Crate dazeus

DaZeus IRC bot bindings for Rust.

For using these bindings you will need to setup a dazeus-core instance. For users using OSX and Homebrew, a tap is available.

The best way to get started is by using the connection_from_str function provided. It allows the creation of a Connection, which can be fed directly to the DaZeus::new constructor.

Creating a new connection can now be done using the following basic snippet:

let dazeus = DaZeus::new(Connection::from_str(socket).unwrap());

After having created an instance of DaZeus you can start sending commands using one of the methods provided. Alternatively you can send Request objects directly using the DaZeusClient::send() method, however this is generally not recommended.

You can register new listeners using the DaZeus::subscribe() and DaZeus::subscribe_command() methods. You provide these with functions which will be called every time such an event occurs.

After you have enabled any event subscribers you need to use the DaZeus::listen() method, or check for new events manually using DaZeus::try_next_event().

Examples

The example below creates a simple echo server which responds to some PrivMsg with the exact same reply, only prepending the user that sent the message, so that a highlight is created in IRC clients configured as such.

let socket = "unix:/tmp/dazeus.sock";
let dazeus = DaZeus::new(Connection::from_str(socket).unwrap());
dazeus.subscribe(EventType::PrivMsg, |evt, dazeus| {
    dazeus.reply(&evt, &evt[3], true);
});
dazeus.listen();

The example below creates a connection to the DaZeus server and then immediately joins a channel, and waits for a response until the join was confirmed by the DaZeus core. Note how this is just a short-run command, in contrast to the previous example that will keep running for as long as it can.

let socket = "unix:/tmp/dazeus.sock";
let dazeus = DaZeus::new(Connection::from_str(socket).unwrap());
dazeus.join("local", "#test");
