Add error emitter

[0xVasconcelos]

Add error emitters to manually handle.

ex: bot.on('error', function(err){});

Especially if fails to connect, throw a error on connection fail.

Only log to app error logger is not flexible.

Hi ! Yes it could be great to add an error listener, but I rather think you can handle your code, for now, with

try{
 ... your code ...
} 
catch(err){
 ...handle err here ...
}

Errors aren't just logged insofar as they can crash an app, with a try{] catch(){], you can receive the triggered error and do what you want with it.
It could be a welcomed feature for V4 but since NodeJS is written like this, every fatal error will lead to a process kill by NodeJS so... ( I'm not a NodeJS expert on that point btw )

Thanks.

I already tried try and catch and won't work, the code is using process.exit().

I forked, if I have some progress i'll make a pull request.

Thanks!

I was going to work on throwing errors or using callbacks, depending on if a callback is being used or not in version 4.0 but if you could contribute your code as well that'd be great 👍

[0xVasconcelos]

Yes, I don't have so much time to work on it, but I'll try.
But, you can make a option on instance call to throw errors or just log to app error logger, will be awesome.
I'm trying to implement your API in a cool project and I need to instantiate your API several times, so without error throwing is impossible to implement.

I've made it so it returns the error in async mode in a callback and throws an error in sync mode in the latest version. Would you still like me to add the option to emit errors instead as an option?

So does that mean, we can listen for error when the bot fails because plugdj is in maintenance mode, and responde accordingly without the node app crashing? :O

That'd save my life.

[thedark1337]

Plug does send a message to everyone ( a system message) for when maintenance is about to begin, i can add in that in the next release and you can listen to it and handle it your own way... ex

bot.on(bot.PLUG_MAINT, function(data) {
 // handle maintenance here.
 });

Not currently Implemented but will be soonish.

Currently what is implemented is better error handling for Sync and offloading most errors for async to the developer of the bot..

[johnRivs]

The maintenance example you showed seems cool.

I'm gonna have a look around the error thing, cuz I'm done dealing with unlistened errors.

[thedark1337]

@johnRivs I've added a warning when plug alerts there will be a maintenance mode soon and the example code i gave should work (its actually MAINT_MODE though) in the latest version 👍
