Twitch.js - Authentication for TMI.js
Use tmi.js with the added benefits of twitch-auth's automatic token handling.
Installation
yarn add twitch-auth twitch-auth-tmi
or using npm:
npm install twitch-auth twitch-auth-tmi
How to use
This package is generally used like tmi.js is normally, with just a single minor change.
It completely ignores the identity option, and instead takes an authProvider option which takes an
AuthProvider
instance that can be used for other twitch packages as well.
This also offers the additional benefit of being able to refresh tokens internally using a refreshable AuthProvider.
Example
Taken from the tmi.js README and adapted for this package:
const tmi = require('twitch-auth-tmi');
const { StaticAuthProvider } = require('twitch-auth');
const authProvider = new StaticAuthProvider('my-client-id', 'my-bot-token');
const client = new tmi.Client({
options: { debug: true, messagesLogLevel: 'info' },
connection: {
reconnect: true,
secure: true
},
authProvider: authProvider,
channels: ['my-channel']
});
client.connect().catch(console.error);
client.on('message', (channel, tags, message, self) => {
if (self) return;
if (message.toLowerCase() === '!hello') {
client.say(channel, `@${tags.username}, heya!`);
}
});If you're getting stuck...
