Arguments in command

[Cake12356]

I was working on a twitch bot, and it would be nice if I could add arguments to the command. How would I do this?

Hi @Cake12356! There is no built-in support for command arguments at the moment, but a little hacky way you could do it is like this:

Bot.on("message", chatter => {
  const splitMsg = chatter.message.split(" ");
  const command = splitMsg[0];

  if (command === "!cmd") {
    const args = splitMsg.slice(1);
    console.log({ command, splitMsg, args });
    /* Output when typing "!cmd arg1 arg2 arg3" in chat 
      { 
        command: '!cmd',
        splitMsg: [ '!cmd', 'arg1', 'arg2', 'arg3' ],
        args: [ 'arg1', 'arg2', 'arg3' ] 
      }
    */
  }
});

I just wrote this in a couple of minutes, so I'm sure it could be done a better way, and make sure you add some error handling in cases where splitMsg only contains one item (no arguments).

Hope this helps,
