## About
|
|
|
|
|
This Plang plugin provides a scripting interface to PBot. It has access to PBot
|
|
|
|
|
internal APIs and state.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### The Plang Language
|
|
|
|
|
The scripting language is [Plang](https://github.com/pragma-/Plang). It was
|
|
|
|
|
written specifically for PBot, but is powerful enough to be used as a general-purpose
|
|
|
|
|
scripting language embedded into any Perl application.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This document describes PBot's Plang plugin. To learn how to use the Plang scripting

|
language, see the [Plang documentation](https://github.com/pragma-/Plang/blob/master/README.md).

### PBot `plang` and `plangrepl` commands
|
|
|
|
|
#### `plang`
|
|
|
|
|
Use the `plang` command to run a Plang script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage: `plang <code>`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### `plangrepl`
|
|
|
|
|
The `plangrepl` command is identical to the `plang` command, except the environment
|
|
|
|
|
is preserved in-between commands and the types of values is output along with the value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### PBot built-in Plang functions
|
|
|
|
|
[Plang](https://github.com/pragma-/Plang) lets you add custom built-in functions. We
|
|
|
|
|
have added several for PBot. They are described here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### factget
|
|
|
|
|
factget(channel, keyword, meta = "action")
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the `factget` function to retrieve metadata from factoids.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `factget` function takes three paramaters: `channel`, `keyword` and `meta`. The `meta`
|
|
|
|
|
parameter can be omitted and will default to `"action"`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `factget` function returns a `String` containing the value of the factoid metadata key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### factset
|
|
|
|
|
factset(channel, keyword, text)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the `factset` function to set the `action` metadata value for factoids.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `factset` function takes three parameters: `channel`, `keyword` and `text`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `factset` function returns a `String` containing the value of `text`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### factappend
|
|
|
|
|
factappend(channel, keyword, text)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the `factappend` function to append text to the `action` metadata for factoids.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `factappend` function takes three parameters: `channel`, `keyword` and `text`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `factappend` function returns a `String` containing the value of factoid's `action`
|
|
|
|
|
metadata with `text` appended.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### userget
|
|
|
|
|
userget(name)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the `userget` function to retrieve user metadata.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `userget` function takes one parameter: `name`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `userget` function returns a `Map` containing all the metadata of the user, or
|
|
|
|
|
`nil` if there is no user matching `name`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the [Plang Map documentation](https://github.com/pragma-/Plang#map) for a refresher on using Plang maps.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
