Threema Gateway API
===================

|Travis| |codecov|

**threema-gateway** is a Python 3 module for the Threema gateway service.
This API can be used to send and receive text messages to and from any Threema
user.

Note
****

On machines where Python 3 is not the default Python runtime, you should
use ``pip3`` instead of ``pip``.

Prerequisites
*************

.. code-block:: bash

    $ sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip

We recommend using `venv`_ to create an isolated Python environment:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ pyvenv venv

You can switch into the created virtual environment *venv* by running
this command:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ source venv/bin/activate

While the virtual environment is active, all packages installed using
``pip`` will be installed into this environment.

To deactivate the virtual environment, just run:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ deactivate

If you want easier handling of your virtualenvs, you might also want to
take a look at `virtualenvwrapper`_.

Installation
------------

If you are using a virtual environment, activate it first.

Install the module by running:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ pip install threema.gateway

The dependency ``libnacl`` will be installed automatically. However, you
may need to install `libsodium`_ for ``libnacl`` to work.

Command Line Usage
******************

The script ``threema-gateway`` provides a command line interface for
the Threema gateway. Run the following command to see usage information:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ threema-gateway --help

Feature Levels

+---------+--------+----------------+---------+--------+-----------+

You can see the implemented feature level by invoking the following
command:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ threema-gateway version

Callback Server
---------------

The callback server can be used to receive messages. The demo script
``threema-callback-server`` prints out received message on the command
line. Run the following command to see usage information.

.. code-block:: bash

    $ threema-callback-server --help

The script resides `here <threema/gateway/bin/callback_server.py>`_.

Contributing
************

If you want to contribute to this project, you should install the
optional ``dev`` requirements of the project in an editable environment:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ git clone https://github.com/lgrahl/threema-msgapi-sdk-python.git
    $ cd threema-msgapi-sdk-python
    $ pip install -e .[dev]

Before creating a pull request, it is recommended to run the following
commands to check for code style violations (``flake8``), optimise
imports (``isort``) and run the project's tests:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ flake8 .
    $ isort -rc .
    $ py.test

You should also run the type checker that might catch some additional bugs:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ mypy .
