                        <h1 id="presence-router-module"><a class="header" href="#presence-router-module">Presence Router Module</a></h1>
<p>Synapse supports configuring a module that can specify additional users
(local or remote) to should receive certain presence updates from local
users.</p>
<p>Note that routing presence via Application Service transactions is not
currently supported.</p>
<p>The presence routing module is implemented as a Python class, which will
be imported by the running Synapse.</p>
<h2 id="python-presence-router-class"><a class="header" href="#python-presence-router-class">Python Presence Router Class</a></h2>
<p>The Python class is instantiated with two objects:</p>
<ul>
<li>A configuration object of some type (see below).</li>
<li>An instance of <code>synapse.module_api.ModuleApi</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>It then implements methods related to presence routing.</p>
<p>Note that one method of <code>ModuleApi</code> that may be useful is:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def ModuleApi.send_local_online_presence_to(users: Iterable[str]) -&gt; None
</code></pre>
<p>which can be given a list of local or remote MXIDs to broadcast known, online user
presence to (for those users that the receiving user is considered interested in). 
It does not include state for users who are currently offline, and it can only be
called on workers that support sending federation. Additionally, this method must
only be called from the process that has been configured to write to the
the <a href="workers.html#stream-writers">presence stream</a>.
By default, this is the main process, but another worker can be configured to do
so.</p>
<h3 id="module-structure"><a class="header" href="#module-structure">Module structure</a></h3>
<p>Below is a list of possible methods that can be implemented, and whether they are
required.</p>
<h4 id="parse_config"><a class="header" href="#parse_config"><code>parse_config</code></a></h4>
<pre><code class="language-python">def parse_config(config_dict: dict) -&gt; Any
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Required.</strong> A static method that is passed a dictionary of config options, and
should return a validated config object. This method is described further in
<a href="#configuration">Configuration</a>.</p>
<h4 id="get_users_for_states"><a class="header" href="#get_users_for_states"><code>get_users_for_states</code></a></h4>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def get_users_for_states(
    self,
    state_updates: Iterable[UserPresenceState],
) -&gt; Dict[str, Set[UserPresenceState]]:
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Required.</strong> An asynchronous method that is passed an iterable of user presence
state. This method can determine whether a given presence update should be sent to certain
users. It does this by returning a dictionary with keys representing local or remote
Matrix User IDs, and values being a python set
of <code>synapse.handlers.presence.UserPresenceState</code> instances.</p>
<p>Synapse will then attempt to send the specified presence updates to each user when
possible.</p>
<h4 id="get_interested_users"><a class="header" href="#get_interested_users"><code>get_interested_users</code></a></h4>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def get_interested_users(self, user_id: str) -&gt; Union[Set[str], str]
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Required.</strong> An asynchronous method that is passed a single Matrix User ID. This
method is expected to return the users that the passed in user may be interested in the
presence of. Returned users may be local or remote. The presence routed as a result of
what this method returns is sent in addition to the updates already sent between users
that share a room together. Presence updates are deduplicated.</p>
<p>This method should return a python set of Matrix User IDs, or the object
<code>synapse.events.presence_router.PresenceRouter.ALL_USERS</code> to indicate that the passed
user should receive presence information for <em>all</em> known users.</p>
<p>For clarity, if the user <code>@alice:example.org</code> is passed to this method, and the Set
<code>{&quot;@bob:example.com&quot;, &quot;@charlie:somewhere.org&quot;}</code> is returned, this signifies that Alice
should receive presence updates sent by Bob and Charlie, regardless of whether these
users share a room.</p>
<h3 id="example"><a class="header" href="#example">Example</a></h3>
<p>Below is an example implementation of a presence router class.</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">from typing import Dict, Iterable, Set, Union

    async def get_users_for_states(

        sent between users who share a room.

        Args:
            state_updates: An iterable of user presence state updates.

        Returns:
          A dictionary of user_id -&gt; set of UserPresenceState that the user should 
          receive.

<h4 id="a-note-on-get_users_for_states-and-get_interested_users"><a class="header" href="#a-note-on-get_users_for_states-and-get_interested_users">A note on <code>get_users_for_states</code> and <code>get_interested_users</code></a></h4>
<p>Both of these methods are effectively two different sides of the same coin. The logic
regarding which users should receive updates for other users should be the same 
between them.</p>
<p><code>get_users_for_states</code> is called when presence updates come in from either federation 
or local users, and is used to either direct local presence to remote users, or to
wake up the sync streams of local users to collect remote presence.</p>
<p>In contrast, <code>get_interested_users</code> is used to determine the users that presence should
be fetched for when a local user is syncing. This presence is then retrieved, before
being fed through <code>get_users_for_states</code> once again, with only the syncing user's
routing information pulled from the resulting dictionary.</p>
<p>Their routing logic should thus line up, else you may run into unintended behaviour.</p>
<h2 id="configuration"><a class="header" href="#configuration">Configuration</a></h2>
<p>Once you've crafted your module and installed it into the same Python environment as
Synapse, amend your homeserver config file with the following.</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">presence:
  enabled: true

  presence_router:
    module: my_module.ExamplePresenceRouter
    config:
      # Any configuration options for your module. The below is an example.
      # of setting options for ExamplePresenceRouter.
      always_send_to_users: [&quot;@presence_gobbler:example.org&quot;]
      blacklisted_users:
        - &quot;@alice:example.com&quot;
        - &quot;@bob:example.com&quot;
      ...
</code></pre>
<p>The contents of <code>config</code> will be passed as a Python dictionary to the static
<code>parse_config</code> method of your class. The object returned by this method will
then be passed to the <code>__init__</code> method of your module as <code>config</code>.</p>
