girc, a flexible IRC library for Go
Status
girc is fairly close to marking the 1.0.0 endpoint, which will be tagged as necessary, so you will be able to use this with care knowing the specific tag you're using won't have breaking changes
Features
- Focuses on simplicity, yet tries to still be flexible.
- Only requires standard library packages
- Event based triggering/responses (example, and CTCP too!)
- Documentation is mostly complete.
- Support for almost all of the IRCv3 spec.
- SASL Auth (currently only
PLAIN
andEXTERNAL
is support by default, however you can simply implementSASLMech
yourself to support additional mechanisms.) - Message tags (things like
account-tag
on by default) -
account-notify
,away-notify
,chghost
,extended-join
, etc -- all handled seemlessly (cap.go for more info).
- SASL Auth (currently only
- Channel and user tracking. Easily find what users are in a channel, if a user is away, or if they are authenticated (if the server supports it!)
- Client state/capability tracking. Easy methods to access capability data (LookupChannel, LookupUser, GetServerOption (ISUPPORT), etc.)
- Built-in support for things you would commonly have to implement yourself.
- Nick collision detection and prevention (also see Config.HandleNickCollide.)
- Event/message rate limiting.
- Channel, nick, and user validation methods (IsValidChannel, IsValidNick, etc.)
- CTCP handling and auto-responses (CTCP)
- And more!
