Hackmud-ChatAPI

Class: Account

new Account(token, tick_rate)

token <string>
tick_rate <integer> Default: 1000

Creates a new account associated with the token specified token. For more information about tick_rate, see account.tick_rate

Account.getToken(pass)

pass <string> The password, as returned from chat_pass ingame.
Returns: <Promise <string>>

Fetches a new chat token from the specified pass.

Event: 'message'

user <string> The user on which received this message
message <Message> The message itself

Fired whenever a message is received on this account.

account.destroy()

Destroys this account. This calls destroy on the agent and stops the tick mechanism. You must call this function before exiting. Otherwise, the tick mechanism will always keep the event loop busy, and the node process will never exit.

account.fetchUsers()

Returns: <Promise <string[]>>

Fetch the userdata for this account. The data will be stored in account.userData, the usernames in account.users. The Promise resolves to the new value of account.users.

account.getHistory(usernames)

usernames <string[]> The usernames to return history for. Default: account.users
before <Date> The latest point in time for which a message may be returned. Default: Date.now()
Returns: <Promise <Object[]>>

Get the chat history of this account.

account.getUser(username)

username <string> The name of the user to return
Returns: <User> | <null>

Get a specific user. If the user does not exist on this account, this method returns null. Note: This function performs no update checks and works solely off of the value of account.users. It is thus recommended to call account.fetchUsers() before calling this method.

account.request(endpoint, data)

endpoint <string> The server endpoint to send the request to.
data <Object> The data to include in the request. Default: {}
Returns: <Promise <Object>>

Send a request on behalf of this account. The account's agent and token will be automatically used/added for/to the request. The Promise returned resolves with the body of the reply.

account.send(sender, channel, message)

sender <string> The user to send the message from
channel <string> The channel to send the message to
message <string> The message content
Returns: <Promise <boolean>> The value of ok in the reply

Send a message to a channel. Acts like chats.send ingame. The message may be looped back in a message event(#eventmessage).

account.tell(sender, to, message)

sender <string> The user to send the tell from
to <string> the user to send the tell to.
message <string> The message content
Returns: <Promise <boolean>> The value of ok in the reply

Send a tell to a user. Acts like chats.tell ingame. The message may be looped back in a message event.

account.tick()

Perform a tick for this account. User code should rarely, if ever, call this function. The new tick is scheduled after this method completes.

account.agent

<https.Agent>

The agent this account uses for outgoing requests. This agent is created with {keepAlive: true}.

account.last_tick

<integer>

The last time a tick completed, but before the respective events are fired.

account.tickTimeout

<Timeout> | <null>

The timeout of the next tick. May be stale (used up) or null if tick_rate is Infinity.

account.tick_rate
