ErlIRC - An Internet Relay Chat framework for Erlang

ErlIRC is a framework for writing IRC clients, servers, proxies and bots in Erlang.

Building ErlIRC

  • Download and install Rebar3.
  • rebar3 compile

Example Use

IRC Server

Run erl -name server -env ERL_LIBS _build/default/lib (or rebar3 shell) and run the following commands in the erlang shell:

([email protected])1> irc_app:start().
<SASL reports snipped>
([email protected])2> {ok, Server} = irc_sup:start_server("localnet","localhost").
<SASL reports snipped>
{ok,<0.54.0>}
([email protected])3> irc_server:listen(Server, 16667).
{ok,<0.56.0>}

Then from another bash console, telnet to the new server and send it IRC commands:

$ telnet localhost 16667
NICK test
USER test test localhost :Test User
JOIN :#test

IRC Client

Run erl -name client -env ERL_LIBS _build/default/lib and run the following commands in the erlang shell:

([email protected])1> {ok, C} = irc_client_fsm:start_link("erlirc","localhost", 16667).
{ok,<0.61.0>}
=INFO REPORT==== 7-Nov-2008::17:54:26 ===

=INFO REPORT==== 7-Nov-2008::17:54:26 ===
(<0.61.0> irc_client_fsm:153) :localhost 422 erlirc :NOMOTD

Note that the erlirc server and client don't quite agree enough at the moment to successfully join channels.
