Widget Support

[ShadowJonathan]

A small tracking issue for widget support in ruma;

• Specs;

  • Widget API extension: Always-on-screen matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3810
  • Matrix Widget API v2 matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3803
  • MSC1960: OpenID information exchange with widgets matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#1960
  • MSC2765: Widget avatars matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2765
  • MSC2774: Expose the widget ID to the widget matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2774
  • [WIP] MSC3662: Allow Widgets to share user mxids to the client matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3662
  • MSC2931: Allow widgets to navigate with matrix.to URIs matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2931

• Spec PR: Widgets, the spec matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2764

• "Book": Widgets, the book matrix-org/matrix.org#825

Note: There's a lot of work here, and there should be some chunking/investigation, plus a work plan, before its implemented.

The main things that ruma can do is define event/JSONs clearly and cleanly, (probably) define the widget ID strictly, and define all of the APIs.

Downstream projects like rust-sdk can make an ergonomic interface to this, binding it all.
