Struct deltachat::context::Context

pub struct Context {
    pub(crate) inner: Arc<InnerContext>,
}

The context for a single DeltaChat account.

This contains all the state for a single DeltaChat account, including background tasks running in Tokio to operate the account. The Context can be cheaply cloned.

Each context, and thus each account, must be associated with an directory where all the state is kept. This state is also preserved between restarts.

To use multiple accounts it is best to look at the accounts manager which handles storing multiple accounts in a single directory structure and handles loading them all concurrently.

pub fn get_id(&self) -> u32

Get the ID of this context.

pub(crate) async fn alloc_ongoing(&self) -> Result<Receiver<()>>

pub async fn get_fresh_msgs(&self) -> Result<Vec<MsgId>>

Get a list of fresh, unmuted messages in unblocked chats.

The list starts with the most recent message and is typically used to show notifications. Moreover, the number of returned messages can be used for a badge counter on the app icon.

This function is supposed to be used by bot to request messages that are not processed yet.

Waits for notification and returns a result. Note that the result may be empty if the message is deleted shortly after notification or notification is manually triggered to interrupt waiting. Notification may be manually triggered by calling Self::stop_io.

pub async fn search_msgs( &self, chat_id: Option<ChatId>, query: &str ) -> Result<Vec<MsgId>>

impl Context

pub(crate) async fn update_recent_quota( &self, session: &mut ImapSession ) -> Result<()>

Updates quota.recent, sets quota.modified to the current time and emits an event to let the UIs update connectivity view.

Moreover, once each time quota gets larger than QUOTA_WARN_THRESHOLD_PERCENTAGE, a device message is added. As the message is added only once, the user is not spammed in case for some providers the quota is always at ~100% and new space is allocated as needed.

impl Context

pub async fn get_connectivity(&self) -> Connectivity

Get the current connectivity, i.e. whether the device is connected to the IMAP server. One of:

• DC_CONNECTIVITY_NOT_CONNECTED (1000-1999): Show e.g. the string “Not connected” or a red dot
• DC_CONNECTIVITY_CONNECTING (2000-2999): Show e.g. the string “Connecting…” or a yellow dot
• DC_CONNECTIVITY_WORKING (3000-3999): Show e.g. the string “Updating…” or a spinning wheel
• DC_CONNECTIVITY_CONNECTED (>=4000): Show e.g. the string “Connected” or a green dot

We don’t use exact values but ranges here so that we can split up states into multiple states in the future.

Meant as a rough overview that can be shown e.g. in the title of the main screen.

If the connectivity changes, a DC_EVENT_CONNECTIVITY_CHANGED will be emitted.

pub async fn get_connectivity_html(&self) -> Result<String>

Get an overview of the current connectivity, and possibly more statistics. Meant to give the user more insight about the current status than the basic connectivity info returned by dc_get_connectivity(); show this e.g., if the user taps on said basic connectivity info.

If this page changes, a DC_EVENT_CONNECTIVITY_CHANGED will be emitted.

This comes as an HTML from the core so that we can easily improve it and the improvement instantly reaches all UIs.

pub async fn all_work_done(&self) -> bool

Returns true if all background work is done.

impl Context

pub async fn set_stock_translation( &self, id: StockMessage, stockstring: String ) -> Result<()>

impl Context

pub(crate) async fn add_sync_item(&self, data: SyncData) -> Result<()>

Adds an item to the list of items that should be synchronized to other devices.

NB: Private and pub(crate) functions shouldn’t call this unless Sync::Sync is explicitly passed to them. This way it’s always clear whether the code performs synchronisation.

async fn add_sync_item_with_timestamp( &self, data: SyncData, timestamp: i64 ) -> Result<()>

Adds item and timestamp to the list of items that should be synchronized to other devices. If device synchronization is disabled, the function does nothing.

pub(crate) async fn sync_qr_code_tokens( &self, chat_id: Option<ChatId> ) -> Result<()>

Adds most recent qr-code tokens for a given chat to the list of items to be synced. If device synchronization is disabled, no tokens exist or the chat is unpromoted, the function does nothing.

pub(crate) async fn sync_qr_code_token_deletion( &self, invitenumber: String, auth: String ) -> Result<()>

Adds deleted qr-code token to the list of items to be synced so that the token also gets deleted on the other devices.

Sends out a self-sent message with items to be synchronized, if any.

pub(crate) async fn build_sync_json(&self) -> Result<Option<(String, String)>>

pub(crate) fn build_sync_part(&self, json: String) -> PartBuilder

pub(crate) async fn delete_sync_ids(&self, ids: String) -> Result<()>

Deletes IDs as returned by build_sync_json().

pub(crate) fn parse_sync_items(&self, serialized: String) -> Result<SyncItems>

Takes a JSON string created by build_sync_json() and construct SyncItems from it.

pub(crate) async fn execute_sync_items(&self, items: &SyncItems)

Executes sync items sent by other device.

CAVE: When changing the code to handle other sync items, take care that does not result in calls to add_sync_item() as otherwise we would add in a dead-loop between two devices sending message back and forth.

If an error is returned, the caller shall not try over because some sync items could be already executed. Sync items are considered independent and executed in the given order but regardless of whether executing of the previous items succeeded.

async fn add_qr_token(&self, token: &QrTokenData) -> Result<()>

async fn delete_qr_token(&self, token: &QrTokenData) -> Result<()>

Sends a status update for an webxdc instance.

If the instance is a draft, the status update is sent once the instance is actually sent. Otherwise, the update is sent as soon as possible.

pub async fn send_webxdc_status_update_struct( &self, instance_msg_id: MsgId, status_update: StatusUpdateItem, descr: &str ) -> Result<()>

Sends a status update for an webxdc instance. Also see Self::send_webxdc_status_update

Returns status updates as an JSON-array, ready to be consumed by a webxdc.

Example: [{"serial":1, "max_serial":3, "payload":"any update data"}, {"serial":3, "max_serial":3, "payload":"another update data"}] Updates with serials larger than last_known_serial are returned. If no last serial is known, set last_known_serial to 0. If no updates are available, an empty JSON-array is returned.
