Lita::Adapters::Tox

Tox adapter for the Lita chat bot.

WARNING

Still in development. Read the README carefully.

TODO

Current development version have some limitations which should be fixed in first release:

• [issue #16] libtoxcore is not included in the gem. It should be compiled manually to build the gem native extension successfully. Follow the instructions in that file

• [issue #17] JRuby is not supported. Only C extension for Tox is implemented

• [issue #18] Message length is limited to value of TOX_MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH (see source code of libtoxcore)

• Adapter has incomplete API for Lita. Only basic methods are implemented

Usage

At first, see the documentation for Lita: http://docs.lita.io/

Installation

libtoxcore should be compiled manually at your computer or server. Follow the instructions in that file

When libtoxcore is installed, add lita-tox to your Lita instance's Gemfile:

gem 'lita-tox', '~> 0.3.0'

Configuration

config.robot.name will be used as Tox user name

Mentions in Tox usually use user name, Tox clients usually allow mentioning by writing first letters of user name and pressing <Tab>, so don't use config.robot.mention_name

Optional attributes

• savedata_filename (String) - Path to file where Tox state will be stored (if provided)
• status (String) - Tox user status

Example

This is an example lita_config.rb file:

Lita.configure do |config|
  config.robot.name = 'Lita chat bot'

  config.robot.adapter = :tox

  config.adapters.tox.savedata_filename = 'savedata'
  config.adapters.tox.status = "Send me \"#{config.robot.name}: help\""
end
