Matrix JS client example

This repository contains a simple Matrix client written in JavaScript to run in the current Node.js LTS version. It uses the Matrix JS SDK to:

• login to Matrix as an existing user using m.login.password
• skeleton for adding the remaining code to join a room and send a message to that room

The develop branch contains a full example, where the bot waits till someone replies back “hello”.

Install

• Install Node: Use the latest Node.js LTS (v14.15.0 as of this writing).
  • Make sure you have npm or yarn on the PATH.
• Install depencendies: In the root directory, run $ npm install
• Add credentials: Copy credentials.sh to local.credentials.sh, and add Matrix credentials in the new file
