interface to the irc portion of Twitch's chat

twitchchat

This crate provides a way to interact with Twitch's chat.

Along with parse messages as Rust types, it provides methods for sending messages.

It also provides an 'event' loop which you can use to make a bot.

Opt-in features

By default, this crate depends on zero external crates -- but it makes it rather limited in scope. It can just parse/decode/encode to standard trait types (std::io::{Read, Write}).

To use the AsyncRunner (an async-event loop) you must able the async feature.

NOTE This is a breaking change from 0.12 which had the async stuff enabled by default.

twitchchat = { version = "0.14", features = ["async"] }

To use a specific TcpStream/TlStream refer to the runtime table below.

Serde support

To enable serde support, simply enable the optional serde feature

Runtime

This crate is runtime agonostic. To use..

Read/Write provider	Features
async_io	async-io
smol	smol
async_std	async-std
tokio	tokio and tokio-util

TLS

If you want TLS supports, enable the above runtime and also enable the cooresponding features:

Read/Write provider	Runtime	Features	TLS backend
async_io	async_io	"async-tls"	rustls
smol	smol	"async-tls"	rustls
async_std	async_std	"async-tls"	rustls
