Working on a ATProto project using Go and trying to create posts? It's kind of
a drag, huh? Say hello to bsgortp! Now you can efficiently turn that
little string into a full fledged *bsky.FeedPost with all the
RichTextFacets correctly populated.
Getting started with bsgortp is very easy.
- The Go toolchain
- Working knowledge of ATProto and BlueSky (optional?)
Inside of your project just run:
go get github.com/jake-abed/bsgortpNow you can import github.com/jake-abed/bsgortp into any file you need!
Using bsgortp is comparably easy. Anywhere that you need a new bsky.FeedPost
struct, you could do something like this:
post, err := bsgortp.GenPost(
"Paging @jakeabed.dev... is this thing on? #test-post",
[]string{"en"},
)If everything goes to plan, you'll get back the pointer to struct that looks like this:
bsky.FeedPost{
LexiconTypeID: "app.bsky.feed.post",
CreatedAt: "2025-03-11T04:20:00.156888Z",
Facets []*RichtextFacet{ /* pointers to some RichtextFacets */ },
Langs []string{"en"},
Text "Paging @jakeabed.dev... is this thing on? #test-post",
}The first Richtext Facet would look something like this:
// Keep in mind most of these this are actually pointers to structs, but you
// get the idea
bsky.RichtextFacet{
Features: []*RichtextFacet_Features_Elem{
*RichtextFacet_Features_Elem{
RichtextFacet_Mention: *RichtextFacet_Mention{
LexiconTypeID: "app.bsky.richtext.facet#mention",
Did: "some_did_i_will_not_type",
},
},
Index: *RichtextFacet_ByteSlice{
ByteStart: 8,
ByteEnd: 20,
},
},
}- Extend test coverage
- Setup CI to run tests on merges to main
- Add embed support possibly
- Take in and modify/replace existing FeedPosts
- Improve Regex where needed
- Test & improve performance
Please feel free to open up an issue. Please do not create pull requests without creatin an issue of some kind and discussing it first.
Eventually, CI will be setup to make sure all tests pass.
