#![warn(missing_docs)]
//! # golgi
//!
//! _The Golgi complex (aka. Golgi apparatus or Golgi body) packages proteins
//! into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent
//! to their destination._
//!
//! -----
//!
//! ## Introduction
//!
//! Golgi is an asynchronous, experimental Scuttlebutt client that aims to
//! facilitate Scuttlebutt application development. It provides a high-level
//! API for interacting with an sbot instance and uses the
//! [kuska-ssb](https://github.com/Kuska-ssb) libraries to make RPC calls.
//! Development efforts are currently oriented towards
//! [go-sbot](https://github.com/ssbc/go-ssb) interoperability.
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! Golgi offers the ability to invoke individual RPC methods while also
//! providing a number of convenience methods which may involve multiple RPC
//! calls and / or the processing of data received from those calls. The
//! [`Sbot`](crate::sbot::Sbot) `struct` is the primary means of interacting
//! with the library.
//!
//! Features include the ability to publish messages of various kinds; to
//! retrieve messages (e.g. `about` and `description` messages) and formulate
//! queries; to follow, unfollow, block and unblock a peer; to query the social
//! graph; and to generate pub invite codes.
//!
//! Visit the [API modules](crate::api) to view the available methods.
//!
//! ## Example Usage
//!
//! Basic usage is demonstrated below. Visit the [examples directory](https://git.coopcloud.tech/golgi-ssb/golgi/src/branch/main/examples) in the `golgi` repository for
//! more comprehensive examples.
//!
//! ```rust
//! use golgi::{messages::SsbMessageContent, GolgiError, Sbot, sbot::Keystore};
//!
//! pub async fn run() -> Result<(), GolgiError> {
//! // Attempt to connect to an sbot instance using the default IP address,
//! // port and network key (aka. capabilities key).
//! let mut sbot_client = Sbot::init(Keystore::Patchwork, None, None).await?;
//!
//! // Call the `whoami` RPC method to retrieve the public key for the sbot
//! // identity.
//! let id = sbot_client.whoami().await?;
//!
//! // Print the public key (identity) to `stdout`.
//! println!("{}", id);
//!
//! // Compose an SSB post message type.
//! let post = SsbMessageContent::Post {
//! text: "Biology, eh?!".to_string(),
//! mentions: None,
//! };
//!
//! // Publish the post.
//! let post_msg_reference = sbot_client.publish(post).await?;
//!
//! // Print the reference (sigil-link) for the published post.
//! println!("{}", post_msg_reference);
//!
//! Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
