All plugins need to 'from util import hook' if they want to be callable.
|
|
|
|
There are three ways to set when a plugin is called using
|
|
decorators. @hook.command causes it to be callable using normal command
|
|
syntax; an argument will register it under that name (so if my function is
|
|
called foo and I use @hook.command, .foo will work; if I use
|
|
@hook.command("bar"), .bar will work but not .foo). The first argument, inp,
|
|
will be the text that occurs after the command. (e.g., "bar" in ".foo bar").
|
|
|
|
@hook.regex takes an argument corresponding to the regex string (not the
|
|
compiled regex), followed by optional flags. It will attempt to match the regex
|
|
on all inputs; if so, the hooked function will be called with the match object.
|
|
|
|
@hook.event requires a parameter; if it's '*", it will trigger on every line. If
|
|
it's 'PRIVMSG', it'll trigger on only actual lines of chat (not
|
|
nick-changes). The first argument in these cases will be a two-element list of
|
|
the form ["#channel", "text"]; I don't know what it's like for NICK or other
|
|
'commands'.
|
|
|
|
@hook.singlethread indicates that the command should run in its own thread; this
|
|
means that you can't use the existing database connection object!
|
|
|
|
In addition to the standard argument, plugins can take other arguments; db is
|
|
the database object; input corresponds to the triggering line of text, and bot
|
|
is the bot itself.
