Support for Turntable.fm's New Features

[ghost]

I finally got Git working again so here's a pull request that has support for Turntable.fm's new features.

A: Get Fan Info B: Get Fan Of Info

Did you test it ?

[ghost]

no, this is the code that I got from Issue #210

[alaingilbert]

It's not even close to look like coffeescript code.

It's not even close to being correct. Please stop. Do not attempt to patch the TTAPI, thank you, drive through...

@alaingilbert what do you use to compile your coffeescript code?

[alaingilbert]

I use coffee-script. In order to contribute, follow the steps:

• npm install
• make

npm install will install coffee-script make will compile the src/ folder to lib/

When I want to test, this is what I do :

dev.coffee

repl = require('repl')
Bot = require('./Turntable-API/src/bot').Bot
bot = new Bot 'xxx', 'xxx', 'xxx'
bot.debug = true
repl.start('> ').context.bot = bot

prod.coffee

repl = require('repl')
Bot = require('./Turntable-API/lib/bot').Bot
bot = new Bot 'xxx', 'xxx', 'xxx'
bot.debug = true
repl.start('> ').context.bot = bot

And my architecture looks like :

|-- dev.coffee
|-- prod.coffee
|-- Turntable-API
    |-- Makefile
    |-- src
    |-- lib
    |-- ...

Basically, dev.coffee will let you work with the coffee-script ttapi and prod.coffee will use the compiled sources. (If you want to make sure everything still work when compiled)

[alaingilbert]

If you want to execute your bot in coffeescript...

npm install -g coffee-script then: coffee dev.coffee

That's it... you're not obligated to compile the sources...

Cool thank you @alaingilbert! I'll try that out tonight. FYI you have some id info you might want to remove ^

I guess the npm install when run in your local directory, figures out what needs to be installed locally. In this case the coffee-script compiler. ...and the npm install -g coffee-script installs it so you can run it in any directory ( -g = global ). Good to know. https://npmjs.org/doc/install.html

@Turntablelover The code I posted was from the tt.fm JS. It will not work, it is not even coffee script o_0

@alaingilbert btw make wasn't working for me, probably because I'm using git bash on a windows machine. I had to use coffee -c bot.coffee in the src directory to compile the bot.coffee to bot.js for testing purposes. Doing it this way obviously puts the compiled output in the src directory, but it's pretty easy to copy it to the right place for testing.

[alaingilbert]

@DubbyTT if make doesn't work, you can compile the sources with : ./node_modules/.bin/coffee -pc src/bot.coffee > lib/bot.js

Anyway, I'll probably change the makefile for a cakefile. so it'll work on windows too.
