Plugins

Please see the plugins repository for a complete list of plugins.

You can also write your own, it's really simple.

Protocols

Slack

To deploy your go-bot to Slack, you need to:

  • Create a new bot user integration on Slack and get your token
  • Import the package github.com/go-chat-bot/bot/slack
  • Import the commands you would like to use
  • Call slack.Run(token)

Here is a full example reading the Slack token from the SLACK_TOKEN env var:

package main

import (
    "os"

    "github.com/go-chat-bot/bot/slack"
    _ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catfacts"
    _ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catgif"
    _ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/chucknorris"
    // Import all the commands you wish to use
)

func main() {
    slack.Run(os.Getenv("SLACK_TOKEN"))
}

IRC

To deploy your own go-bot to IRC, you need to:

  • Import the package github.com/go-chat-bot/bot/irc
  • Import the commands you would like to use
  • Fill the Config struct
  • Call irc.Run(config)

Here is a full example:

package main
	import (
		"github.com/go-chat-bot/bot/irc"
		_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catfacts"
		_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catgif"
		_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/chucknorris"
		// Import all the commands you wish to use
		"os"
		"strings"
	)

	func main() {
		irc.Run(&irc.Config{
			Server:   os.Getenv("IRC_SERVER"),
			Channels: strings.Split(os.Getenv("IRC_CHANNELS"), ","),
			User:     os.Getenv("IRC_USER"),
			Nick:     os.Getenv("IRC_NICK"),
			Password: os.Getenv("IRC_PASSWORD"),
			UseTLS:   true,
			Debug:    os.Getenv("DEBUG") != "",})
	}

To join channels with passwords just put the password after the channel name separated by a space:

Channels: []string{"#mychannel mypassword", "#go-bot"}

Telegram

To deploy your go-bot to Telegram, you need to:

  • Follow Telegram instructions to create a new bot user and get your token
  • Import the package github.com/go-chat-bot/bot/telegram
  • Import the commands you would like to use
  • Call telegram.Run(token, debug)

Here is a full example reading the telegram token from the TELEGRAM_TOKEN env var:

package main

import (
    "os"

    "github.com/go-chat-bot/bot/telegram"
    _ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catfacts"
    _ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catgif"
    _ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/chucknorris"
    // Import all the commands you wish to use
)

func main() {
    telegram.Run(os.Getenv("TELEGRAM_TOKEN"), os.Getenv("DEBUG") != "")
}

Rocket.chat

To deploy your go-bot to Rocket.chat, you need to:

  • Import the package github.com/go-chat-bot/bot/rocket
  • Import the commands you would like to use
  • Call rocket.Run(config)

Here is a full example:

package main

import (
	"os"

	"github.com/go-chat-bot/bot/rocket"
	_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/godoc"
	_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catfacts"
	_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/catgif"
	_ "github.com/go-chat-bot/plugins/chucknorris"
)

func main() {
	config := &rocket.Config{
		Server:   os.Getenv("ROCKET_SERVER"),
		Port:     os.Getenv("ROCKET_PORT"),
		User:     os.Getenv("ROCKET_USER"),
		Email:    os.Getenv("ROCKET_EMAIL"),
		Password: os.Getenv("ROCKET_PASSWORD"),
		UseTLS:   false,
		Debug:    os.Getenv("DEBUG") != "",
	}
	rocket.Run(config)
}
