Notable TypeScript-to-Kotlin decisions:

  • Functions that return Promises become suspend functions.
  • I decided to leave listeners as they are and not use Flow in the public interface. These listeners will be invoked synchronously with the events they are listening to. This approach makes it easy to provide extension functions for an idiomatic Flow interface on one hand, and on the other hand, it gives maximum flexibility for SDK users to utilize other reactive libraries like Reactor or RxJava.
  • The presence data type is Any for now.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Introduced a comprehensive chat client interface for managing chat functionality.
    • Added support for connection management and occupancy metrics.
    • Implemented presence management, typing indicators, and reaction handling.
    • Enhanced message handling with structured query and sending capabilities.
    • Defined structured logging options for better error tracking.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved error handling mechanisms across various chat functionalities.
  • Documentation

    • Updated documentation for new interfaces and classes to enhance developer understanding.
  • Chores

    • Adjusted configuration settings to allow shorter function names in the codebase.

Based on Ably Chat JS SDK repo at 0b4b0f8.

This is just a first attempt and all the decisions can be revisited.

Notable TypeScript-to-Kotlin decisions:

- Functions that return Promises become suspend functions.
- I decided to leave listeners as they are and not use `Flow` in the public interface. These listeners will be invoked synchronously with the events they are listening to. This approach makes it easy to provide extension functions for an idiomatic `Flow` interface on one hand, and on the other hand, it gives maximum flexibility for SDK users to utilize other reactive libraries like Reactor or RxJava.
- The presence data type is `Any` for now.

Walkthrough

The changes introduce a comprehensive chat functionality within the Ably chat system. New interfaces, data classes, and enumerations provide structured management of chat rooms, messages, presence, reactions, typing, and connection states. Enhanced logging and configuration options, alongside error handling mechanisms, improve the robustness of the chat application. A minor adjustment to the code quality tool configuration is also included, allowing for shorter function names.

Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table.
    • @coderabbitai show all the console.log statements in this repository.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

@ttypic, here's a detailed plan for revisiting the resolution policy of the send method in the Messages interface:

1. Current Behavior

The send method in the Messages interface currently exhibits non-deterministic behavior. Specifically, the suspending function may resolve either before or after the message is received from the realtime channel. This means that the message could appear in a callback to subscribe before the function resolves, which could lead to confusion and inconsistent user experiences.

2. Desired Behavior

The goal is to make the behavior deterministic, ensuring that the suspending function resolves only after the message has been received and processed by the realtime channel. This will provide a more predictable and consistent experience for developers using the SDK, as they can rely on the function's resolution to indicate that the message has been fully handled.

3. Implementation Strategy

  • Step 1: Investigate the Ably Realtime API: Review the Ably Realtime API documentation to understand how message delivery and acknowledgment are handled. Identify any existing mechanisms that can be leveraged to ensure that the send method resolves only after the message is confirmed to be received.

  • Step 2: Modify the send Method: Update the implementation of the send method to include a confirmation step. This could involve waiting for an acknowledgment from the realtime channel before resolving the suspending function.

  • Step 3: Update Documentation: Modify the method's documentation to reflect the new deterministic behavior, ensuring that developers are aware of the change and how it impacts their use of the send method.

4. Testing and Validation

  • Unit Tests: Create unit tests that simulate various scenarios, including sending messages and verifying that the suspending function resolves only after the message is received.

  • Integration Tests: Perform integration tests with the Ably Realtime service to ensure that the new behavior works correctly in a real-world environment.

  • Performance Testing: Assess the impact of the new behavior on performance, particularly in scenarios with high message throughput. Ensure that the confirmation step does not introduce significant latency.

5. Potential Challenges

  • Network Latency: Waiting for an acknowledgment from the realtime channel could introduce additional latency, especially in cases of poor network conditions. This needs to be carefully managed to avoid degrading the user experience.

  • Error Handling: Consider how to handle cases where the acknowledgment is delayed or fails to arrive. Implement appropriate error handling and retry mechanisms to ensure robustness.

Would you like me to open a GitHub issue to track this task, or is there anything else you'd like to adjust in this plan?

Learning: When revisiting the resolution policy of the `send` method in the `Messages` interface, the goal is to make the behavior deterministic, ensuring that the suspending function resolves only after the message has been received and processed by the realtime channel.

Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.

Seems like the humans are having a chat. I'll hop back into my burrow for now. If you need me again, just tag @coderabbitai in a new comment, and I'll come hopping out!

@jamienewcomb, it seems that the GitHub App (CodeRabbit) does not have the necessary permissions to create issues in the repository, as the command to open the issue failed with the error: GraphQL: Resource not accessible by integration (createIssue).

I recommend manually creating the issue using the detailed plan provided earlier. If you need any further assistance with the issue creation or anything else, feel free to ask!

@jamienewcomb, it seems that the permission issue still persists, and the GitHub App (CodeRabbit) does not have the necessary access to create issues in the repository. I recommend manually creating the issue using the detailed plan provided earlier, or you could check the app's permissions to ensure it has the required access.

Let me know if you need any further assistance!

Also added TODO for `Messages#send` function, right now in the Chat JS documentation mentioned that it's behavior is non-deterministic, which is not very good for DX

Sorry for being late to the party - this property should be rooms, which provides a map-like structure of roomID -> Room
