dart-threads-client
Warning: The dart-threads-client library is temporarily deprecated as remote DB support not currently up-to-date with the Textile Hub and so will not work. If you are waiting for Dart support, please see here.

Table of Contents
Getting Started
In the pubspec.yaml
of your project, add the following dependency:
dependencies:
...
threads_client: "^0.x.x"
Connect to a Threads Daemon
You can use Textile's hosted daemons or run your own.
Use hosted Threads
Run your own daemon
You need to run a threads daemon available to the client.
git clone git@github.com:textileio/go-threads.git
cd go-threads
go run threadsd/main.go -debug
Usage
Read the Complete API Documentation.
Create a DB
import 'package:threads_client/threads_client.dart' as threads;
void main(List<String> args) async {
final client = threads.Client();
final dbId = 'bafk7ayo2xuuafgx6ubbcn2lro3s7oixgujdda6shv4';
final creds = threads.Creds.fromStrings(dbId);
await client.newDB(creds);
}
Run Threads using hosted Textile API
import 'package:textile/textile.dart' as textile;
import 'package:threads_client/threads_client.dart' as threads;
const APP_TOKEN = '<app token>';
const DEVICE_ID = '<uuid>';
void main(List<String> args) async {
final config = textile.ThreadsConfig(APP_TOKEN, DEVICE_ID);
final client = threads.Client(config: config);
final dbId = 'bafk7ayo2xuuafgx6ubbcn2lro3s7oixgujdda6shv4';
final creds = threads.Creds.fromStrings(dbId);
await client.newDB(creds);
}
Further examples
You can find a good overview of Client methods in the test suite.
Add custom metadata to requests
For example, add a custom auth token to the header of each request.
final config = ThreadsConfig(
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 6006,
callOptionsMetaData: {
'authorization': 'Bearer 3f2950d0-5522-4425-829f-75894e233442'
}
);
// Create a new threads client
client = Client(config);
Development

:
git clone git@github.com:textileio/dart-threads-client.git
cd dart-threads-client
