# drone-matrixchat-notify

A [drone.io] [plugin] to send notifications to Matrix chat rooms from
CI pipeline steps.

Example pipeline configuration:

```yaml
kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: default

steps:
- name: build
  image: alpine
  commands:
  - ./build

- name: notify
  image: spotlightkid/drone-matrixchat-notify
  settings:
    homeserver: 'https://matrix.org'
    roomid: '!xxxxxx@matrix.org'
    userid: '@drone-bot@matrix.org'
    password:
      from_secret: drone-bot-pw
    template: '${DRONE_REPO} ${DRONE_COMMIT_SHA} ${DRONE_BUILD_STATUS}'
```

## Configuration settings


* `allowed_attrs` *(default:* [`DEFAULT_ALLOWED_ATTRS`]*)*

    List or string with comma-separated list of HTML attribute names or
    dict mapping tag names to lists of attributes names.

    See the bleach documentation on [allowed attributes] for more information.

* `allowed_tags` *(default:* [`DEFAULT_ALLOWED_TAGS`]*)*

    List or set or string with comma-separated list of HTML tag names. HTML
    tags not included, will be stripped from the HTML output generated by
    rendering a Markdown message template.

    Note that the default list does not include any tags, which allow to load
    external resources when the generated HTML is displayed, notably `img`
    is not included.

* `accesstoken`

    Access token to use for authentication instead of `password`. Either an
    access token or a password is required.

* `deviceid`

    Device ID to send with access token.

* `devicename`

    Device name to send with access token.

* `homeserver` *(default:* `https://matrix.org`*)*

    The Matrix homeserver URL.

* `markdown`

    If set to `yes`, `y`, `true` or `on`, the message resulting from template
    substtution is considered to be in Markdown format and will be rendered to
    HTML and sent as a formatted message with `org.matrix.custom.html` format.

* `markdown_extensions` *(default:* `admonition, extra, sane_lists, smarty`)

    Comma-separated list of enabled Markdown extensions. See this
    [list of extensions] for valid extension names. Including an invalid
    extension name in this list will disable Markdown rendering.

* `pass_environment` *(default:* `DRONE_*`*)*

    Comma-separated white-list of environment variable names or name patterns.
    Patterns are shell-glob style patterns and case-sensitive.

    Only environment variables matching any of the given names or patterns will
    be available as valid placeholders in the message template.

* `password`

    Password to use for authenticating the user set with `userid`. Either a
    password or an access token is required.

* `roomid` *(required)*

    ID of matrix chat room to send messages to (ID, not alias).

* `template` *(default:* `${DRONE_BUILD_STATUS}`*)*

    The message template. Valid placeholders of the form `${PLACEHOLDER}` will
    be substituted with the values of the matching environment variables
    (subject to filtering according to the `pass_environment` setting).

    See this [reference] for environment variables available in drone.io CI
    pipelines.

* `userid` *(required)*

    ID of user on homeserver to send message as (ID, not username).
