hubot-twitch-adapter v0.1.1

Twitch adapter for Hubot

Hubot is a chat bot by GitHub, modelled after their Campfire bot. Twitch is the world's leading video platform and community for gamers. This adapter allows your Hubot to join channels on Twitch.

Getting started

You will need a Twitch account to start, which you can sign up for free.

Next, you will need to create an account for your Hubot.

Hubot defaults to using its shell, so to use Twitch instead, you can run hubot with -a twitch-adapter:

% bin/hubot -a twitch-adapter

If you are deploying to Heroku or using foreman, you need to make sure the hubot is called with -a twitch-adapter in the Procfile:

web: bin/hubot -a twitch-adapter -n Hubot

Configuring

The adapter requires the following environment variables.

• HUBOT_TWITCH_USERNAME
• HUBOT_TWITCH_PASSWORD
• HUBOT_TWITCH_CHANNELS

You can use the Twitch Chat OAuth Password Generator to generate a password for your Hubot.

Configuring the variables on Heroku

% heroku config:set HUBOT_TWITCH_USERNAME="myusername"
% heroku config:set HUBOT_TWITCH_PASSWORD="oauth:mypassword"
