# Twitchbot

A plugin-based framework for creating Twitch chat bots, written in Ruby and based on `EventMachine` and `Faye::WebSocket`.

Notes:
* Plugins are first class citizens
* Helper functions implemented to gate-keep commands
* Bot can currently only join one channel (it might stay that way)
* Read the source until I get all the documentation completed

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'twitchbot'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install twitchbot

## Getting Started

Require Twitchbot

require 'twitchbot'

Create Plugins

# MessagePlugin, which listens for the registered command preceeded by the Bot command_prefix
class HiPlugin
include Twitchbot::MessagePlugin

register command: 'hi', method: :say_hi

def say_hi(message, arg)
message.respond 'Hello world!'
end
end

# TimedPlugin, which fires off the registered command periodically
class ShoutOutPlugin
include Twitchbot::TimedPlugin

register method: :social, interval: 15 # Time in seconds

def social(handler)
handler.send_channel('Hello! Check my social media out!')
end
end

# Plugin, which listens for registered commands according to the raw IRC command
class PutsPlugin
include Twitchbot::Plugin

register command: 'PRIVMSG', method: :put_string

def put_string(handler)
handler.messages.each do |message|
puts message
end
end
end

Create and start `Bot`

bot = Twitchbot::Bot.new do |bot|
bot.username = 'bot_name'
bot.password = 'oauth:password'
bot.channel = 'channel_name'
bot.plugins = [HiPlugin, ShoutOutPlugin, PutsPlugin]
bot.debug = true
# bot.command_prefix = '$' # Default is '!'
end

bot.start

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
