Does the nickname have to be lowercase?

According to the Twitch API docs they say it has to be lowercase here: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/irc/guide/

Maybe twitch-js lib already does this?

Investigate further.

I tested using uppercase and lowercase and everything in-between and twitch-js was able to connect without issue. I also looked at the twitch-js module's wiki pages and it doesn't mention that the nickname needs to be lowercase.

Ok cool, maybe the twitch-js package just handles this or the Twitch docs are out of date and no longer require that.

I assume twitch-js handles it as the Go Twitch IRC library I use had to ToLower the nickname too.

Ok that makes sense. Since @parithon tested this out to validate the extension is good to go I'm going to close this. Thanks everyone.
