IRC Adapter for Sails.js Framework

Setup a new Bot

Set up your model

// myApp/api/models/My_adapter.js

module.exports = {
	adapter: ['ircAdapter'],
//	use 'connections' for v.10 apps instead of 'adapter'
//	connections: ['ircAdapter'],
	attributes: {

	}
};

Add the adapter to your adapters.js file.

// myApp/config/adapters.js

module.exports.adapters = {

 'default': 'disk',
  disk: {
    module: 'sails-disk'
  },
  ircAdapter:{
    module: 'sails-irc'
  }
};

Launch the bot on lift()

// myApp/api/services/ServiceAdapters.js

module.exports = (function(){

  var botConfig = {
  	    botName:'l33tB0t69',
  	    botHost:'chat.freenode.net',
  	    channels:['#sailsjs'],
  	    events:{
  	        error:console.log,
  	        join:console.log,
  	        part:console.log,
  	        message:console.log,
  	        say:console.log,
  	        registered:console.log
  }

	My_adapter.newBot(botConfig,function newBotCB(err,info){
	    if (err){
	        console.log('Bot Creation Error: '+err);
	    } else {
	        console.log('Bot Creation info:'+info);   
	    }
	});

})();

	

There are many more events. I will document all of them when I can.

TODO

- Verify Options object on all methods.
- Allow for saving config sets in config.js (and verication of them in registerCollection)
- Finish writing private event methods
- Do teardown of bots
- Allow for joining/leaving multiple channels.  Detect if array or string is supplied in options.
- Write code to streamAttendance();
