Del the funky robosapien

Del is a CLI/library for proxying requests to an XMPP server. It can be used to configure chat bots to respond to direct messages or messages in a multi user chat (MUC) room.

Del is a funky robosapien

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'del'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install del

Run the setup command.

$ del setup

By default all configuration is stored in a yaml file in your $HOME directory named .delrc. E.g. ~/.delrc

The setup will ask you for your XMPP password. If you are uncomfortable storing your password in the .delrc you may skip that prompt. If you choose not to store your password in .delrc then Del will prompt you for your password each time you interact with Del.

Start the chat server:

$ del server

Start the server with a file containing custom chat routes:

$ del server lib/del/examples/routes.rb

Start the server with a remote file:

$ del server https://gist.githubusercontent.com/mokhan/15882e15908273f7880eaeaa336d12d9/raw/a54db41e7824315b63b3e4e88df5c2f74ce27e30/routes.rb

See link for content.

Once the server is started, you may use the client to issue different commands:

Send a message to another user:

$ del message 1_79@chat.btf.hipchat.com "Hello, World!"

Change your status:

$ del status busy "I am on a WebEx call"

Print your profile information:

$ del whoami

Print the profile information of another user:

$ del whois <jid>

Print all users:

$ del users

Interact with Del using a REPL:

$ del console
irb(main):001:0> Del.bot.busy!("I am really, really busy!")
irb(main):002:0> Del.bot.online!
