go-twitch-irc

This is an irc client for connecting to twitch. It handles the annoying stuff like irc tag parsing. I highly recommend reading the documentation below, but this readme gives a basic overview of the functionality.

Documentation: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/gempir/go-twitch-irc/v2?tab=doc

Getting Started

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/gempir/go-twitch-irc/v2"
)

func main() {
	// or client := twitch.NewAnonymousClient() for an anonymous user (no write capabilities)
	client := twitch.NewClient("yourtwitchusername", "oauth:123123123")

	client.OnPrivateMessage(func(message twitch.PrivateMessage) {
		fmt.Println(message.Message)
	})

	client.Join("gempir")

	err := client.Connect()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

Available Methods

ParseMessage parses a raw Twitch IRC message into a User and a message object. User can be nil.

func ParseMessage(line string) (*User, interface{})

Client Methods

These are the available methods of the client so you can get your bot going:

func (c *Client) Say(channel, text string)
func (c *Client) Whisper(username, text string)
func (c *Client) Join(channel string)
func (c *Client) Depart(channel string)
func (c *Client) Userlist(channel string) ([]string, error)
func (c *Client) Connect() error
func (c *Client) Disconnect() error

Options

On your client you can configure multiple options:

client.IrcAddress = "127.0.0.1:3030" // for custom irc server
client.TLS = false // enabled by default, will connect to non TLS server of twitch when off or the given client.IrcAddress
client.SetupCmd = "LOGIN custom_command_here" // Send a custom command on successful IRC connection, before authentication.
client.Capabilities = []string{twitch.TagsCapability, twitch.CommandsCapability} // Customize which capabilities are sent

Option modifications must be done before calling Connect on the client.

Capabilities

By default, the client sends along all 3 Twitch capabilities (Tags, Commands, Membership).

Callbacks

These callbacks are available to pass to the client:

client.OnConnect(func() {})
client.OnPrivateMessage(func(message PrivateMessage) {})
client.OnWhisperMessage(func(message WhisperMessage) {})
client.OnClearChatMessage(func(message ClearChatMessage) {})
client.OnClearMessage(func message ClearMessage) {})
client.OnRoomStateMessage(func(message RoomStateMessage) {})
client.OnUserNoticeMessage(func(message UserNoticeMessage) {})
client.OnUserstateMessage(func(message UserStateMessage) {})
client.OnNoticeMessage(func(message NoticeMessage) {})
client.OnUserJoinMessage(func(message UserJoinMessage) {})
client.OnUserPartMessage(func(message UserPartMessage) {})
