High level Twitch chat abstraction

This library provide high level wrapper above Twitch (IRC) API, that allow you analyze stream comments and building Twitch bots.

Installation

go get github.com/dimorinny/twitch-chat-api

Configuration

Create configuration object:

config = twitchchat.NewConfiguration(
	nickname,
	oauth,
	channel,
)

You can quickly get a oauth token for your account with this helpful page. For more information you should read official Twitch IRC documentation.

Usage

Ferstly, you need to create chat object like this:

twitch := twitchchat.NewChat(config)

For receiving chat status (like connected, disconnected, new message) you can use 2 ways:

Using callbacks api

stop := make(chan struct{})
defer close(stop)

err := twitch.ConnectWithCallbacks(
	func() {
		fmt.Println("Connected")
	},
	func() {
		fmt.Println("Disconnected")
		stop <- struct{}{}
	},
	func(message string) {
		fmt.Println(message)
	},
)

if err != nil {
	return
}

<-stop

Using channels api

stop := make(chan struct{})
defer close(stop)

disconnected := make(chan struct{})
connected := make(chan struct{})
message := make(chan string)

go func() {
	for {
		select {
		case <-disconnected:
			fmt.Println("Disconnected")
			stop <- struct{}{}
		case <-connected:
			fmt.Println("Connected")
		case newMessage := <-message:
			fmt.Println(newMessage)
		}
	}
}()

if err := twitch.ConnectWithChannels(connected, disconnected, message); err != nil {
	return
}

<-stop
