plugAPI

About

A generic NodeJS API for creating plug.dj bots.

Originally by Chris Vickery, now maintained by TAT and The plug³ Team.

How to use

Run the following:

npminstallplugapi

You can choose to instantiate plugAPI with either Sync or Async:

Sync:

constPlugAPI=require('plugapi');constbot=newPlugAPI({email: '',password: ''});bot.connect('roomslug');// The part after https://plug.djbot.on(PlugAPI.events.ROOM_JOIN,(room)=>{console.log(`Joined ${room}`);});

Async:

constPlugAPI=require('plugapi');newPlugAPI({email: '',password: ''},(err,bot)=>{if(!err){bot.connect('roomslug');// The part after https://plug.djbot.on(PlugAPI.events.ROOM_JOIN,(room)=>{console.log(`Joined ${room}`);});}else{console.log(`Error initializing plugAPI: ${err}`);}});

New features in V5.0.0

Guest login is now possible if no userdata is passed into plugAPI or guest is set to true

Guest:

constPlugAPI=require('plugapi');constbot=newPlugAPI();// ORconstbot=newPlugAPI({guest: true});

Facebook login is now possible. Easiest way to obtain the Access Token and user ID is to login via fb on plug and view the request data.

Facebook:

constPlugAPI=require('plugapi');constbot=newPlugAPI({facebook: {accessToken: 'xxxxxxxx',userID: 'xxxxxxxx'}});

PlugAPI now uses tough-cookie to store cookies. Refer to the wiki for more information.

EventListener

You can listen on essentially any event that plug emits.

// basic chat handler to show incoming chats formatted nicelybot.on(PlugAPI.events.CHAT,(data)=>{if(data.type==='emote'){console.log(data.from+data.message);}else{` console.log(`${data.from}> ${ data.message}`);}});

Here's an example for automatic reconnecting on errors / close events

constreconnect=()=>{bot.connect(ROOM);};bot.on('close',reconnect);bot.on('error',reconnect);

Misc Options

Multi line chat

Since plug.dj cuts off chat messages at 250 characters, you can choose to have your bot split up chat messages into multiple lines.

Delete Message Blocks

With how plug currently works, deleting messages deletes the entire group of messages from the same user. Set this option to disallow that.

Delete All Chat

PlugAPI mimics plug's behavior in disallowing deletion of chat of users above the bot's rank. Setting this option to true will bypass that check.

varbot=newPlugAPI(auth);bot.deleteMessageBlocks=false;//set to true if you want the bot to not delete grouped messages. Default is false.bot.deleteAllChat=false;// Set to true to enable deletion of chat regardless of role . Default is falsebot.multiLine=true;// Set to true to enable multi line chat. Default is falsebot.multiLineLimit=5;// Set to the maximum number of lines the bot should split messages up into. Any text beyond this number will just be omitted. Default is 5.
