Installation

To install Chatango-Java-API, I suggest you use maven.
You can use JitPack to resolve the API's releases.

<repositories>
  ...
  <!-- JitPack - Resolve github releases -->
  <repository>
    <id>jitpack.io</id>
    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>

And then add the dependency.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.lenis0012</groupId>
    <artifactId>chatango-java-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.1</version>
</dependency>

Usage

To connect to a room and interact with it, you should simple call ChatangoAPI.createBot

import com.lenis0012.chatango.bot.engine.Engine;
import com.lenis0012.chatango.bot.ChatangoAPI;
import com.lenis0012.chatango.bot.api.Message;
import java.util.Arrays;

public class MyChatangoApp {
    public void main(String[] args) {
        // Configure
        Engine bot = ChatangoAPI.createBot("username", "password");
        bot.init(Arrays.asList("myroom"));
        
        // Connect
        bot.start();
        
        // Hello world
        Message hello = new Message("Hello world!");
        bot.getRoom("myroom").message(hello);
    }
}

Congratulations, you are now connected to chatango.
Let's make a simple echo client, returning each message being sent.

import com.lenis0012.chatango.bot.engine.Engine;
import com.lenis0012.chatango.bot.ChatangoAPI;
import com.lenis0012.chatango.bot.api.Message;
import com.lenis0012.chatango.bot.api.EventListener;
import com.lenis0012.chatango.bot.events.MessageReceiveEvent;
import java.util.Arrays;

public class MyEchoClient implements EventListener {
    public void setup(Engine engine) {
        ChatangoAPI.getLogger().info("Setting up echo client!");
        engine.getRoom("myroom").getEventManager().addListener(this);
    }
    
    public void onMessage(MessageReceiveEvent event) {
        Message response = new Message(event.getMessage().getText());
        event.getRoom().message(response);
    }
}

That's it, simply call EchoClient.setup from your MyChatangoApp class and you are all set.
For the rest of the features, you'll have to play around and see for yourself.
