## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- Go 1.20 or newer
- Go 1.25 or newer
- Access to the IamResponding API (credentials required)
### Installation

```
### Configuration
Edit `config.yml` with your IaR credentials and settings.
Create a `config.yml` file with your IaR credentials and settings:
```yaml
credentials:
secret_key: "your_secret_key"
ttd_api_key: "your_ttd_api_key"
directory: "/path/to/watch/for/mp3/files"
watch_debounce_seconds: 5
logging:
level: "INFO"
```
Configuration options:
- `credentials.secret_key`: IaR API secret key
- `credentials.ttd_api_key`: IaR API key
- `directory`: Directory to watch for MP3 files
- `watch_debounce_seconds`: Debounce time for file events (default: 1)
- `logging.level`: Log level (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR)
### Usage
Build and run the main application:

./iar-notificator
```
The application will:
1. Load configuration from `config.yml`
2. Start watching the specified directory for MP3 files
3. Send keep-alive signals to IaR API at regular intervals
4. Automatically upload MP3 files as alerts when detected
## API Integration
The client integrates with the IaR API using GraphQL queries and mutations:
- **KeepAlive**: Retrieves pager group information and maintains connection
- **PreAlert**: Creates an alert entry
- **Alert**: Uploads audio data to an existing alert
API responses are parsed and used to populate internal state for subsequent requests.
## Testing
Run all tests:
```sh
go test ./...
```
Run tests for specific packages:
```sh
go test ./client
go test ./config
go test ./bus
go test ./watcher
go test ./utils
```
The test suite includes:
- Unit tests for all core functionality
- Integration tests with mocked HTTP responses
- File system watcher tests
- Configuration loading tests
- Event bus concurrency tests
## Dependencies
- `resty.dev/v3`: HTTP client for API requests
- `github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify`: File system watching
- `gopkg.in/yaml.v3`: YAML configuration parsing
