Send invite to conversation

[demurgos]

Hi, thanks for using the library and reporting issues. I'm now watching your project: it has some interesting issues (some of them were also fixed on master, you can install it with skype-http@next, but it also has breaking changes due to the new contact API).

Regarding the addition of contacts, it is currently not possible but I'd like to have it. If you want to help, I'd be happy to help you and eventually give you write access (it may help with your library).
The first step would be to find how Skype does it. I usually do 3 things: check the HTTP requests of the web client when I perform the action, check SkPy (a Python library for Skype) or look into their source code.

I'm currently in the process of updating the conversation API so it may be the occasion to add it. I'll try to merge my changes quickly.

I am trying to move this library to be a thinner wrapper around Skype: it would focus on abstracting the HTTP calls and guaranteeing the properties on the return values with runtime checks. It currently manually remaps some of the objects but it gets harder to maintain. Also I used typedoc to generate documentation but this no longer works well, so I need to better document it and find a workaround.

Thanks for feedback! I'll check it out and let you know if find out how Skype does it.

I'm re-opening until it is supported.

As I see you're going to remove checking EventMessage.resourceType in the next version?

See my reply in the PR thread

You'll still need to check event.resourceType: there will be more events (endpoint and user presence) discriminated by this property. Also for messages event.resource.type becomes event.resource.messageType to match the real Skype API.
