Summary

Core

Creating news Modules

The bot come with a Module system and a Module manager that allow you to create Modules for your custom commands. Your module must implement the Skinny\Module\ModuleInterface.

Here is the default template for a module, named Basic for example :

src/Module/Modules/Basic.php

<?php
namespace Bot\Module\Modules;

use Skinny\Module\ModuleInterface;
use Skinny\Network\Wrapper;

class Basic implements ModuleInterface
{

    /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     *
     * @param \Skinny\Network\Wrapper $wrapper The Wrapper instance.
     * @param array $message The message array.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function onChannelMessage(Wrapper $wrapper, $message)
    {
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     *
     * @param \Skinny\Network\Wrapper $wrapper The Wrapper instance.
     * @param array $message The message array.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function onPrivateMessage(Wrapper $wrapper, $message)
    {
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     *
     * @param \Skinny\Network\Wrapper $wrapper The Wrapper instance.
     * @param array $message The message array.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function onCommandMessage(Wrapper $wrapper, $message)
    {
    }
}

With these 3 functions you can handle every messages on discord :

  • Command Message : A normal message in a channel WITH a valid command.
  • Private Message : A private message.
  • Channel Message : A normal message in a channel WITHOUT a valid command.

For example if we want to do a !say [text] command, we could do that in the onCommandMessage function :

public function onCommandMessage(Wrapper $wrapper, $message)
{
    switch ($message['command']) {
        case 'say':
            $wrapper->Channel->sendMessage($message['parts'][1]);

            break;
    }
}

Then we need to add this command in the config/commands.php file :

'say' => [
    'params' => 1,
    'syntax' => 'Say [Message]'
]

That's all, you did a !say command.

The variable $message

This variable is created by the class Skinny\Message\Message and is an array. For example with the phrase !dev param1 param2 param3 etc, we will have the following array :

[
    'raw' => '!dev param1 param2 param3 etc',
    'parts' => [
            (int) 0 => '!dev',
            (int) 1 => 'param1 param2 param3 etc'
    ],
    'command' => 'dev',
    'message' => 'param1 param2 param3 etc',
    'commandCode' => '!',
    'arguments' => [
            (int) 0 => 'param1',
            (int) 1 => 'param2',
            (int) 2 => 'param3',
            (int) 3 => 'etc'
    ]
]

The object $wrapper

The object is an instance of the class Skinny\Network\Wrapper and is used as a wrapper to split all the Discord's classes for a better accessibility and clarity when developing modules.

For example, doing a debug() on this object would generate the following output :

object(Skinny\Network\Wrapper) {
    ModuleManager => object(Skinny\Module\ModuleManager) {
        ...
    }
    Message => object(Discord\Parts\Channel\Message) {
        ...
    }
    Channel => object(Discord\Parts\Channel\Channel) {
        ...
    }
    Guild => object(Discord\Parts\Guild\Guild) {
        ...
    }
    Members => object(Discord\Repository\Guild\MemberRepository) {
        ...
    }
}

The Module System

As i said before, this bot implement a Module system. The Module system work like that in debug mode only : The Module system load the file's contents first, then use preg_replace() to replace the original class-name with a random one. After that, its create a copy and include it.

When a message is triggered, the module system will do some tests on it to ensure it's a valid message, then it will dispath it into all the loaded modules.

Plugins

Yes, you can create plugins for this bot. While i recommend to create a plugin using composer you can also create a plugin without using composer, it can be usefull when you develop a plugin. You can find the demo plugin named Basic here.

Creating a Plugin with composer

Creating a plugin with composer is easy. First you must create a composer.json file like this :

{
    "name": "skinnybot/basic",
    "description": "A simple plugin for Skinny.",
    "homepage": "https://github.com/SkinnyBot/Basic",
    "keywords": ["discord", "bot", "skinny", "plugin"],
    "type": "skinny-plugin",
    "license": "MIT",
    "require": {
        "php": ">=5.6",
        "skinnybot/skinny": "dev-master"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "Basic\\": "src"
        }
    },
    "autoload-dev": {
        "psr-4": {
            "BasicTest\\": "tests"
        }
    },
    "minimum-stability": "stable"
}

Note : The type of the composer file must be skinny-plugin, else your plugin won't work. The hierarchical structure of the files will be like this :

/config/
    /bootstrap.php
    /commands.php
/src/
    /Module/
        /Modules/
            /Basic.php
composer.json

When you have finished to code your plugin, you must of course publish it on Packagist.

Creating a Plugin without composer

When you create a plugin without composer, your plugins must be in the plugins folder. Let's create the same Basic plugin without composer, the hierarchical structure of the files will be like this :

config/
plugins/
    /Basic/
        /config/
            /bootstrap.php
            /commands.php
        /src/
            /Module/
                /Modules/
                    /Basic.php
src/
tmp/

After you have created your plugin, you must tell to composer to do the dumpautoload event, so the plugin will be registered in the vendor/skinny-plugins.php file and it will update your autoloader :

composer dumpautoload

After that, you will need to load the plugin in the config/bootstrap.php file in your application :

Plugin::load('Basic');
//Or if you're using a bootstrap file :
Plugin::load('Basic', ['bootstrap' => true]);
