I was able to figure it out, but it took a bit longer. Maybe it would be worth mentioning in some example, that you should respond to message.prefix in case the target from Command::PRIVMSG(target, _) is the same as the current nickname. What to you think?
This question came up a few years ago (#20), and I think is definitely a confusing thing about the IRC protocol (PRIVMSG really doesn't sound like the name for sending a message to everything...). There's a useful utility function Message::response_target(...)
that will yield either the channel being messaged in a PRIVMSG
or NOTICE
or the nickname of the sender. I've pushed an update to develop that adds this information directly to the docs for PRIVMSG
and NOTICE
.
Thanks for the report though, and let me know if you think there's more that can be done to clear things up! 🍻
Hi,
first of all, thank you for the library, I really like it!
I have a bot, which works fine when I talk to it in a specific channel such as
#test
, but I'd also like to talk to it in a private conversation (/QUERY bot
...) so that I don't spam the channel too much. My code looks a lot like in the available examples: https://github.com/msehnout/lunch-bot/blob/master/src/main.rs#L125 but it does not respond and I cannot figure out how to make it work from the documentation. Can you help me with this? Is it possible?
