Installation

// config/bundles.php
Wexample\SymfonyRemote\WexampleSymfonyRemoteBundle::class => ['all' => true],
Wexample\SymfonyRemoteRocketChat\WexampleSymfonyRemoteRocketChatBundle::class => ['all' => true],

The client is declared as a symfony-remote client. Authentication uses a personal access token, created in Rocket.Chat under My Account › Personal Access Tokens; the token is the api_key, and the id of the user owning it goes in the X-User-Id header:

# config/packages/wexample_symfony_remote.yaml
wexample_symfony_remote:
  clients:
    rocket_chat:
      class: Wexample\SymfonyRemoteRocketChat\Class\RocketChatClient
      label: Rocket.Chat
      base_url: '%env(ROCKET_CHAT_URL)%'
      api_key: '%env(default::ROCKET_CHAT_TOKEN)%'
      headers: { X-User-Id: '%env(default::ROCKET_CHAT_USER_ID)%' }
      options: { timeout: 15, retries: 2 }

RocketChatClient then autowires, and remote:status checks the token against api/v1/me. Listing every private group needs a token of an admin user.

symfony-remote-rocket-chat is a Rocket.Chat REST client (API v1) for Symfony, built on wexample/php-api and declared through symfony-remote: users (paginated listing, read, create, update, deactivate, delete), private groups (listing, create, rename, archive, delete), channels (listing) and messages (postMessage to a room, #channel or @username). Refusals raise a RocketChatException carrying the reason Rocket.Chat gave; isTransient() tells an outage from a refusal.

Answers are returned as Rocket.Chat sends them. RocketChatUserAdapter maps users to symfony-data-sync remote items, so an application keeps its users and Rocket.Chat accounts in step with a definition, not code.
