Focus chatbot

This chatbot listens to the focus command and writes it to a focus.csv file. If the file does not exist, it will be created. Rotates the focus.csv file on month or year not matching up. The rotation uses UTC timestamps.

Example:

chat sends:
!focus Creating a chatbot for yuka.
The focus.csv file should contain:
bedtimebear_808,2022-10-09T20:58:57.965000,Creating a chatbot for yuka.

Getting started

Create a new twitch account that you'll use as the chat bot. Maybe something called "yuka_bot" or "bot_with_yuka"? Next you will navigate to https://dev.twitch.tv/console create an application.

Next navigate to the following URL (replacing the <your client id> with the client id from the application).

https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=<your client id>&redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000&scope=chat%3Aread+chat%3Aedit

This will redirect to a URL that looks something like this:

http://localhost:3000/#access_token=<access_token>&scope=chat%3Aread+chat%3Aedit&token_type=bearer

Create a .env file at the root of this project and copy the <access_token> from the URL string. In addition, add in the <channel> where the bot should send messages. Also, we should include the client id. The client id is used to make a GET request to the Twitch API to check if you are live. This should look as follows:

ACCESS_TOKEN=<access_token>
CHANNEL=<channel>
CLIENT_ID=<client_id>
