GoIRC Client Framework

Acquiring and Building

Pretty simple, really:

go get github.com/fluffle/goirc/client

There is some example code that demonstrates usage of the library in client.go. This will connect to freenode and join #go-nuts by default, so be careful ;-)

See fix/goirc.go and the README there for a quick way to migrate from the
old go1 API.

Using the framework

Synopsis:

package main

import (
	"crypto/tls"
	"fmt"

	irc "github.com/fluffle/goirc/client"
)

func main() {
	// Creating a simple IRC client is simple.
	c := irc.SimpleClient("nick")

	// Or, create a config and fiddle with it first:
	cfg := irc.NewConfig("nick")
	cfg.SSL = true
	cfg.SSLConfig = &tls.Config{ServerName: "irc.freenode.net"}
	cfg.Server = "irc.freenode.net:7000"
	cfg.NewNick = func(n string) string { return n + "^" }
	c = irc.Client(cfg)

	// Add handlers to do things here!
	// e.g. join a channel on connect.
	c.HandleFunc(irc.CONNECTED,
		func(conn *irc.Conn, line *irc.Line) { conn.Join("#channel") })
	// And a signal on disconnect
	quit := make(chan bool)
	c.HandleFunc(irc.DISCONNECTED,
		func(conn *irc.Conn, line *irc.Line) { quit <- true })

	// Tell client to connect.
	if err := c.Connect(); err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Connection error: %s\n", err.Error())
	}

	// With a "simple" client, set Server before calling Connect...
	c.Config().Server = "irc.freenode.net"

	// ... or, use ConnectTo instead.
	if err := c.ConnectTo("irc.freenode.net"); err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Connection error: %s\n", err.Error())
	}

	// Wait for disconnect
	<-quit
}

The test client provides a good (if basic) example of how to use the framework.
Reading client/handlers.go gives a more in-depth look at how handlers can be
written. Commands to be sent to the server (e.g. PRIVMSG) are methods of the
main *Conn struct, and can be found in client/commands.go (not all of the
possible IRC commands are implemented yet). Events are produced directly from
the messages from the IRC server, so you have to handle e.g. "332" for
RPL_TOPIC to get the topic for a channel.

The vast majority of handlers implemented within the framework deal with state
tracking of all nicks in any channels that the client is also present in. These
handlers are in client/state_handlers.go. State tracking is optional, disabled
by default, and can be enabled and disabled by calling EnableStateTracking()
and DisableStateTracking() respectively. Doing this while connected to an IRC
server will probably result in an inconsistent state and a lot of warnings to
STDERR ;-)

Misc.

Sorry the documentation is crap. Use the source, Luke.

Feedback on design decisions is welcome. I am
indebted to Matt Gruen for his work on
go-bot which inspired
the re-organisation and channel-based communication structure of *Conn.send()
and *Conn.recv(). I'm sure things could be more asynchronous, still.
