usage

getting started

new Cactus(password || options)

Returns a new instance of Cactus and will try to connect to a server, provided that opts.connect isn't set to false.

options

• opts.password - password used for identification; if you don't know what it is - click here (required)
• opts.login (default serveradmin)
• opts.ip (default localhost) - ip to which the client will try to connect to
• opts.port (default 10011) - same as above
• opts.server_number (default 1) - sets the server index for the use x command, leave as default if you don't know what that is
• opts.connect (default true) - determines whether the bot should attempt connecting immediately
• opts.display_name (default Cactus) - the name that the bot will appear as

events

Cactus extends your old and loved EventEmitter, and will emit the following events

.on('ready', [callback]) -> cb()

Probably the only one you'll ever need, gets emitted when all the boring stuff is finished and the bot is ready to accept commands.

.on('motd', [callback]) -> cb(msg)

Emitted when the server sends out its welcome message,

methods

.connect([ip, [port]])

Use this if you have opts.connect set to false. Attempts to connect to a server at the given address.

.send(command, [[[parameters, [[options, [callback]) -> cb(res)

res => {
    err: {id: '0', msg: 'ok'},
    body: {
        version: '3.0.0-alpha4',
        build: '9155',
        platform: 'Linux'
    }
}

Prepares a nicely escaped command with optionals parameters and options, passes res in the given format above to the callback. Refer to the tests.

• command#String of lowercase letters only, refer to the pdf (required)
• parameters#Object containing your keys and values
• options#Array with different switches for your command --without-- the dash (e.g. uid, away)

See the tests for examples of usage.

.raw(string, [callback]) -> cb(res)

Queries a raw string of the command to the server, has to be escaped (page 5 in the pdf). Passes res to the callback.

.register(type, [id], [callback]) -> cb(res)

Registers callbacks to special events emitted by the server, provided that you ask it nicely. type depends on the type of events you want to register, so type is:

• messages
  • private-message - listen to all private messages sent to the bot, this also includes your own messages that you send to others, so be sure to put a check in place for that.
  • channel-message - requires id - get messages in the channel referred to by the id
  • server-message - all messages in the global server channel
• client-moved - requires id - fires whenether a user switches to, or gets moved into a channel.
• client-joined - listen to clients joining the server, or more specifically your bot's view, if you have weird permissions for the SQ on your server.
• client-left - same as above, but with leaving.
