Deprecated, use the new version of this instead: https://github.com/deltachat/dc_cmd_api

Test/demo instructions:

run the example server part

cargo run --example webserver

setup/reset typescript dependencies (this also already builds the client)

./bin/reset_ts.sh

build typescript client:

cd typescript
npm run build

start node debugger in vscode with F5 go to debug console or alternativly you can start typescript/browser-example.html in your browser and use it's console.

dc.openContext().log();
logInfoEvents();
dc.context.getInfo().log();
dc.context.chatList.getChatListIds(0).log();
(async () =>
  await dc.context.chatList.getChatListItemsByIds(
    await dc.context.chatList.getChatListIds(0)
  ))().log();

(async () =>
  await dc.context.chatList.getFullChatById(
    (await dc.context.chatList.getChatListIds(0))[0]
  ))().log();

(async () =>
  await Promise.all(
    (await dc.context.chatList.getChatListIds(0)).map(id => {
        return dc.context.chatList.getFullChatById(id).log()
    })
  ))().log();

the .log() helper function logs the result of the promise:

Promise.prototype.log = function() {
  this.then(console.log).catch(console.error);
  return this;
};
