Rubotic

Extendable IRC Bot written in Ruby.

Usage

bundle exec pry
require 'rubotic'
b = Rubotic::Bot.new

b.configure do
  nick   'guest-user-12'
  server 'irc.freenode.org'
  port   6667
  no_ssl
end

b.run

Congratulations! You now have an IRC bot that does nothing but respond to pings and print out sent/received events. You should probably extend it to do more via Plugins.

Plugins

Plugins go in the /lib/plugin folder and look like this:

class MyPlugin < Rubotic::Plugin
  describe "a simple plugin"

  command '!hello' do
    describe  "say hello world"
    arguments 0..1
    usage     "[who]"

    run do |event, who = nil|
      who ||= default_who
      respond_to(event, "Hello, #{who}!")
    end
  end

  def initialize(bot)
    @bot = bot
  end

  def default_who
    "WORLD!"
  end
end

By default, all plugins are loaded if the plugin module is required.
