Deno Twitch Message Interface

this package is very similar to tmi.js but for Deno. This package is still very early in development.

What it does

tmi.ts allows you to create bots and automate tasks in a users Twitch Chat.

What you need in order to use

  1. OAuth token – https://twitchapps.com/tokengen/ – make sure that your app’s redirect url matches the websites redirect url
  2. Twitch Client ID
  3. Your Twitch username in lower-case

Example

import { TwitchChat } from "https://deno.land/x/tmi/mod.ts";
import { delay } from "https://deno.land/std@0.64.0/async/delay.ts";

const tc = new TwitchChat({ userName, clientId, oauth });

const channel = await tc.joinChannel("xqc");

// Listen to the channels messages
(async () => {
  for await (const pmsg of channel) {
    // do something with msg here
    if (pmsg.directMsg) {
      channel.send(`@${msg.userName} hey whats up! Poggies!`);
    }
  }
})();
// Wait 10 minutes then close TwitchChat connection
await delay(60000 * 10);
tc.exit();

// OR
// Listen to multiple channels

await tc.connect();

const channels: string[] = ["xqc", "sodapoppin", "ninja"];

// Join all Channels
await Promise.allSettled(
  channels.map(async (channel) => {
    const c = await tc.joinChannel(channel);
    await c.send("Hello I've joined the channel");
    (async () => {
      for await (const pmsg of channel) {
        // do something with msg here
        if (pmsg.directMsg) {
          channel.send(`@${msg.userName} hey whats up! Poggies!`);
        }
      }
    })();
  })
);
// Run code here if you want to do something after joining channels;
console.log("Finished joining all channels");
// Wait 10 minutes then close TwitchChat connection
await delay(60000 * 10);
tc.exit();
