Maintenance?

[celaus]

Hi - it looks like a lot of the integrations are being abandoned (i.e. all bot sdks/integrations). Would anyone be able to elaborate on the plans of maintaining (or at least merging the 24! PRs, I guess)?

Thanks - Rocket chat looks great, but bots/other integrations are important for our use case...

Yesterday in the community open call they (Guilherme Gazzo) said they are moving to a "monorepo". As soon as their "internal SDK" reaches parity regarding features with this repo (Rocket.Chat.js.SDK) they plan to deprecate it.

@rc: Feel free to correct me here.

we want to keep all the sdk "common" capabilities (used cross client applications under the monorepo).
but we know this library is common used for bots proposing and there are features that makes only sense for that case.

So I would say we are going to move this repository from Rocket.Chat.js.SDK to Rocket.Chat.BOT.SDK (or something like that) soon.

@mmass you can use: @ + github_username to be sure people will be notified

@ggazzo i had no one particular in mind to notify. Thanks for your confirmation of the roadmap for this repo.

@mmaass Hi! Any news on SDK updates?

Is there an alternative to the JS SDK in a monorepo?
Asking because of #169 😖

I wonder what to use today to connect to RocketChat Server and Post messages when writing a node.js based Chat Bot?

Can’t find anything besides the JS SDK and athis https://github.com/RocketChat/botkit-rocketchat-connector approach in the docs. Teh latter one seems to be as unmaintained as the SDK.

I was just digging through the monorepo and found these:

1. https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/blob/develop/packages/apps-engine
2. https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/tree/develop/packages/api-client

Both lack the needed documentation 🤔

Any other ideas?
