# twitchchat

[![Documentation][docs_badge]][docs]
[![Crates][crates_badge]][crates]
[![Actions][actions_badge]][actions]

This crate provides a way to interact with [Twitch]'s chat.

Along with parse messages as Rust types, it provides methods for sending messages.

It also provides an 'event' loop which you can use to make a bot.

## Opt-in features

By default, this crate depends on zero external crates -- but it makes it rather limited in scope. It can just parse/decode/encode to standard trait types (`std::io::{Read, Write}`).

To use the `AsyncRunner` (an async-event loop) you must able the `async` feature.

**_NOTE_** This is a breaking change from `0.12` which had the async stuff enabled by default.

```toml
twitchchat = { version = "0.14", features = ["async"] }
```

To use a specific `TcpStream`/`TlStream` refer to the runtime table below.

## Serde support

To enable serde support, simply enable the optional `serde` feature

## Runtime

This crate is runtime agonostic. To use..

| Read/Write provider | Features |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| [`async_io`](https://docs.rs/async-io/latest/async_io/) | `async-io` |
| [`smol`](https://docs.rs/smol/latest/smol/) | `smol` |
| [`async_std`](https://docs.rs/async-std/latest/async_std/) | `async-std` |
| [`tokio`](https://docs.rs/tokio/0.2/tokio/) | `tokio` and `tokio-util` |

### TLS

If you want TLS supports, enable the above runtime and also enable the cooresponding features:

| Read/Write provider | Runtime | Features | TLS backend |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| [`async_io`](https://docs.rs/async-io/latest/async_io/) | `async_io` | `"async-tls"` | [`rustls`][rustls] |
| [`smol`](https://docs.rs/smol/latest/smol/) | `smol` | `"async-tls"` | [`rustls`][rustls] |
| [`async_std`](https://docs.rs/async-std/latest/async_std/) | `async_std` | `"async-tls"` | [`rustls`][rustls] |
| [`tokio`](https://docs.rs/tokio/0.2/tokio/) | `tokio` | `"tokio-util"`, `"tokio-rustls"`, `"webpki-roots"` | [`rustls`][rustls] |
| [`tokio`](https://docs.rs/tokio/0.2/tokio/) | `tokio` | `"tokio-util"`, `"tokio-native-tls"`, `"native-tls"` | [`native-tls`][native-tls] |
| [`tokio`](https://docs.rs/tokio/0.2/tokio/) | `tokio` | `"tokio-util"`, `"tokio-openssl"`, `"openssl"` | [`openssl`][openssl] |
