#Hircarra

Build Status

hircarra (plural hircarras)

(historical, India) A messenger, especially one who delivers a personal message.

Hircarra is a Haskell library to write IRC bots. It is meant to be very easy to use and completely extensible. It provides a core on which users can add support for their own IRC messages and replies and handlers. It also comes with a set of handlers (in the hircarra-handlers package) which provide a varied set of functionalities.

Example Usage

To start an IRC with no handlers:

$ cabal repl
*Network.IRC> let botConfig = newBotConfig "irc.freenode.net" 6667 "#hircarra" (Nick "hibot") 130 DEBUG
*Network.IRC> runBot botConfig

Features

Core features:

  1. Very simple interface. Just create a BotConfig and call runBot with it.
  2. Automatically handles disconnetions and reconnections.
  3. Automatically changes nick if not available and recovers the original nick when it becomes available.
  4. Comes with standard IRC command support built in but users can extend it to add support for custom IRC commands.
  5. Users can add handlers which can react to IRC commands from channels and from private messages.

Writing Handlers

Let's write a simple echo handler:

$ ghci -package-db=./.cabal-sandbox/x86_64-osx-ghc-7.8.3-packages.conf.d

Here is how the conversation looked in an IRC client:

[18:28:56] 	hibot (~hibot@106.51.139.38) joined the channel
[18:28:59]  <@abh>	test test
[18:29:00]  <hibot>	test test

[18:29:11] 	hibot (~hibot@106.51.139.38) left IRC (Client Quit)
