JoinAndSayHello

JoinAndSayHello Bot

Overview

This bot demonstrates how to join and participate in MLS (Messaging Layer Security) group conversations using the Vector SDK. It handles both private direct messages and group messages, automatically responding with "Hello World" to any message it receives.

Features

• Handles private direct messages
• Joins MLS group conversations when invited
• Responds to group messages with "Hello World"
• Demonstrates MLS group messaging functionality

Requirements

• Rust toolchain (stable version)
• Cargo package manager

Dependencies

• vector_sdk
• tokio

Setup and Usage

Running the Bot

To start the bot, use the following command from the repository root:

cargo run --manifest-path=Group/JoinAndSayHello/Cargo.toml --bin join_and_say_hello

Or navigate to the project directory and run:

cd Group/JoinAndSayHello
cargo run

Configuration

The bot uses a hardcoded private key for demonstration purposes. In production, you should:

1. Generate your own keys using Keys::generate()
2. Store the private key securely
3. Use environment variables or configuration files for sensitive data

How It Works

1. The bot initializes with a specific private key
2. It listens for gift-wrapped messages (encrypted invitations)
3. When it receives a private direct message, it responds with "Hello World"
4. When it receives an MLS group welcome message, it joins the group
5. When it receives a group message, it responds with "Hello World"
