Library that gives you a reactive way to write IRC bots in Scala
It uses latest version of PircBotX library (https://code.google.com/p/pircbotx/) and just provide convenient, actor-driven way to write your bots.
Just add this to your SBT file:
libraryDependencies += "com.github.aalbul" %% "irc-actor" % "0.7.0"
For Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.aalbul</groupId>
<artifactId>irc-actor_2.10</artifactId>
<version>0.7.0</version>
</dependency>All you need to do is to create bot that will sub-class ReactiveBot trait.
class EchoBot extends ReactiveBot {
def receive: Receive = coreHooks() orElse {
case PrivateMessage(user, message) => sender ! SendPrivateMessage(user.nick, "echo: " + message)
case _@message => debug(message)
}
}To bootstrap your application you need to initialize second part: IrcClient like this:
object Runner {
def main(args: Array[String]) {
val config = ClientConfig("FloodBot", "Irc Bot", "irc.freenode.net", 6667, Seq(ChannelConf("#floodBot")))
val actorSystem = ActorSystem("irc-bot")
val client = actorSystem.actorOf(Props[IrcClient], "irc-client")
val bot = actorSystem.actorOf(Props[EchoBot], "actor-bot")
client ! Initialize(config)
client ! RegisterListener(bot)
}
}
