Add support for `me/chats/48:notes/messages` in order to send message to self

[AdrienFromToulouse]

Currently there is no way by using the SDK client.Me()... to post to the logged-in user's personal chat.

Salut @AdrienFromToulouse Thanks for using the Go SDK and for reaching out. I'm not sure which API you're referring to at this point. Can you please provide a link to the documentation page for the API you're referring to?

[AdrienFromToulouse]

@baywet Thanks for your quick reply,

Is is an undocumented endpoint from the MS Graph API. The endpoint is me/chats/48:notes so for instance to post a message it is /messages.

The deep link being https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/48:notes/conversations

It is the ID of the "self" chat.

Thanks for the additional context here. So this is simply a "magical constant" but effectively the features of the chats operations remain the same?

I would say yes but to be honest I am not aware of the entire interface about chat - may be they are some features that are implicitly excluded by the fact that it is the "self-chat".

Also for the record, this "special" chat is not listed when doing https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/chats not sure if it is a bug or a feature on Microsoft API side.

Would you need more information?

This repository is dedicated to the Go SDK. The service teams are not watching it. The best thing to do is to ask a question on Microsoft Q&A where service team members will be able to reply. Closing

@baywet not sure to understand, I was hoping that implementing the endpoint in the SDK itself would be possible. Not quite sure to understand the link with MS Q&A. I am not trying to "understand" your API, I already understood it by creating this issue in the first place. My point was about the SDK since in the description I reference: client.Me()

Anyways thank you for your time.

Yes, the name can be confusing. Where Microsoft Q&A was originally a platform to ask questions and get answers, it's now also a place to provide feedback about the documentation, the products and more.

This "endpoint" is only a key in the chat collection as far as I understand, and wouldn't mandate its own SDK implementation since the operations can already be performed with the existing chat operations the SDK offers.

I understand your design choice. The thing is that I don't know the SDK much. My original point was that the client.Me() could offer a method to "directly" post a message without having to figure out that in fact the "me" channel has an undocumented ID that is "48:notes".

So instead of having to do (which works too)

messages, err := graphClient.Chats().ByChatId("48:notes").Messages().Post(context.Background(), requestBody, nil)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

it would be a better DX to have something like:

messages, err := graphClient.Me().Chat().Messages().Post(context.Background(), requestBody, nil)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

Cheers,

all valid points, something I forgot to mention in the previous reply: this SDK is generated from an API description the service teams provide. If they provided such a shorthand, we'd have it in the SDK. Hence my suggestion to reach out to them in Microsoft Q&A.
