require 'twitch-chat'

client = Twitch::Chat::Client.new(channel: 'channel', nickname: 'nickname', password: 'twitch_oath_token') do
  on(:connect) do
    send_message 'Hi guys!'
  end

    send_message "FREEEEEDOOOOOM"
  end

  on(:message) do |user, message|
    send_message "Current time: #{Time.now.utc}" if message == '!time'
  end

  on(:message) do |user, message|
    send_mesage "Hi #{user}!" if message.include?("Hi #{nickname}")
  end

  on(:message) do |user, message|
    send_message channel.moderators.join(', ') if message == '!moderators'
  end

  on(:new_moderator) do |user|
    send_message "#{user} is our new moderator"
  end

  on(:remove_moderator) do |user|

client.run!

List of events: :message, :slow_mode, :r9k_mode, :subscribers_mode, :slow_mode_off, :r9k_off, :subscribers_mode_off, :subscribe, :connect, :disconnect, not_supported, raw.

raw event is triggered for every twitch irc message. not_supported event is triggered for not supported twitch irc messages.

if local variable access is needed, the first block variable is the client:

Twitch::Chat::Client.new(channel: 'channel', nickname: 'nickname', password: 'twitch_oath_token') do |client|
  # client is the client instance
end

By default, logging is done to the STDOUT, but you can change it by passing log file path as :output parameter in initializer

Twitch::Chat::Client.new(channel: 'channel', nickname: 'nickname', password: 'twitch_oath_token', output: 'file.log')
