# Plugins
|
|
|
|
If Chatterino is compiled with the `CHATTERINO_PLUGINS` CMake option, it can
|
|
load and execute Lua files. Note that while there are attempts at making this
|
|
decently safe, we cannot guarantee safety.
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
The following parts of the Lua standard library are loaded:
|
|
- `_G` (all globals)
|
|
- `table`
|
|
- `string`
|
|
- `math`
|
|
- `utf8`
|
|
|
|
The official manual for them is available [here](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/manual.html#6).
|
|
|
|
### Chatterino API
|
|
|
|
All Chatterino functions are exposed in a global table called `c2`. The following functions are available
|
|
|
|
### `register_command(name, handler)`
|
|
|
|
Registers a new command called `name` which when executed will call `handler`.
|
|
Returns `true` if everything went ok, `false` if there already exists another
|
|
command with this name.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```lua
|
|
function cmdWords(ctx)
|
|
-- ctx contains:
|
|
-- words - table of words supplied to the command including the trigger
|
|
-- channelName - name of the channel the command is being run in
|
|
c2.system_msg(ctx.channelName, "Words are: " .. table.concat(ctx.words, " "))
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
c2.register_command("/wordsl", cmdWords)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Limitations/known issues:
|
|
- commands registered in functions, not in the global scope might not show up in the settings UI,
|
|
rebuilding the window content caused by reloading another plugin will solve this
|
|
- spaces in command names aren't handled very well (https://github.com/Chatterino/chatterino2/issues/1517)
|
|
|
|
### `send_msg(channel, text)`
|
|
|
|
Sends a message to `channel` with the specified text. Also executes commands.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```
|
|
function cmdShout(ctx)
|
|
table.remove(ctx.words, 1)
|
|
local output = table.concat(ctx.words, " ")
|
|
c2.send_msg(ctx.channelName, string.upper(output))
|
|
end
|
|
c2.register_command("/shout", cmdShout)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Limitations/Known issues:
|
|
- it is possible to trigger your own Lua command with this causing a potentially infinite loop
|
|
|
|
### `system_msg(channel, text)`
|
|
|
|
Creates a system message and adds it to the twitch channel specified by
|
|
`channel`. Returns `true` if everything went ok, `false` otherwise. It will
|
|
throw an error if the number of arguments received doesn't match what it
|
|
expects.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```lua
|
|
local ok = c2.system_msg("pajlada", "test")
|
|
if (not ok)
|
|
-- channel not found
|
|
end
|
|
```
