NAME
Dancer::Plugin::IRCNotice - Send IRC notices from your dancer app
SYNOPSIS
use Dancer::Plugin::IRCNotice;
notify('This is a notification');
DESCRIPTION
Dancer::Plugin::IRCNotice provides a quick and dirty way to send IRC
NOTICEs to a specific channel.
This is very alpha software right now. No error checking is done and it
uses a fork to (optionally) background the process of sending the
notice.
CONFIGURATION
plugins:
IRCNotice:
host: 'chat.freenode.net'
nick: 'testnick12345'
name: 'Dancer::Plugin::IRCNotify'
channel: '#dpintest'
fork: 1
The host, nick, name, and channel should be pretty obvious. If fork is
set to a true value, the plugin will fork and background the sending of
the notice.
TODO
This is so bootleg, it really needs to be cleaned up to handle IRC
correctly. Unfortunately, all of the IRC modules I saw on cpan are event
based monstrosities so this just uses IO::Socket::IP to connect.
The notify routine should probably let you override the settings or
maybe I should use something like Dancer::Plugin::DBIC to define
multiple notifiers that can then be used.
A connection to IRC must be made for each notification presently.
Instead, it should try to keep a connection open and reuse it or
something. However, that would require threads instead of simple
forking, and I'm not sure how that will play with whatever plack
frontend people are using.
