# dazeus-rs
Rust bindings for DaZeus
## Documentation
Documentation can be generated by running `cargo doc` in the project root. It
can also be [read online here](http://dazeus.github.io/dazeus-rs/dazeus/).
## Getting started
Unsurprisingly, these bindings require [Rust](http://www.rust-lang.org) to
be compiled. The compiled binary only needs libc.
To create a new plugin using these bindings simply run:
cargo new [plugin-name] --bin
Then in your `Cargo.toml` add:
[dependencies.dazeus]
git = "https://github.com/dazeus/dazeus-rs.git"
For parsing command line options I would also suggest you use something like
docopt, to use it, add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
[dependencies]
docopt = "0.6"
Then start by using this basic skeleton application in your `main.rs`:
```rust
extern crate dazeus;
extern crate docopt;
use dazeus::{DaZeus, DaZeusClient, EventType, Connection};
use docopt::Docopt;
// Write the Docopt usage string.
static USAGE: &'static str = "
A DaZeus plugin.
Usage:
dazeus-plugin [options]
Options:
-h, --help Show this help message
-s SOCKET, --socket=SOCKET Specify the socket DaZeus is listening to, use
`unix:/path/to/socket` or `tcp:host:port`
[default: unix:/tmp/dazeus.sock]
";
fn main() {
let args = Docopt::new(USAGE).and_then(|d| d.parse()).unwrap_or_else(|e| e.exit());
let socket = args.get_str("--socket");
let dazeus = DaZeus::new(Connection::from_str(socket).unwrap());
dazeus.subscribe(EventType::PrivMsg, |evt, dazeus| {
// reply requires an event, and a message (the third event
// parameter is the message sent to us)
dazeus.reply(&evt, &evt[3], true);
});
// We unwrap the result, which we will retrieve when listening has failed
dazeus.listen().unwrap();
}
```
Once you have set up your dependencies and created this main file you should be
ready to go using `cargo run`, cargo should install all dependencies, compile
your project and execute the result. If you don't have DaZeus running on your
local machine, or if the default socket location is not what you're looking for,
simply use `cargo run -- --socket=[your socket]`.
