Method parameters

Only required parameters are explicit on the RocketChat class but you can still use all other parameters. For a detailed parameters list check the Rocket chat API

API coverage

Most of the API methods are already implemented. If you are interested in a specific call just open an issue or open a pull request.

note: Library updated to work with Rocket.Chat >= 0.58.0

Tests

We started writing tests :D

Tests run on a Rocket.Chat Docker container so install Docker and docker-compose. To start test server do docker-compose up on tests/testserver and to take test server down docker-compose down
