Presage

A Rust library that helps building clients for the Signal Messenger, using libsignal-service-rs. It is designed to provide everything you need to get started.

Features:

• Local storage (using sled)
  • Registration/linking
  • Contacts
  • Groups
  • Messages
  • Local encryption (using matrix-sdk-store-encryption)
• Registration
  • SMS
  • Voice call
• Link as secondary device from Android / iOS app (like Signal Desktop)
• Synchronize contacts from primary device
• Receive messages
• Handle groups v2 (and change events)
• Download + decrypt attachments
• Send messages
• Groups support

Instructions

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
presage = { git = "https://github.com/whisperfish/presage" }
presage-store-sled = { git = "https://github.com/whisperfish/presage" }

# For a discussion as to why, see: 
# https://github.com/whisperfish/libsignal-service-rs/tree/93c23cf27d27a17a803e34ea3dd6a82d268fa79e#working-around-the-issue-with-curve25519-dalek
[patch.crates-io]
curve25519-dalek = { git = 'https://github.com/signalapp/curve25519-dalek', tag = 'signal-curve25519-4.1.1' }

and look at the generated Rust documentation of the Manager struct to get started.

Demo CLI

Included in this repository is a CLI very similar (on purpose) to the great signal-cli:

# print help section
cargo run -- --help

# link as secondary device, a PNG with a QR code to scan should open
cargo run -- link-device --device-name presage

# start receiving messages
cargo run -- receive

For using the library, the CLI is a good starting point to learn how the API can be used.
