Fork of The Lounge web IRC client, adding an auto connect feature with an auto login feature for private mode. Lounge version v2.4.0 is supported.

git clone https://github.com/libertysoft3/lounge-autoconnect.git
cd lounge-autoconnect
git checkout v2.4.0-autoconnect
npm install
NODE_ENV=production npm run build

# Optional, creates config file, change default IRC server, etc:
node index config

npm start

• Public mode auto connect: http://localhost:9000/?tls=true&autoconnect&nick=lounger&username=lounger&realname=lounger&join=%23thelounge-spam
• Private mode auto login and connect: http://localhost:9000/?tls=true&autologin&user=lounger&al-password=lounger&autoconnect&nick=lounger&username=lounger&realname=lounger&join=%23thelounge-spam
• Private guest mode: http://localhost:9000/?tls=true&autologin&user=guest&autoconnect&nick=lounger&username=lounger&realname=lounger&join=%23thelounge-spam

Url params

• autologin: sign into or create a The Lounge private mode user account. Requires params user and al-password. (private mode only)
  • al-password: warning this is a cleartext url parameter
• autoconnect: automatically join the channels specified. Requires params nick, username, and realname (public or private modes)
  • join: connect to one or more channels. (as per core, the last channel specified will have it's chat shown to the user). e.g. &join=#channelA,#channelB
  • quit: quit any connected channels aside from the last channel specified in 'join'
  • NOTE: All of the "Connect" form fields can be passed via url parameters: name, host, port, password, tls, nick, username, realname, and join.
• lockchannel:
  • designed for multiple tabs/embeds with different join channels specified, so that channel focus/active/shown channel isn't stolen for subsequent joins
  • core: on any join, show that channel's chat
  • with lockchannel present your active room is locked down to the room specified in your url
  • when any client joins a channel, refuse to show the channel's room (unless it is the last channel specified in 'join', so that autoconnect still works)
• nofocus
  • on page load, if already connected, do not focus on the message input field
  • useful for iframes/embedded clients, to prevent chat input from taking focus
