| 2 summary: Module for improving the life of bot authors | |
| 3 --- | |
| 4 | |
| 5 This module makes it easier to write MUC bots by removing the | |
| 6 requirement that the bot be online and joined to the room. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 All the bot needs to do is send a message and this module handles the | |
| 9 rest. | |
| 10 | |
| 11 # Configuration | |
| 12 | |
| 13 Example configuration in Prosody: | |
| 14 | |
| 15 ```lua | |
| 16 Component "muc.example.com" "muc" | |
| 17 | |
| 18 modules_enabled = { | |
| 19 "muc_bot", | |
| 20 } | |
| 21 known_bots = { "bot@example.com" } | |
| 22 bots_get_messages = false | |
| 23 ignore_bot_errors = true | |
| 24 ``` | |
| 25 | |
| 26 # Sending messages | |
| 27 | |
| 28 Simply send a stanza like this from your bot: | |
| 29 | |
| 30 ```xml | |
| 31 <message type="groupchat" to="channel@muc.example.com"> | |
| 32 <body>Beep boop, I'm a bot!</body> | |
| 33 <nick xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/nick">Botty</nick> | |
| 34 </message> | |
| 35 ``` | |
| 36 | |
| 37 ## Use with mod_rest | |
| 38 | |
| 39 Using [mod_rest] to interact with MUC suffers from the same need to join | |
| 40 with an online resource, so this module helps with that as well! | |
| 41 | |
| 42 ```bash | |
| 43 curl https://xmpp.example.com/rest/message/groupchat/room@muc.example.com \ | |
| 44 -d body="beep boop" \ | |
| 45 -d nick="Botty" | |
| 46 ``` | |
| 47 | |
