    Class TimelineWindow

    Index

    Constructors

    • Construct a TimelineWindow.

      This abstracts the separate timelines in a Matrix Room into a single iterable thing. It keeps track of the start and endpoints of the window, which can be advanced with the help of pagination requests.

      Before the window is useful, it must be initialised by calling TimelineWindow#load.

      Note that the window will not automatically extend itself when new events are received from /sync; you should arrange to call TimelineWindow#paginate on RoomEvent.Timeline events.

      Note that constructing an instance of this class for a room adds a listener for RoomEvent.Timeline events which is never removed. In theory this should not cause a leak since the EventEmitter uses weak mappings.

      Parameters

      • client: MatrixClient

        MatrixClient to be used for context/pagination requests.

      • timelineSet: EventTimelineSet

        The timelineSet to track

      • opts: IOpts = {}

        Configuration options for this window

      Returns TimelineWindow

    Methods

    • Check if this window can be extended

      This returns true if we either have more events, or if we have a pagination token which means we can paginate in that direction. It does not necessarily mean that there are more events available in that direction at this time.

      Parameters

      • direction: Direction

        EventTimeline.BACKWARDS to check if we can paginate backwards; EventTimeline.FORWARDS to check if we can go forwards

      Returns boolean

      true if we can paginate in the given direction

    • Try to extend the window using events that are already in the underlying TimelineIndex.

      Parameters

      • direction: Direction

        EventTimeline.BACKWARDS to try extending it backwards; EventTimeline.FORWARDS to try extending it forwards.

      • size: number

        number of events to try to extend by.

      Returns boolean

      true if the window was extended, false otherwise.

    • Get the TimelineIndex of the window in the given direction.

      Parameters

      • direction: Direction

        EventTimeline.BACKWARDS to get the TimelineIndex at the start of the window; EventTimeline.FORWARDS to get the TimelineIndex at the end.

      Returns null | TimelineIndex

      The requested timeline index if one exists, null otherwise.

    • Initialise the window to point at a given event, or the live timeline

      Parameters

      • OptionalinitialEventId: string

        If given, the window will contain the given event

      • initialWindowSize: number = 20

        Size of the initial window

      Returns Promise<void>

    • Attempt to extend the window

      Parameters

      • direction: Direction

        EventTimeline.BACKWARDS to extend the window backwards (towards older events); EventTimeline.FORWARDS to go forwards.

      • size: number

        number of events to try to extend by. If fewer than this number are immediately available, then we return immediately rather than making an API call.

      • makeRequest: boolean = true

        whether we should make API calls to fetch further events if we don't have any at all. (This has no effect if the room already knows about additional events in the relevant direction, even if there are fewer than 'size' of them, as we will just return those we already know about.)

      • requestLimit: number = DEFAULT_PAGINATE_LOOP_LIMIT

        limit for the number of API requests we should make.

      Returns Promise<boolean>

      Promise which resolves to a boolean which is true if more events were successfully retrieved.

    • Remove delta events from the start or end of the timeline.

      Parameters

      • delta: number

        number of events to remove from the timeline

      • startOfTimeline: boolean

        if events should be removed from the start of the timeline.

      Returns void
