The design of Common API

[acid-chicken]

Overview

From #2.
In this issue, we have a discussion about designing Information.NET.Common.

[marihachi]

First of all, common point is posting messages.

[acid-chicken]

Yeah, and in general, these are listed on timelines.

[marihachi]

Also, It's necessary to decide the object-name of posted text message. (e.g. Status, Message, or Text etc.)

[acid-chicken]

I think "Message" sounds good! How do you like to call it? @mak0tia @siketyan

[marihachi]

But, when we want to define other messages, it will be probably a not good decision 🤔
If we doesn't call other objects "Message", it is ok.

[marihachi]

Or, How about "TextMessage"?

[acid-chicken]

The message contains text is not necessarily so. How about inheritance?

• IMessage
  • ITextMessage

[marihachi]

sounds good!

とりあえず、現状の構想でcommonプロジェクトを作成してみた
#5

I created a common project as based on the current idea at #5 for now.

構想

using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace Information
{
    public interface IService { }
    public interface IMessage { }
    public interface IMessagePostable<T> where T : IMessage
    {
        Task<T> PostMessageAsync(T message);
    }
}

namespace Information.Services
{
    public class Twitter :
        IService,
        IMessagePostable<Twitter.TextMessage>,
        IMessagePostable<Twitter.ReactionMessage>
    {
        public Task<TextMessage> PostMessageAsync(TextMessage message) => null;

        public Task<ReactionMessage> PostMessageAsync(ReactionMessage message) => null;

        public class TextMessage : IMessage
        {
            public string Content { get; set; }
        }

        public class ReactionMessage : IMessage
        {
            public ReactionType Type { get; set; }
        }

        public enum ReactionType { Like }
    }
}

public class Program
{
    public async void Main()
    {
        var tw = new Information.Services.Twitter();

        var text = new Information.Services.Twitter.TextMessage();
        text.Content = "hoge";
        await tw.PostMessageAsync(text);

        var reaction = new Information.Services.Twitter.ReactionMessage();
        reaction.Type = Information.Services.Twitter.ReactionType.Like;
        await tw.PostMessageAsync(reaction);
    }
}

どうだろう..

Conception:
some codes
Would you like this...?

ReactionMessage のリアクション対象の指定ってどこでやる感じです？

Where do you want to let's specify the target for the reaction of ReactionMessage?

[acid-chicken]

var text = new Information.Services.Twitter.TextMessage();
text.Content = "hoge";
await tw.PostMessageAsync(text);

It looks a little bit complex.

[marihachi]

@acid-chicken

It looks a little bit complex.

それはそう。どのようにすれば最適だろう？

@qpwakaba

ReactionMessage のリアクション対象の指定ってどこでやる感じです？

ReactionMessageのコンストラクタもしくはプロパティから設定することになりそう

[marihachi]

リアクションをメッセージとして扱うのは抽象化し過ぎかなあ

[marihachi]

案2

• パラメータとレスポンスを別の型で設定可能に
• リアクションをメッセージとしてではなく、リアクションとして定義可能に

メソッド名がすべてのサービスで共通になるというメリットがあるが、結局パラメータとして与えるTextMessageやReactionのような「モデル」は全てのサービスで定義して使い分けないといけない。

using System.Threading.Tasks;
using static Information.Services.Twitter;

{
    public interface IService { }

    public interface IMessagePostable<T> { Task PostMessageAsync(T message); }
    public interface IMessagePostable<T, TRes> { Task<TRes> PostMessageAsync(T message); }

    public interface IReactionPostable<T> { Task PostReactionAsync(T reaction); }
    public interface IReactionPostable<T, TRes> { Task<TRes> PostReactionAsync(T reaction); }
}

    public class Twitter :
        IService,
        IMessagePostable<TextMessage>,

        public Task PostMessageAsync(TextMessage message) => null;
        public Task PostReactionAsync(Reaction reaction) => null;

        public class TextMessage
        {
            public TextMessage(string text, string inReplyToStatusId = null)
            {
                Text = text;
                InReplyToStatusId = inReplyToStatusId;
            }

            public string Text { get; set; }
            public string InReplyToStatusId { get; set; }
        }

        public class Reaction
        {
            public Reaction(ReactionType type, string targetMessageId)
            {
                Type = type;
                TargetMessageId = targetMessageId;
            }

            public ReactionType Type { get; set; }
