?: EntityID; // the message id (stored in chat timeline) - not required when sending type: string; // the type of message replyTo?: EntityID; // message id to which this message is replying originServerTimestamp?: number; // unix timestamp of received message on the origin server (not required when sending) forwardedFrom?: EntityID | string; // entity from which this message was forwarded (may be hidden, so instead client need to show the display name of entity) content: Content // the payload of message (depends on type) } ``` **Response**: ```typescript interface SendMessageResponsePayload { messageID: EntityID; // the message id (stored in chat timeline) originServerTimestamp: number; // unix timestamp of sent message on the origin server } ``` #### Content sections - `urn:cadmium:chats:message:types:general`: ```typescript interface GeneralMessageContent { text: string; // the text (body) of message mentioned?: boolean; // is current entity was mentioned in this message media?: Media[]; // media content } interface Media { id: string; // media ID type: string; // type of media size: number; // size of media in bytes fileName?: string; // filename of media (with optional extension by dot) attrs: MediaAttrs; // media payload (additional attributes) } // Media attributes definitions interface MediaAttrs {} // urn:cadmium:chats:media:audio interface AudioAttrs : MediaAttrs { voice: bool; // whether it is voice message duration: number; // duration of audio title?: string; // audio title artist?: string; // audio artist voiceWaveForm?: []byte; // voice wave form } // urn:cadmium:chats:media:sticker interface StickerAttrs : MediaAttrs { associatedEmoji: string; // the associated emoji with this stickerSetID: string; // id of sticker set which is associated with this sticker isAnimated: boolean; // is client need to animate this sticker } // urn:cadmium:chats:media:video interface VideoAttrs : MediaAttrs { isVideoMessage: bool; // is this a rounded video message duration: number; // duration of video width: number; // width of video height: number; // height of video } // urn:cadmium:chats:media:photo interface PhotoAttrs : MeditAttrs { width: number; // width of photo height: number; // height of photo } ``` - `urn:cadmium:chats:message:types:geolocation`: ```typescript interface GeolocationMessageContent { lat: number; // the GPS latitude lon: number; // the GPS longitude } ``` ### Read message notification (`urn:cadmium:chats:read`) ```typescript interface ReadMessageNotifPayload { messageID: EntityID; // the message id of read message } ```
