The IXO Matrix Bot SDK provides encrypted data storage, secure messaging, and automated room management through Matrix protocol integration. It enables developers to create secure, scalable, and well-integrated applications within the Matrix ecosystem.

Overview

The IXO Matrix Client SDK is a comprehensive toolkit that enables developers to interact seamlessly with Matrix servers and associated bot services. It provides capabilities for:

  • User profile management and authentication
  • Room creation and management
  • Automated bot-assisted room operations
  • State management and access control
  • Real-time communication features
  • Secure data handling across rooms

Key Features

Matrix Client

Provides the interface for standard Matrix server interactions including media management, user profiles, and room operations

Room Bot

Automates Matrix room management, with blockchain integration and membership handling

State Bot

Manages Matrix room state data, access controls, and configuration

Utilities

Helper functions for MXC URLs, validators, and Matrix ecosystem tools

Installation

npm install @ixo/matrixclient-sdk
# or
yarn add @ixo/matrixclient-sdk

Utilities

MXC Helpers

import { utils } from "@ixo/matrixclient-sdk";

// Convert MXC to HTTP URL
const httpUrl = utils.mxcUrlToHttp(
  "mxc://ixo.world/abc123",
  "https://matrix.ixo.world"
);

// Validate MXC URL
const isValid = utils.isMxcUri("mxc://ixo.world/abc123");

Validators

// Validate Matrix IDs
const isValidUserId = utils.isUserId("@alice:ixo.world");
const isValidRoomId = utils.isRoomId("!room:ixo.world");
const isValidAlias = utils.isAlias("#general:ixo.world");

Access Control

Define and enforce granular access permissions using ACLs

Best Practices

Follow these guidelines for secure and efficient Matrix integration

Security

  • Use encrypted rooms for sensitive data
  • Implement proper access control
  • Rotate access tokens regularly
  • Validate all user inputs
  • Enable end-to-end encryption where appropriate
  • Regularly audit room access permissions

Performance

  • Batch state updates
  • Implement proper error handling
  • Cache room states
  • Monitor room sizes
  • Use appropriate SDK methods for bulk operations
  • Implement rate limiting for API calls
