Passing configuration to a plugin

[nTraum]

Hi,

I know this is not a support forum but I either didn't check the docs correctly or the specific use case is missing.

I want to pass down plugin specific configuration to a plugin (e.g. via a Hash). How can I achieve this?

assuming my plugin is:

require 'cinch'
class Foo
  include Cinch::Plugin
  listen_to :connect, :method => :join_channel

  def initialize(*args, options)
    super
    @options = options
  end

  def join_channel(m)
    bot.join(@options[:channel])
  end
end

Whats the correct way to pass the options Hash to the plugin (and register it in the cinch bot?)

Thanks in advance!

class Foo
  include Cinch::Plugin
  listen_to :connect, :method => :join_channel

  def join_channel(m)
    bot.join(config[:channel])
  end
end

bot = Cinch::Bot.new do
  configure do |c|
    c.plugins.options[Foo][:channel] = "#some_channel"
  end
end

And I hope that plugin was just for demonstrative purposes, as Cinch has built-in options for joining channels when connecting.

Thanks for the snippet.

Could you point me to an example / the doc where the auto join options are shown?

Thanks in advance. :)
