discord-irc

Connects Discord and IRC channels by sending messages back and forth.

A mostly feature complete port of slack-irc.

Example

Installation and usage

Either by installing through npm:

$ npm install -g discord-irc
$ discord-irc --config /path/to/config.json

or by cloning the repository:

In the repository folder:
$ npm install
$ npm start -- --config /path/to/config.json # Note the extra double dash

It can also be used as a module:

import discordIRC from 'discord-irc';
import config from './config.json';
discordIRC(config);

Configuration

First you need to create a Discord bot user, which you can do by following the instructions here.

Example configuration

[
  // Bot 1 (minimal configuration):
  {
    "nickname": "test2",
    "server": "irc.testbot.org",
    "discordToken": "botwantsin123",
    "channelMapping": {
      "#other-discord": "#new-irc-channel"
    }
  },

  // Bot 2 (advanced options):
  {
    "nickname": "test",
    "server": "irc.bottest.org",
    "discordToken": "botwantsin123",
    "autoSendCommands": [ // Commands that will be sent on connect
      ["PRIVMSG", "NickServ", "IDENTIFY password"],
      ["MODE", "test", "+x"],
      ["AUTH", "test", "password"]
    ],
    "channelMapping": { // Maps each Discord-channel to an IRC-channel, used to direct messages to the correct place
      "#discord": "#irc channel-password" // Add channel keys after the channel name
    },
    "ircOptions": { // Optional node-irc options
      "floodProtection": false, // On by default
      "floodProtectionDelay": 1000 // 500 by default
    },
    "ircNickColor": false, // Gives usernames a color in IRC for better readability (on by default)
    // Makes the bot hide the username prefix for messages that start
    // with one of these characters (commands):
    "commandCharacters": ["!", "."]
  }
]

The ircOptions object is passed directly to node-irc (available options).

Tests

Run the tests with:

$ npm test

Style Guide

discord-irc uses a slightly modified version of the Airbnb Style Guide. ESLint is used to make sure this is followed correctly, which can be run with:

$ npm run lint

The deviations from the Airbnb Style Guide can be seen in the .eslintrc file.
