Gadget Network Utilities Plugin

This is a Gadget plugin that allows Gadget to perform various network utility functions.

Note that Gadget -- and therefore any plugin for Gadget -- is still very much a work in progress, so please don't use it in production yet (or if you do, don't complain).

How do I use this plugin?

In your main.go for using Gadget, your main() function should instruct you bot, which is created using gadget.Setup() needs to be instructed to Router.AddMentionRoutes(netutils.GetMentionRoutes()). This usually looks like this:

package main

import (
	gadget "github.com/gadget-bot/gadget/core"
	netutils "github.com/gadget-bot/gadget-plugin-netutils"
)

func main() {
	// This is the Gadget bot
	myBot := gadget.Setup()

	// Add your custom plugins here
	myBot.Router.AddMentionRoutes(netutils.GetMentionRoutes())

	// This launches your bot
	myBot.Run()
}

    • A big shout out to https://github.com/mehrdadrad/mylg, from which most of the hping feature's work is derived
