Alias plugins calls and regex? #19

tsyesika commented 2013年01月18日 10:25:57 +01:00

I'd be cool if I've written a plugin I could get it called on not just the name of the plugin but also setup aliases e.g.

the help.py plugin also aliased to 'commands' so commands would also call it? I think that would be a good idea.

We also could have so maybe we want a silly plugin for animal noises so we could have

bot
and it'll respond with

if it doesn't know it maybe it could ask for it and store it so it does know so

!cowbot
moo

!pigbot
oink

etc... This could be handled by one plugin and allow some regex of some description or a list of things? I'm not sure but some way of calling a plugin other than by it's name could be really handy.

This can sort of be done with the new event system, but it needs more work to make it usable. Jess and I were talking about how to deal with this issue and came up with something like this:

import random
def init(connection):
 Event.register("pigbot", chooser)
 Event.register("8ball", chooser)
 Event.register("trevor", magical)
def chooser(connection):
 if not Info.args:
 Channel.action("slaps %s" % Info.nick)
 else:
 #config contains multiple entries for different aliases
 choices = Config["replies"][Info.plugin_name]
 Channel.send(random.choice(choices))
def magical(connection):
 Channel.action('waves his magic wand!')
 chooser(connection)
 Channel.action('takes a bow')

The idea is to make aliasing the norm and get rid of "call by filename"

Okay this will be done pretty much by #37

However, regex won't be yet, that should come later but definitly should come. Maybe 0.07?
