KwirK

KwirK aims to be a sophisticated, multi-network, multi-protocol utility bot that can act as a bridge between popular services.

Goals

• support multiple chat protocols
  • IRC is the current focus with Slack and HipChat next on the list
• link channels on the different networks (IRC<->IRC is alpha)
• transparent channel encryption with DiffieHellman key exchange
• http administrative front-end and client area
• ability to link multiple bots
• eggdrop like command console, but not with telnet
• plugin system
• translation, in channel, channel to channel, and pm to pm as proxy
• much more, this list will certainly expand

Installation

npm install kwirk [--save]

or

clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/jfrazx/KwirK/

If you haven't setup your environment:

npm install -g typescript tsd

npm install
tsd install

( the node.d.ts file I'm using is modified, if it gets overwritten... )

Functionality

IRC is mostly stable, but with little other than providing building blocks. Emitted events will (eventually) be catalogued appropriately. In the interim take a look at the defined IRC Constants (/src/constants/constants.ts) IRC to IRC binding appears to be working well.

Example

var Kwirk    = require( 'kwirk' )
  , bot      = new Kwirk.Bot();

var freenode = {
  type: 'irc',
  name: 'freenode',
  servers: [
    {
      host: 'adams.freenode.net',
      port: 7000,   // defaults to 6667
      ssl: true,    // default to false
      enable: false // defaults to true
    },
    {
      host: 'asimov.freenode.net',
      port: 7000,
      ssl: true
    }
  ],
  channels: [
    {
      name: '#bot-playground',
    }
  ]
};

var efnet = {
  type: 'irc',
  name: 'efnet',
  servers: [
    {
      host: 'efnet.port80.se',
    },
    {
      host: 'irc.swepipe.se',
    }
  ],
  channels: [
    {
      name: '#kwirk',
    }
  ],
  nick: 'KwirKBot',      // defaults to 'kwirk'
}

var server = {
  host: 'irc.choopa.net',
  port: 9999,
  ssl: true
};

bot
.addNetwork( freenode )
.addNetwork( efnet, function( err, network ) {
  network.addServer( server, function( err, server ) {
    server.disable();
  });
});

// this is binding to the efnet network and the #kwirk channel
bot.network['efnet'].bind({
  source_channel: '#kwirk',
  // the target will be freenode network and the #bot-playground channel
  target_network: 'freenode',
  target_channel: '#bot-playground',
  prefix_source: true
})

// reject, accept and map will all be passed a message object
.reject( function( message ) {
  return message.content.match(/^\+?!\w+/);
})
// opposing bind will be created, true value will inherit rejects, accepts and maps
.opposing( true )
.prefix_source = false;

bot.start();

Contributing

1. Fork it ( https://github.com/jfrazx/KwirK/fork )
2. Adhere to naming conventions (transition in progress)

• Indentation is two (2) spaces
• File name to match Object/Class name in lowercase and underscored (irc_server.ts for IrcServer)
• Treat acronyms in object names as words (Irc instead of IRC)
• Variables to be lowercase, _ delimited words (my_var)
• Function names to be camelCase, starting with lowercase (myFunction)
• Class names to be CamelCase, starting with uppercase (MyClass)
