A ReactPHP Chatbot Framework for Sharkord

Sharkord Bot is a lightweight, asynchronous, heavily vibe-coded Sharkord bot framework built on top of ReactPHP. It handles the heavy lifting of WebSocket connections and event management, allowing you to focus on writing commands and logic.

Features

• Asynchronous: Built on ReactPHP's event loop for non-blocking I/O.
• Simple Command System: Create commands by simply dropping files into a folder.
• State Management: Built-in caching for Users and Channels.
• Zero Config Autoloading: No need to mess with composer.json to register your commands.

Requirements

• PHP 8.5 or higher
• Composer

Installation

Install Sharkord into your project using Composer:

composer require buzzmoody/sharkord

Getting Started

1. Create your project structure

You only need a single PHP file to run the bot and a folder for your commands. Your project folder should look like this:

my-bot/
├── vendor/                 <-- Created by Composer
├── Commands/               <-- Create this folder
│   └── Ping.php            <-- Your first command
├── bot.php                 <-- Your entry file
└── composer.json           <-- Created by Composer

2. Create the Entry File (bot.php)

Create a file named bot.php (or index.php) and add the following code. This initializes the bot and tells it where to find your commands. See examples/Main.php for latest example.

<?php

	declare(strict_types=1);
	
	error_reporting(E_ALL);

	require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

	use Sharkord\Sharkord;
	use Sharkord\Models\Message;

	$bot = new Sharkord([
		'identity' 	=> $_ENV['CHAT_USERNAME'],
		'password'	=> $_ENV['CHAT_PASSWORD'],
		'host'		=> $_ENV['CHAT_HOST'],
	]);
	
	/*
	* If you want to use dynamically loaded commands as per the examples directory
	* uncomment the below along with the preg_match if statement further down
	*/
	# $bot->loadCommands(__DIR__ . '/Commands');

	$bot->on('ready', function() use ($bot) {
		echo "Logged in and ready to chat!\n";
	});

	$bot->on('message', function(Message $message) use ($bot) {
		
		echo sprintf(
			"(%s) [#%s] %s: %s\n",
			date("d/m h:i:sA"),
			$message->channel->name,
			$message->user->name,
			$message->content
		);
		
		/*
		* Uncomment if you're using dynamically loaded Commands.
		* Make sure to delete the ping/pong if statement.
		*/
		# if (preg_match('/^!([a-zA-Z]{2,})(?:\s+(.*))?$/', $message->content, $matches)) {
		#	 $bot->handleCommand($message, $matches);
		# }
		
		if ($message->content == '!ping') $message->channel->sendMessage('Pong!');
		
	});

	$bot->run();

?>

3. Create a Command (Commands/Ping.php)

Create a Commands folder. Inside, create a file named Ping.php.

Sharkord commands do not require namespaces, making them easy to write. Just implement the CommandInterface. See examples/Commands/Ping.php for latest example.

<?php

	use Sharkord\Commands\CommandInterface;
	use Sharkord\Models\Message;

	class Ping implements CommandInterface {
		
		private const RESPONSES = [
			"Pong! Right back at ya.",
			"Ping received. Pong!",
			"Got it!",
			"Ping received, initiating pong sequence... Pong!",
			"Did someone say ping? Pong!",
			"You rang? Pong!",
			"Copy that. Pong!",
			"The answer is always... pong."
		];

		public function getName(): string {
			return 'ping';
		}

		public function getDescription(): string {
			return 'Responds with Pong!';
		}
		
		public function getPattern(): string {
			return '/^ping$/';
		}

		public function handle(Message $message, string $args, array $matches): void {
			$message->reply(self::RESPONSES[array_rand(self::RESPONSES)]);
		}

	}

?>

4. Run the Bot

Open your terminal and run:

php bot.php

Advanced Usage

Using Namespaces

If you prefer to organize your commands with namespaces (PSR-4 style), you can pass the namespace as a second argument to loadCommands.

$bot->loadCommands(__DIR__ . '/src/Commands', 'MyBot\\Commands\\');

Event Listeners

You can hook into bot events directly from your bot.php file:

$bot->on('ready', function() {
    echo "Bot is connected and ready!\n";
});

$bot->on('message', function($message) {
    echo "New message from {$message->author->username}: {$message->content}\n";
});
