|
|
<p>Synapse supports extending its functionality by configuring external modules.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="using-modules"><a class="header" href="#using-modules">Using modules</a></h2>
|
|
<p>To use a module on Synapse, add it to the <code>modules</code> section of the configuration file:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-yaml">modules:
|
|
- module: my_super_module.MySuperClass
|
|
config:
|
|
do_thing: true
|
|
- module: my_other_super_module.SomeClass
|
|
config: {}
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Each module is defined by a path to a Python class as well as a configuration. This
|
|
information for a given module should be available in the module's own documentation.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Note</strong>: When using third-party modules, you effectively allow someone else to run
|
|
custom code on your Synapse homeserver. Server admins are encouraged to verify the
|
|
provenance of the modules they use on their homeserver and make sure the modules aren't
|
|
running malicious code on their instance.</p>
|
|
<p>Also note that we are currently in the process of migrating module interfaces to this
|
|
system. While some interfaces might be compatible with it, others still require
|
|
configuring modules in another part of Synapse's configuration file. Currently, only the
|
|
spam checker interface is compatible with this new system.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="writing-a-module"><a class="header" href="#writing-a-module">Writing a module</a></h2>
|
|
<p>A module is a Python class that uses Synapse's module API to interact with the
|
|
homeserver. It can register callbacks that Synapse will call on specific operations, as
|
|
well as web resources to attach to Synapse's web server.</p>
|
|
<p>When instantiated, a module is given its parsed configuration as well as an instance of
|
|
the <code>synapse.module_api.ModuleApi</code> class. The configuration is a dictionary, and is
|
|
either the output of the module's <code>parse_config</code> static method (see below), or the
|
|
configuration associated with the module in Synapse's configuration file.</p>
|
|
<p>See the documentation for the <code>ModuleApi</code> class
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/synapse/module_api/__init__.py">here</a>.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="handling-the-modules-configuration"><a class="header" href="#handling-the-modules-configuration">Handling the module's configuration</a></h3>
|
|
<p>A module can implement the following static method:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-python">@staticmethod
|
|
def parse_config(config: dict) -> dict
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>This method is given a dictionary resulting from parsing the YAML configuration for the
|
|
module. It may modify it (for example by parsing durations expressed as strings (e.g.
|
|
"5d") into milliseconds, etc.), and return the modified dictionary. It may also verify
|
|
that the configuration is correct, and raise an instance of
|
|
<code>synapse.module_api.errors.ConfigError</code> if not.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="registering-a-web-resource"><a class="header" href="#registering-a-web-resource">Registering a web resource</a></h3>
|
|
<p>Modules can register web resources onto Synapse's web server using the following module
|
|
API method:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-python">def ModuleApi.register_web_resource(path: str, resource: IResource)
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>The path is the full absolute path to register the resource at. For example, if you
|
|
register a resource for the path <code>/_synapse/client/my_super_module/say_hello</code>, Synapse
|
|
will serve it at <code>http(s)://[HS_URL]/_synapse/client/my_super_module/say_hello</code>. Note
|
|
that Synapse does not allow registering resources for several sub-paths in the <code>/_matrix</code>
|
|
namespace (such as anything under <code>/_matrix/client</code> for example). It is strongly
|
|
recommended that modules register their web resources under the <code>/_synapse/client</code>
|
|
namespace.</p>
|
|
<p>The provided resource is a Python class that implements Twisted's <a href="https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.web.resource.IResource.html">IResource</a>
|
|
interface (such as <a href="https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.web.resource.Resource.html">Resource</a>).</p>
|
|
<p>Only one resource can be registered for a given path. If several modules attempt to
|
|
register a resource for the same path, the module that appears first in Synapse's
|
|
configuration file takes priority.</p>
|
|
<p>Modules <strong>must</strong> register their web resources in their <code>__init__</code> method.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="registering-a-callback"><a class="header" href="#registering-a-callback">Registering a callback</a></h3>
|
|
<p>Modules can use Synapse's module API to register callbacks. Callbacks are functions that
|
|
Synapse will call when performing specific actions. Callbacks must be asynchronous, and
|
|
are split in categories. A single module may implement callbacks from multiple categories,
|
|
and is under no obligation to implement all callbacks from the categories it registers
|
|
callbacks for.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="spam-checker-callbacks"><a class="header" href="#spam-checker-callbacks">Spam checker callbacks</a></h4>
|
|
<p>To register one of the callbacks described in this section, a module needs to use the
|
|
module API's <code>register_spam_checker_callbacks</code> method. The callback functions are passed
|
|
to <code>register_spam_checker_callbacks</code> as keyword arguments, with the callback name as the
|
|
argument name and the function as its value. This is demonstrated in the example below.</p>
|
|
<p>The available spam checker callbacks are:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-python">async def check_event_for_spam(event: "synapse.events.EventBase") -> Union[bool, str]
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Called when receiving an event from a client or via federation. The module can return
|
|
either a <code>bool</code> to indicate whether the event must be rejected because of spam, or a <code>str</code>
|
|
to indicate the event must be rejected because of spam and to give a rejection reason to
|
|
forward to clients.</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-python">async def user_may_invite(inviter: str, invitee: str, room_id: str) -> bool
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Called when processing an invitation. The module must return a <code>bool</code> indicating whether
|
|
the inviter can invite the invitee to the given room. Both inviter and invitee are
|
|
represented by their Matrix user ID (i.e. <code>@alice:example.com</code>).</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-python">async def user_may_create_room(user: str) -> bool
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Called when processing a room creation request. The module must return a <code>bool</code> indicating
|
|
whether the given user (represented by their Matrix user ID) is allowed to create a room.</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-python">async def user_may_create_room_alias(user: str, room_alias: "synapse.types.RoomAlias") -> bool
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Called when trying to associate an alias with an existing room. The module must return a
|
|
<code>bool</code> indicating whether the given user (represented by their Matrix user ID) is allowed
|
|
to set the given alias.</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-python">async def user_may_publish_room(user: str, room_id: str) -> bool
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Called when trying to publish a room to the homeserver's public rooms directory. The
|
|
module must return a <code>bool</code> indicating whether the given user (represented by their
|
|
Matrix user ID) is allowed to publish the given room.</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-python">async def check_username_for_spam(user_profile: Dict[str, str]) -> bool
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Called when computing search results in the user directory. The module must return a
|
|
<code>bool</code> indicating whether the given user profile can appear in search results. The profile
|
|
is represented as a dictionary with the following keys:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>user_id</code>: The Matrix ID for this user.</li>
|
|
<li><code>display_name</code>: The user's display name.</li>
|
|
<li><code>avatar_url</code>: The <code>mxc://</code> URL to the user's avatar.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The module is given a copy of the original dictionary, so modifying it from within the

|
Synapse will generate one later.</li>
|
|
<li><code>request_info</code>: A collection of tuples, which first item is a user agent, and which

|
second item is an IP address. These user agents and IP addresses are the ones that were

|
|
<p>In order to port a module that uses Synapse's old module interface, its author needs to:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>ensure the module's callbacks are all asynchronous.</li>
|
|
<li>register their callbacks using one or more of the <code>register_[...]_callbacks</code> methods
|
|
from the <code>ModuleApi</code> class in the module's <code>__init__</code> method (see <a href="#registering-a-web-resource">this section</a>
|
|
for more info).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Additionally, if the module is packaged with an additional web resource, the module
|
|
should register this resource in its <code>__init__</code> method using the <code>register_web_resource</code>
|
|
method from the <code>ModuleApi</code> class (see <a href="#registering-a-web-resource">this section</a> for
|
|
more info).</p>
|
|
<p>The module's author should also update any example in the module's configuration to only
|
|
use the new <code>modules</code> section in Synapse's configuration file (see <a href="#using-modules">this section</a>
|
|
for more info).</p>
|
|
<h3 id="example"><a class="header" href="#example">Example</a></h3>
|
|
<p>The example below is a module that implements the spam checker callback
|
|
<code>user_may_create_room</code> to deny room creation to user <code>@evilguy:example.com</code>, and registers
|
|
a web resource to the path <code>/_synapse/client/demo/hello</code> that returns a JSON object.</p>
